Last Minute Stocking Stuffer

**Don't forget! The giveaway is still going until Christmas Eve. You still have time to enter!**

As I was browsing the toy section at Walmart (in search of something for an upcoming craft), I came across some magnetic letters for just a dollar! I decided to buy them, in hopes that I would find something to do with them.

I decided to Mod Podge wrapping paper onto them. Perfect!


For this project, I didn't really want the paper to lay totally flat. I wanted a few wrinkles, just so that they wouldn't be so plain.

(do you see the hidden word?)

They were so easy to make. All I did was Mod Podge the front of each letter and press them on the back of the wrapping paper. Once I got a good stamp of the letter onto the Mod Podge, I peeled the letter off and cut out the outline that my letter left. Then, I just Mod Podged the wrapping paper letter onto the magnetic letter.
(Did that even make sense? I'm trying to hurry! I have a Christmas party I need to go to!)

The only thing that would make these better is if I would have painted the sides so that they matched the paper. Or, if I had lots of time, maybe I would have wrapped the sides as well.

Wouldn't these be fun as a stocking stuffer? Or, even as a birthday present if you used some different wrapping paper.

I am going to do this! I think I will spray paint them all the same color before I do it. I have tissue paper with glitter (also from Wal*Mart) that I might use. Thanks for this great idea.

I'm coming late to this post, but I just wanted to say that they're very cute! I can see a girly set using Valentine's paper, or some kind of funky paper for tweens as a magnet set for their room or to put their name in their school locker.
