My magnetic pin holder was quite an ugly blue plastic thing. Now with the help of a lovely antique ceramic dish my magnetic pin holder is beautiful.
Just a few minutes and a few supplies is all you need!
DIY Magnetic Pin Dish Supplies
ceramic dish or plate with an indented area on the bottom where a magnet can fit
1 or 2 heavy duty magnets (no taller than the ridge on the bottom of the dish)
magnetic pins
hot glue
How to make a magnetic pin holder
Hot glue the magnets to the bottom of the dish with a tiny amount of glue. I used hot glue so if I changed my mind I could easily peel off the magnets later.
Add the pins and you have a magnetic pin holder. What a great way to make those handpainted family treasures useful. I think these would also make wonderful gifts!
Endless hours of travel and gas money looking for the look I wanted was now accomplished with this idea Thanks.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of this! I put magnets on the bottom of everything! (well, not everything after all). LOL!! Kudos for an easy method to make and use-my favorite kind! 😉
This is awesome. Thanks!
This is a great idea….I can’t wait to make one, I am sick and tired of losing pins all the time. Will make a great gift too! :)Thank you
This is an Incredible Idea! I love these old dishes, but what do you do with them?….Here’s the answer – Thanks!
