So, as can probably be imagined from my last post, I have a lot of Instax photographs knocking around my flat and whilst I am always on the hunt for ways to display them, most of them simply reside in a box on my bookshelf. However, after my noticeboard in the bedroom fell off the wall yet again leaving an exhilarating trail of little pins over the floor and nestled snuggly in the rug, I realised things needed to change. Whilst realising that what my toes require is a magnet board, it occured to me that Instax photos are the perfect size for turning into magnets!
So without further ado, here is another revision procrastination project:
I bought the sticky magnets from eBay but most craft shops seem to stock them. The left is made from a reel of 'Magnet Tape' so it is quite narrow but works fine. I prefer the right one, I just traced the Instax photo and cut out the magnet shape from an A4 sheet of sticky 'Magnet Paper', it feels nicer and looks smarter, but is slightly more expensive. I guess which option you choose depends whether you're making magnets for yourself or for someone else!
Whilst at it I magnetised a few of my buttons, don't they make the best magnets imagineable!
All it remains for me to do is actually buy a magnet board so I can move these little fellas off of the radiator (although I secretly quite like them there)!
