It is so beautifully springy here today that I have to keep reminding myself that it is February!!!
Here is a fun little project that I did using old painting hoops I found at the thrift store.
These old hoops make beautiful little magnet boards when covered with a pretty paper.
This is what the hoops looked like before.
I traced the circle, cut and then applied to the metal using a spray glue.
That was all there was to it. Easy peasy!!
Just a reminder about my giveaway. I will be drawing names on Saturday, Feb.20, 2010.
Thank you SO VERY MUCH to everyone for all the very sweet comments
about my blog.....I appreciate you all very much!

Janis, I have never seen painting hoops either. Very cool! I wonder if you could use Embroidery Hoops with metal of some sort???
Anyhoo........great post!

I have never seen these hoops either! Your project turned out great and I love the paper you used.
I love simple projects like this! Easy to do, but they have such an impact!
Those painting hoops are new for me too! Great transformation!
Love this project. Is the paper just scrapbook paper or what? Very nice.
Great project. I've never seen the hoops either but I love what you did with them.

Bonjour Janis,
Great idea, so creative. Like everyone else here I'm off to find some of these painting hoops too!

I see I'm not alone when I say I've never seen those but will be looking for them now! That is so cool, vintage ephemera always gets to me, it's always gorgeous whether I know what it says or not! You are just soooo creative! Thanks for stopping by, Theresa

Now I've seen everything - lol. Just what will you think of next. Your brain must be constantly dreaming up new projects. Another winner! Thanks so much.
I absolutely love the paper you chose! Looks like it would go well in my pink and chocolate bedroom. Great idea Janis - most magnet boards are soooo boring. These are awesome and I also noticed the pink flower magnet ~ vintage jewelry? Just the right accessory for the paint hoop.
