I found white wooden frames at Walmart for $3.00 a piece and took the glass out. The I framed 8x10 pieces of sheet metal that the hubby cut for me. (You can get a pretty decent sized sheet at the Home Depot for around $6.00. It covered all of these and a previous 16x20 project.)
Made the magnets with stickers and scrapbook paper that I already had. I like to buy my "pebbles" at Target because they always have the larger size in stock and you can get a nice big bag for around $5.00. I buy my magnets in sets of 50 at Walmart where they are more affordable then even my local craft stores.

Ah Holly, this is so lovely and so useful! Practical, yet beautiful. Where do you get all those smart ideas, I so wonder.;)
Perfect. That really is so clever, and would make such a cute addition to a teacher's desk at school. LOVE THEM!
Great idea! I love these simple gifts so much better than the expensive things...and homemade also! Comes from the heart!
What fabulous teacher gifts! You did a wonderful job on those and I bet the teachers LOVE them!!!

I am a former teacher and I know I would have loved to get a cute gift like this! Great job!
Totally appropriate and I think every teacher is always needing a place to put the zillion of notes that come across their desk. I love it!
Good job on your teacher's gifts! Lovely!
These are just darling - I love them! So cute :)
