10 Minute Craft: Magnetic Recipe Holders

Fire up your hot glue gun, because heating it up is the most time consuming step for this quick and lovely craft!

You will need:

3-5 clothespins
magnetic tape roll
tacky glue
1-2 pieces scrapbook paper with a small print design
1 piece scrapbook paper in a coordinating color
scissors
a hot glue gun

1. Measure and cut your patterned scrapbook paper to fit the front of 1 side of the clothespin, repeat for as many clothespins as needed.
2. Glue paper on with tacky glue, smoothing as much as possible.
3. Trim magnetic tape to fit the back side of your clothespin. Glue with hot glue gun and press firmly to secure.
You could be finished at this point if you like it simple!

 But, if you'd like to add an embellishment, cut out a simple shape in the solid color scrapbooking paper (such as a butterfly or heart) fold it in half, hot glue along the fold, and glue onto the front of your clothespin. (I rolled some strips of paper into little rosettes).
Attach a cute note and you're done!

Makes a great gift (especially with a delicious recipe attached!) ;)
