something as simple as clothespins..
Place card settings is something I had never actually made before and
so I decided to make a set using some miniature Christmas bows...
Then my initial idea took a turn and I gave them 2 purposes.
Place Card Settings & Fridge Magnets. :0)
I got out my silver spray paint, some clothespins, tiny Christmas bows, hot glue gun,
and magnet roll..

Ya see where I am going with this? :o)
First I stuck the clothespins on a mason jar.. outdoors of course,
and spray painted them silver.

Then brought them back inside and hot glued the bows on using colors each person
would like...

Then I cut some magnet strips and hot glued that onto the back.

I can use them on the fridge for now, and use them for place card settings for Christmas dinner.
How fun is that? :0)
