Flip Flop Organization

Another idea I saw on Pinterest that I modified and am so excited about!  My flip flops don't sit so well on the shoe racks I use in my closet, so they were strewn about on the floor and it was difficult to find them when I wanted them.  Perusing around Pinterest I found several pins with metal hangers that were cut and bent to hold flip flops.  I then saw one pin where child-sized hangers were used.  Genius!  I used an adjustable shower curtain rod and the little plastic hangers and in no time at all...  

Magnetic store list.

Just this week I finally joined Pinterest and have now become obsessed...  In the last 3 days I have created more from the inspiration I've pinned than I have in the last 3 months.  I wanted to share today's project.  I combined a couple of the ideas I saw on Pinterest to get the idea for this project.  

This will go in the kitchen to us communicate what we have and what we need to buy when we're at the store.  The supplies I bought were large glass gems (from the dollar store), modge podge, magnets, a cookie sheet, and gorilla glue.  I used my paper punch to punch 1 1/4" circles of patterned paper from my stash.  

Once I had all the circles punched, I wrote the various staples we generally have on our shopping list.  I used the ultra fine point Sharpie markers.

Then, brush the front side of the paper with modge podge glue and stick to the glass gems.  Allow this to dry a couple minutes.

Apply the magnets with gorilla glue and I used clothes pins as a clamp.  Allow to dry for 1 hour.

I used stickers to spell out "need" and "have" on my cookie sheet.
