In the perfect world … this project would have posted while I was away. In the imperfect world where I live … it had to wait until I got back home.

This project is just a little something fun I did before I left on my trip. It was one of those super quick and easy projects (my favorite kind) and it was a little diversion from all the preparation involved in getting ready to be out of town for a week. As I was getting ready I was decluttering a bit and came across this magnetic clip.

Clip before

My first inclination was to throw it away because it didn’t meet the criteria. I didn’t love it. I didn’t use it. I didn’t need it.

But then I thought … why not alter it? Then I’ll love it because it’ll be cute. And then I can use it for hanging the weekly menu plan on the fridge. Suddenly, I needed this clip and couldn’t figure out how I had lived without it for so long. 😉

So here’s my new clip.

Clip after

More fun, isn’t it? To make this little beauty, all you need is a clip (yes … this could be the hard part) and then simply use mod podge, a sanding block and rub ons — just like the clipboard project only smaller. Very simple. Very quick. Very fun.

So if you dont have a clip … maybe you can’t play along this week. Or can you? What can you save from the trash can or recyle bin by altering with some cardstock, mod podge and a little imagination? Hmmm … I hear the wheels in your head turning …. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
