I like keeping paper and a pen on the fridge, but I’m not a fan of the paper just hanging there by a magnet. I wanted something that would hold the paper and not take up a lot of space. The plastic packaging from recently finished Tic Tac’s provided the perfect size container considering I like writing notes on small pieces of paper instead of large pieces. It’s an easy project that takes less than half an hour to complete.
What I used:
- Plastic Tic Tac Container with the white top removed
- Pencil and Scissors
- Patterned scrapbook paper
- Mod Podge for paper
- EK Jolee’s Boutique Vellum Cupcake
- Self-Adhesive Rhinestones
- Self-Adhesive Business card sized magnet
Start by tracing the front, back and sides of the Tic Tac container onto the back of the scrapbook paper. While you’re tracing the front of the container, stand it up to trace the bottom as well.
Cut the shape out, then use Mod Podge for paper to attach patterned paper to the container – the open part should face up. Apply the glue one side at a time and smooth down along the way to make sure it lines up correctly and doesn’t wrinkle. If the bottom piece doesn’t fit exactly, cut it off and glue on an extra piece of the paper, then wait until it dries to trim the excess.
Choose one adorable vellum cupcake for the front of the container, peel it off and stick it on. I have a fondness for cupcakes, but you can always opt for another food related embellishment as well.
Place one self-adhesive rhinestone on each front corner.
Trim the magnet to fit most of the back, then peel off and stick on.
Trim note paper to fit into the container and include a pen for quick use.
