Fun Kid's Project

 

My apologies for the lousy photos, but I couldn't wait to share!  These are so cute and fast. They are magnets

. We are making these in school for Mother's Day. I used a Georgia Pacific White CS from WalMart and an inexpensive set of school grade colored pencils . You would not believe how smoothly the  color went on this paper. The red square in the photo is a magnetized label that is 2x2. My husband brought home a bag full of these when the company discontinued using them and threw them in the trash. (Dumpster Diving!)  There is a slick plastic surface (red) on the magnet. . I used the Tombow glue and spread it on thinly with the wide tip.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      It worked like a charm! When

dry I covered them with a coat of  Modge Podge to protect them a little. I stamped 85 pieces  for the kids to color, and completed 9 , from start to finish in an hour and a half!  Hope the kids have as much fun as I did!

Hope everyone has a great St. Patty's Day. A little Guiness Stew and some soda bread sounds good right about now. I've got the Irish Tenors on high and some wine chilling. 

(Sorry this Irish girl can't do Corn Beef and Cabbage or Stout). Slange (Cheers) 

anyway!

                         

Finished these cuties last night to give as gifts today. Talk about easy! Just duplicate the front label design or a version of it for the top of the jar. Make a band, slap the label on it, wrap it around the bottle and fill it with something appropriate ( or not )! The leprechaun pills went to my 81 year old Irish Da and  the lemonade jar was for the girls in the front office of my school. Mom is helping me with the jars. She's drinking the coffee for me. I can't do the calories or the lactose. Going to go make some Easter ones now. Enjoy. . .
