Magnet Picture Stands

It seems that the "best-seller" at my craft show on Saturday was this Magnet Picture Stand.  Here's yet another variation on using metal and magnets to quickly display a picture.  These can sit on a shelf, dresser, counter, hutch...any small, flat surface.  Another unique use is to use one as a recipe holder on your kitchen counter.  We made them with two different variations - 1. with the metal slanted back a little and perhaps easier to read/see this way and 2. with the metal straight up and this way you could potentially use both sides of the metal (place pictures on both sides)...to put on a table where both sides are seen.  I haven't decided yet if I like one way better than the other!  Anyway, I made 11 of them for the show and they all sold!  They are $10 each.





I have to admit that this one was my favorite:

I just love that ribbon (found at Hobby Lobby) and of course I love that picture of my daughter!  So cute!

More of the Block Magnet Picture Frames

I already posted this picture of my new block magnet picture frame.


Here are a few more examples with different colors and wording.  I love using my ribbon on these to add lots of color, and I also enjoyed making matching marble magnets.  These are $12 each and make for a fun Christmas gift!

Block Magnet Picture Frame

Woo-hoo! My mom has the kids for a few hours and I am finally starting to finish some new projects. Here is another twist on using metal for a picture frame, like here. This is a block that can sit on its own, so I think that's great...easy to move around and place on shelves, countertops, mantles, dressers, etc. No hanging or nails required! And, of course, it's as easy as can be to switch out the pictures.
I'll soon be making more in other color options. Let me know if you have a suggestion for color and word theme! And I also hope to make coordinating marble magnets to sell with the frames. Also, watch soon for more with metal!
And thanks to Danica for our fabulous family pictures that will be adorning all these magnet frames! Here's her photography website.
