Big-Ass Book of Crafts 2: Magnet Vine

"[A] fridge ended up covered in ugly magnets,"(Montano 126). A fridge with ugly magnets is one of the worst things to happen in a kitchen. Personally I hate going to the kitchen and looking at the unorganized fridge as I get a snack. There is nothing particularly interesting at looking at a plain fridge. So I decided to choose this craft so that I can spruce up my boring fridge and make it something worth looking at. "Now, every time I go to sneak a spoonful of Cool Whip, I smile," (Montano 126).

While I was doing this craft I couldn't find plain round magnets, weird, right? So I broke some magnetic clip and used then. The thing about this art project is that it is really simple and you can make it your own. Just take the flowers out and replace it with your own design and voila! You have a unique magnetic vine that personalizes your fridge to your own liking.

The materials are 12 faux flowers and faux leaves, 6 plain round magnets, hot glue guns ans glue sticks, and one yard of green satin corn or ribbon.

The steps are:

1. Glue a flower and a couple of leaves to each magnet with your hot glue gun.

2. Apply glue to the other side of the magnet and attach the flower magnet to the satin cord.

3. Add a few more flowers and leaves along the cord to make it look like a vine.
