DIY ABC Magnets


This is a cute DIY gift idea for the little ones in our life. We are starting letters with my 2 year old and I hate the cheap looking ones we had with our 5 year old...I'm still finding random missing ones around the house.

I used the idea from my previous post of turning your kids art work into magnets for this gift idea.

I love this idea because if you can use pretty scrapbook paper and make it more personalized. My son loves football so I used football skin paper.

What will need:


  • 12×12 scrapbook paper
  • Clear gems (I used the bigger ones)
  • Sharpie
  • Mod podge
  • Magnets

What to do:
1. Cut circles to the size of the stone. I had a circle cutter that I had in my craft stuff. If you don't have one trace the stone and cut them out.
2. Write a letter on each circle with the sharpie.

3. Place small layer of mod podge on the stone and then add the paper.

4. Once dry add your magnet.

Brownies in a cup


Today I'm going to share a great DIY gift that I will be making more for my teen nieces and nephews this Christmas.

First you will start with a mug. I picked mine up at the dollar tree.
Write on your cup with the recipe with a sharpie.
  • 4 tbs Flour
  • 4 tbs Sugar
  • 2 tbs Cocoa
  • 2 tbs oil
  • 2 tbs water
  • 1/2 tps vanilla
  • Cook for 1 min in microwave

Place mug in oven at 350 for 30 min to bake the sharpie on the cup.

To make this gift complete I will be adding a couple bags of all the dry ingredients into the gift.
