    Have you ever visited the button aisle at Joanne Fabrics? Well, let me tell you it's a pretty darn happy place to end up. Last week, as I stood with my sister admiring the varieties of buttons and cursing my lack of sewing talent, it dawned on me...I own a glue gun and I'll be darned if those buttons wouldn't make the cutest magnets ever. And just like that, my 5 minute DIY Button Magnets were born.

    DIY-Button-MagnetsHere's what you need to get started...

    Supplies:
    Assorted buttons
    Hot glue gun
    Magnets

    Step 1:
    Add a dab of hot glue to the back of each magnet.

    Step 2:
    Press a glue covered magnet to the back of each button.

    Step 3:
    Allow magnets to dry completely and arrange on refrigerator.

      So cute Leah! I have it stuck in my mind that I'm spray painting those little letter magnets metallic gold as soon as we move to the new house.

      I don't know if you remember, but when we were kids I had a button collection. I've always had a thing for buttons, and I love the magnet idea!
