I think it turned out SUPER cute. The best part was that it cost practically nothing since I had all the ribbon and magnet sheets and scrapbook paper/cutouts. I only had to buy the muffin tin--$4.50 at Walmart.Here's a link with directions. I opted not to put numbers on mine, mainly because I didn't have enough number stickers! I was also going to paint the tin, but I decided at the last minute not to. I think it looks fine as is.
I hot-glued some rings to the back of the tin and tied different ribbons to it to jazz it up a little. Then I hot-glued the wide grosgrain ribbon so I could hang it. I hope it holds!
Let me know if you want more detailed instructions. I didn't follow the ones on that link exactly.
I can't wait to start using it! I think I told you that I'm going to fill the cups with family activities each day. I have a partial list, but John and I are going to finish our list (24 things is a lot to come up with!) on our long road trip this week. I'm sure you'll hear about some of 'em!
cute, cute!!!

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog...I live in CO too...I'm guessing fairly close to you. It will be fun to read someone nearby...
So cute. I also want to hear about the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! One year we had a red bulletin board with an activity behind each tag, but the board has since been repurposed, so this would be great!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Really, really cute and your daughter looks so happy.
ReplyDeleteWill you share the ideas you put inside?
Love it! Did you see that I posted mine, too? Thanks for the inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteCool. I think that could even be customized to suit this non-christmas-tree-or-presents family.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Very, very cute. I like that you said it was easy to do. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your list of family activites--
ReplyDeleteNot fair that you clean well and are crafty. Usually, we should give up one of those. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi! I found you through Bears & Belles. I love this idea. In fact I have an extra muffin tin in my gift box! How cool is that?! I am anxious to hear what you put in them!
