Magnabilities

I LOVE my Magnabilities.  My friend first introduced me to Magnabilities a year ago.  She gave me a pendant and a couple of inserts for my birthday.  I was instantly hooked!  For those of you that don't know....Magnabilities are these genius creations where you have a single pendant necklace that you can change out the center piece.  You can order them online and even create custom inserts.  I made one with my boys' pictures on it and also made one with my school logo.  Did I mention that I love them?  Anyway...I have collected enough inserts now that I am getting annoyed with having them all in a small jewelery box drawer together.  So....I was inspired by magnetic board projects I had seen at Ben Franklin and my friend Jenni's creation, and decided to make a Magnabilities magnetic board insert holder.  :-)  This was a super easy project....

I used a 12x12 magnetic sheet cut down to 8x8 (to fit the frame I bought). 

I chose a piece of paper I wanted to use as a background and placed it on top of the magnet sheet.  I didn't glue it down in case I changed my mind later about what I liked for a background.

I placed it all in the frame with the glass piece behind the magnetic sheet.

I then added a cute flower to the bottom corner and added all of my inserts.

I hope you like it! 

I also worked on a super cute St. Patrick's Day banner and started an Easter "Peeps" Banner today.  I'm hoping to get those posted soon!

Did you have to make all the pendants via their website, or did you make some of them yourself? Where did you get the magnetic sheet (Ben Franklin?) Enquiring minds want to know...well, maybe just my enquiring mind! :)
