office kraft

I started thinking about gifts to make for my work friends back in august; eye pillows, twisted fabric brooch things, decoupaged pen/pencil jars, baked goods, personalized coffee mugs, etc. I finally, pressured by time and desire to be done with it, decided on diy magnets. I've made these magnets before, and actually have them on our fridge and magnet board, had ordered some from etsy a while back, and realized they would be an easy gift to make and deliver. I started with decorative paper, kind of girlie, then started cutting circles out of some of my favorite magazines. You can see the magnets I ended up giving to the guys in the office. I'm sure they were grateful to dodge the cute green button paper. I tore out pages from magazines that kind of looked Christmas-y, and wrapped the buttons in envelope style. I used the magnets to display the card and gift on my coworkers' filing cabinets. This is a super, super easy craft.
