I've read some negative comments about 'Mollie Makes' magazine on a few blogs lately, and whilst I do know what they mean about the 'twee' cover photos which always feature hands and that some of the articles can be a bit 'samey', nevertheless I tend to buy a copy every month. Not everything featured in the magazine floats my boat - bit too much reliance on Japanese-style embroidery and amigurumi-type felted animals for my taste - but I usually find at least one thing that inspires me every month.
This month I was intrigued by the button fridge magnets they showed, especially as I have quite a large stash of vintage buttons and a pile of stick-on magnet strips.
Ta-dah, a quick sort through my buttons to find some without shanks and a bit of judicious snipping to size of the stick-on magnets and I've got enough button magnets to keep me going for a while. I'm particularly liking the square brown button magnet and the little wooden one in the bottom left corner.
nice ideas for the buttons. decorate the fridge instead of keeping them in the tin LOL.
The felted doggies look very interesting to me - something I'd make.

I subscribe to Mollie Makes, I haven't read this month's yet, though I liked the 'vintage' buttons free gift. I have lots of buttons in my tin so I really like this idea, just need some of the stick on magnet strips.

The buttons can make wonders when employed correctly and it is clear from here
