Swap It Like It’s Hot: Flower & Chalkboard Magnets

April 6, 2016

It’s time again for the Swap It Like It’s Hot series where a bazillion bloggers swap thrift store finds and repurpose them into something a bit more functional and beautiful.  Huge thank you to Charlotte at Ciburbanity for organizing this whole series!
Larissa at Prodigal Pieces sent me a few fun finds and I ended up making the flower chalkboard magnets above for our refrigerator.  I sent some interesting items to Heather at Southern State of Mind, wonder how she repurposed them?  Go see!
Today there are 8 DIY bloggers sharing their Swap It items, be sure stop by each one for some amazing ideas!

Larissa at Prodigal Pieces sent me the above thrift store items.  For some reason I was really stumped as to how to transform these pieces so I started pulling apart the orange fabric flower.

Step 1: Spray paint the flower bright pink.
Step 2: Hot glue the little chalkboard onto the flower then attach a magnet to the back.
Wa – lah!  Such an easy transformation, pretty and useful now.

    Of course you thought of something perfect and cute. My kids would go nuts for these… and we can NEVER find a magnet when we need one. Always so smart. 🙂
