A simple idea

These cute magnets look so effective but could not be easier to make. Take a clutch of old Scrabble letters, a pack of sticky-backed magnets and a pair of scissors, and you’ll have them whipped up in minutes. And the nice thing is, the magnets won’t ruin the pieces if you want to use them again. Dab Eucalyptus oil on a cotton wool ball and rub to remove any sticky residue once you’ve peeled them off.

I bought a pack of magnets for a few dollars from my wonderful local stationer, Amazing Paper, but I’m sure you could find them in any crafts store or well-stocked newsagent.
