Quick, easy, inexpensive and pretty enough to give as a gift. Sometimes projects meeting that criteria are hard to come by. If you have a few fabric scraps, or not, a few decorative buttons and some glue, you're almost finished already!
I found the plastic clips for these fancy little fridge magnets at Target for $1. (That's $1 for all four clips!) They came with a small magnet already glued on the back. I gathered some yo yo's and some buttons and started auditioning.
No yo yo's. No problem. Large buttons look just as good on their own. As long as they have personality plus, you're set. Just glue them on.
If you choose the yo yo route, simply glue the yo yo down first. Then glue the button of your choice to the center. I used a low temperature glue in my glue gun for this project. You could easily use a craft glue like Allene's Tacky Glue.
It's a great project for kids. Just think of the smiles a child could put on the face of a teacher or grandparent. Of course, if you're a kid at heart, you can just make oodles of these for yourself and smile every time you walk past them.
They all look lovely and fresh, perfect for the fridge.

Those clip magnets are so handy to have and look extra fun with yo yos and buttons. A great way to dress up a fridge.
