You will need:
- Magnetic strips - mine were from a generic craft store - on a roll and then cut
- Scraps of fabric/and or paper
- Wooden pegs
- Mix of PVA (wood glue) and water (I mixed 1 part glue to 3 parts water)
- Extra PVA
3. Trace around peg shape and cut with sharp scissors.
I used this method to hold magnet in place while glue set.
Super quick and easy...you are done!
I think they make a sweet little housewarming gift...
Or, you could just keep them for yourself!
P.S. I am so excited with the feedback I have had from my dress pattern. And as a little aside, it has had over 1,800 views and since I posted it on my blog four days ago. Yahoo!

I have been meaning to make some of these, I never thought to try it with fabric though, a great way to use up some scraps. Congratulations on the runaway success of your dress pattern, everyone loves a great tutorial and pattern, and you can't beat a free one!
This is a great idea! I've been trying to think up a thrifty housewarming present idea for a few weeks...now I've got one. Thank you!
No worries mezz!
Hey Suzie, how do you manage to take a photo of your two hands?? :) Great way to pin things to the fridge, beats magnets of local members of parliament which were left in our letter box! Kaz xx
Hi there,
These are great! What a super little project! I think I might have a go - to add some more colour to my crafting room! :-)
Thanks for sharing!

Adorable; thank you!
Coming from someone who doesn't sew...do you ever sell any of your dresses? I'd buy several! Adorable!!!!
Very interesting! This is indeed an awesome housewarming and giveaway gifts for parties since it’s easy to make and cost less. This is worth the try, and hopefully my wife appreciates it when she saw the finish product. ;-)
