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.
Wooden pegs (I had Mr. Hobby cut pegs from a wooden dowel rod)
Strong Magnets
White Spray Paint
Craft Paint
Paint Brush
Hot Melt Glue Gun
Clear Sealer
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!
Soil pH determines what nutrients plants can actually take up — even a perfectly fertilised bed at pH 4.5 will starve plants because the nutrients lock up. Most vegetables want pH 6.0-7.0. Most ornamentals are similar.

A wheelbarrow is fine for one or two trips. For shifting a cubic metre of mulch from the driveway to the back garden, a four-wheel garden cart is faster, kinder on your back, and dumps where you ask it to. The right cart
