DIY Stickygrams

I'm sure it will come as no surprise to you, if you've read my blog before, that money's tight.
We are still in the phase where most of our money is invested in making our business work.
That's not what this is about though.

We needed a Christmas gift idea for those we love and on the cheap.
I wanted something personal but subtle enough to fall into day to day life.
Then I started seeing Stickygrams all over the web.
I loved them but couldn't afford to order them for all the family and close friends I had on my list.
So, I went to Staples and found printable magnet sheets.
Perfect.
I then chose my favourite Instagrams from my own account or pinched the giftee's if they were signed up.
{You can save them to your computer if you sign up for Webstagram.}
I'm sure there are much fancier ways to create your file but I just saved them to Word, adjusted the size to what I wanted and printed them side by side.
Make sure to do a tester on plain paper so you know you'll make the most of your magnet sheet.
My sheet ended up like this.

Lastly I just cut them all up by hand.
Of course, once they were done, I couldn't help myself from holding onto a few.
