Things from the Craft Room: Magazine Holder & Barrettes

Magazine Holder
made from a cereal box!


I used the smallest box size for this particular one, since the magazines are so little.
You can see the tutorial here.

Barrettes
I used mini alligator clips with teeth. I think they stay in place fabulously!
I got them from Hobby Lobby.


And my ribbon is 1/4" wide. It was a 4-pack from the Target Dollar Spot.
But most craft stores have ribbon on sale for 40% off or more all the time.



These were my very first barrettes:


They're ok and we'll use them,
but they don't look near as finished as my second attempt:

You can see the tutorial for these here.



...next up: korker bows and tile pendants!
