this DIY combines two of my favourite habits- writing lists and making labels!
since the arrival of my dymo i've pretty much labelled anything i can get my mitts on.. boxes, notebooks, even my tea collection (...you name it i've stuck a label on it.) i was cleaning up my craft cupboard when i found an old roll of magnetic tape and bam.. retro label maker magnets became my new thing!
fancy getting involved too? read on..
materials:
label maker and tape
scissors
grab yourself a label maker and create some labels- you can print anything you like! my magnets are going on my fridge so i opted for reminders and fun little slogans.
next take some magnetic tape and cut it to fit the labels you made.
remove the self adhesive backing and stick the labels onto the magnets. taaa daaa, all done (seriously it's too easy to make these!)
so now my fridge magnets are complete i can stick up my reminders and shopping lists. nothing makes a list more fun to write than some snazzy new pens and these LAMY ones are a total dream to write with. for me handwriting is a very personal thing so finding a good pen that feels right is kinda a big deal.
(also i hadn't used a fountain pen since school and had totally forgotten how much i loved them!)
i'm really happy with how my retro style magnets turned out and to celebrate my love of list writing i've teamed up with LAMY. listen up fellow stationery geeks!
i have three sets of LAMY pens to share (that's 3 winners hurrah!) each set contains a special edition AL-star aluminium fountain pen and pico pocket pen- pictured above.
simply enter through the rafflecopter draw below and make sure to follow all the requirements. the winners will be selected at random- good luck!

SUCH A COOL IDEA! Also, I already own a LAMY Safari pen so I know how good they are. Would be awesome to own another! xx
ReplyDeleteWow these pens look lovely. Brilliant fridge magnets. I write list everywhere and would love a decent pen x
ReplyDeleteI love both pens and I would love to make a shopping list magnet - I am always jotting down what I need to get at the shops on scraps of paper but they often get lost around the kitchen! I would also make 'to do' magnets and message magnets for my kids too!
