I follow a brillant idea from Fils & Pluches to create my own magnets.

The technic is really simple: using advert magnets (or you can buy magnetic sheet in a craft shop) just peel of the top layer of the magnet and  glu fabrics scrap or  poscard (my choice) on it.

I used a poscard from The Barking Dog (sent to me by my friend Adeline)  and a painting from my friend Valerie (showing  the small island of New Caledonia) .

And hop, on the fridge…

 P1000119

Easy!

I have met Melanie a few months ago throught her lovely blog and her hat’s tutorial. Since then, I stayed a huge fan of what she does.

She is very funny and creative, an other proof of that is the new blog she just launched with one of her friends. I love the concept its so cute! It is to share kids stories and teddy bears.

So, because she is worth it (as said the advert) …

… I made this bag for her :

 Bag PtitBoutDFil (2)

 The tutorial came from P’tit Bout Fil and it is very very easy to follow.

 

And to go with the bag, a matching Obi belt:
