I totally took advantage of the vast amount of school supplies available now for this little project.
I had wanted to tidy up our refrigerator. I love having photos, artwork, etc. on the fridge, but it was looking kind of messy.
So I bought some wooden rules and a roll of adhesive magnet strip. I already had the clothespins, paint, glue gun, and the other little things (paint brush, etc.) needed to make this.
I took apart the clothespins and painted them. Once they dried, I put them back together.
Then I stuck on the magnet strips. Mine had an adhesive back to them, but one kept falling off so I had to hot glue that one on. Then lastly, I hot glued on the clothespins making sure to spread them out evenly.
Now my photos are organized.
And so is my daughter’s artwork (which we change out a lot).
I had to share one of my favorites. This is “Eva” from Wall-e. Doesn’t she do a good job? She draws the little floaty arms and blue eyes! I love how she picks up on details!
Anyone else using school supplies to create something new?
What and awesome idea! I really love how simple and cute it is! I might have to make one in red for my kitchen!
I really love this. And other loves include…the colors you used, your new gorgeous, blog look, and your comment that made me incredibly happy!
I love it!
I love this!! Genius!
oh my goodness…this is GREAT! Totally copying.

Very impressed with the Eva drawing…and the refrigerator organization project! I need some of that around here.
This is a wonderful idea!
Such a great idea. I love it.
This is a great idea! It would also work well using a yardstick and hung on the wall in a bedroom! Or as a display for inspiration in a craft room!
Great idea!
Clever idea. I love that you used the rulers – I have a thing for rulers.
What a great idea and such a cute picture that your daughter drew. I remember when my kids were that young, I wanted to hang everything!
What a cute idea- I love this! Thanks so much for the details, I’ll be linking.
Love the idea! Thanks for sharing!
