DIY: Word Magnets

Yay! Something to make with the hundreds of pages I cut out of Eragon to make my book box. Today I will be explain how to make word magnets. You know, the ones that cost like a ton of money in the stores and are so much funnier to make.

Added bonus: They make great Christmas presents! And Christmas is in less than three months, scary.

First you will need:

- pages, newspaper, or other things with bigger words on them.

- scissors

- magnet sheets {you can get these at your local craft store. Or if you are really lucky, like me, you can find them at the dollar store.}

Cut out the words or sentences you want as magnets.

Cut out a piece of the magnet that is only a little bit bigger than the word or sentence.

Peel off the back and stick the word or sentence on the magnets sticky side.

Cut the excess off. And there you have it, a beautiful word magnet.

So there ends the DIY on word magnets. If anything doesn't make sense or if you just have a question please comment. Oh, I don't mind comments on how awesome this post was either. So if  *cough* anyone whats to, I love comments. ☺

DIY: book box

You will need:
- A book with good binding
- A ruler
- A pocket knife or box cutter
- A pair of scissors
- A pen


Step 1 :
Decide how big you want you book compartment to be.



Step 2 :
Trace a line so you know where to cut.



Step 3 :
Cut on the line all the way around.



Use the scissors in the arrears the knife does not happen to cut through.

Repeat set 3 until your box is to the desired depth. This project takes time and patience but is well worth the effort. Good luck on your book boxes.

P.S. Don't throw away your cut away pages. There are so many uses for them. Watch out for another DIY on how you can use them.
