Dishwasher Magnet

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!!
