My New BFF
What’s sparkles in the shade, is deer resistant, drought tolerant, smothers weeds, propagates easily but isn’t invasive, has hot pink berries in fall, and helps
Today I’m sharing easy to make wood peg magnets! What I love most about these magnets is that even though the magnet is very strong, these magnets are easy to grasp and move around.

In the picture below, I included gold and white washi tape, but I didn’t end up using it for this project, because I decided I did not want to cover the wood.
After Mr. Hobby cut the 1/2 inch pegs for me from a wood dowel rod, I lightly sanded them to remove the rough edges.
I coated the heavy-duty magnets with white spray paint.
I painted the tips of the wood pegs with white craft paint.
I added a little pattern to the top of the wooden pegs with a metallic rose-colored craft paint. I’m a little sad that the color doesn’t look very impressive in the picture, but it really is a lovely color! Have fun with these and use any colors you want.
The pegs were attached to the magnets with a little hot glue. I finished them off by spraying them with a light coat of clear sealer.
These took minutes to put together! Best of all, I love how easy they are to move around on my fridge.
Thank you!
