BOOOOOoooooored

     During break I've gotten pretty bored, the only friend I really have visited since the big move is away doing fun stuff, leading me to be pulled to the internet. Here's a list of stuff to do for those with a similar dilemma.
  • Write letters to your future self
  • Explore craft blogs (hint, hint)
  • Explore those places in town you've never stepped foot in
  • Think of your own DIY
  • Make a board game, or an opoly, Staples lets you print 3x5 in poster if you need to print the board.
  • Hang out with friends (sigh)
  • Practice standing one one leg or pushups or.......
  • Babysit
  • Make large quantities of stuff to sell on etsy
  • Check out fiverr
  • Skate around the block
  • Learn how to skate
  • Work on your signature
  • Work on drawing
  • Go to the music store and play around with instruments
  • Go to the Y, fun tends to vary on how popular it is in your area
  • Clean half of your room then procrastinate
  • Check out Hyperbole and a Half
  • Check out The Blood of a Rose
  • Realize your too bored to really feel like doing most of this
  • Comment other ideas of stuff to do

DIY Cute Button Magnets

     Merry Christmas! I got more supplies, so as a present to you here's a quick DIY:)
Materials:
  • Buttons, stickers, or scrapbooking adhesives
  • Magnets (I used the dots with adhesive sides from Michaels)
  • Hot glue gun (if magnets aren't already sticky)
Directions:
  1. Peel paper from adhesive magnet/put a dab of hot glue on magnet
  2. Stick button to magnet
  3. Repeat until desired amount of magnets is reached
     Although the origin of this progect was to make button magnets, I think using scrapbooking adhesives works a bit better.
