DIY Magnetic Poetry

I got this from [livejournal.com profile] lifehacker_rss, which got it from Curbly here:



Love those magnetic poetry sets? Curbly shows you how to whip up one of your own.

All you need is one of those magnetic calendars that tend to show up in the mailbox this time of year, plus a sheet of Avery labels. Print, stick, cut and you're done. It's a fast, fun, why-didn't-I-think-of-that kind of project.

As one of Curbly's commenters mentioned, you can save a step (and get better overall results) with an inkjet-compatible magnetic sheet, which is printable on one side. Staples, for example, has a four-pack, enough to make a boatload of magnetic words, for $11.98.

Hey, I was going to e-mail you tonight. We just picked up the woodcarver set from the Post Office box. Thank you so much! Delia was just thrilled and has started reading the book.

I'm so glad! I wish I'd had eye protection and gloves to send along, but I expect you can get those cheaply and may even have some.
