Do you have trouble with family members not paying attention to this?
On a few occasions Hunkie didn't realize the dishes in the dishwasher were clean. Those occasions occurred at about 5 am in the morning after a 12 hour shift! So this didn't upset me but I sure wanted to help the situation out!
Welcome the Dishwasher Magnet!
This little gem is pretty handy in my book and so I plan on making 11 more for the Bunco ladies!!
Here's what I did:
Supplies
Graphic of choice OR you can use the one I made!
{Thanks to The Graphics Fairy for the cute utensils!}
Paper of choice or cardstock
Mod Podge
Magnet
Scissors/Hot Glue Gun
Optional: if you use paper to print the graphic on then you'll need a piece of thin cardboard for sturdiness...I used the piece of cardboard that comes behind a package of scrapbook paper.
Note: I printed the graphic onto parchment paper because I didn't want just plan white.
The size of the graphic is about 3 inches by 3 inches. I cut it out with about a 3/4 of an inch border. Then I cut a piece of cardboard the same size as the graphic.
I then placed the cardboard on the back of the graphic and folded the edges in.
I then cute the corners....
....then cut again, cutting away the triangles of the corner....
....then folded the corners in...think of it as like wrapping a present!!
Next I spread some mod podge down and inserted the cardboard piece.
Mod podged along the edges of the cardboard piece.
Then I folded down the corners and applied a smaller square piece of paper on top of the folds.
I put a thin as possible coat of mod podge on the top...it lifts the ink so be thin and quick! ☺
Lastly, I hot glued the magnet on. All done!
Now I have a stylish, friendly indicator!!
11 more to go!!
Feel free to use this all you want!!
See my Link Parties Page for where I'll be having fun at!!
Happy Thursday!!
