Avery Labels = Magnetic Poetry Words

by on Jan 4, 2007

Several white magnets are on a black wall.

Grab a sheet of Avery Labels, one of those thin magnetic calendars you received in the mail over the holidays–generally from a mortgage company or a realtor–and make your own magnetic words.

A pair of scissors cutting a piece of material that has a sticker that says DIY maven.

For my Curbly-themed terms, I used Avery return address labels, #5267. I formatted them using Times New Roman, size 19 font, and aligned the text both vertically and horizontally. Although the #5267’s were the perfect height, any size would work. As would any font, of course.

I ripped the decal off the front of the calendar so its print wouldn’t show through. A few cuts to either end of the labels and I had custom words.

P.S. A label maker would work slick for this project too!

Words are written on little slips of paper on a black surface.

 

Paper board ideas using good quotes.
