diy {5 minute To Do list}

There are a million things I should be doing instead of making notepads. I have my last SnapShop of the year this weekend and a bunch of fun things coming out on the blog starting next Friday. My to do list is getting so out of control that I can’t fit it in my MomAgenda, so I decided I needed a new list…one I could mark on and throw away. So instead of marking things off my ‘to do’ list I decided to make a cute one.

Supplies: Graph paper, glue, masking tape (the cuter the better), exacto knife, scissors, rub on stickers, clothepins

Step 1: Cut your paper to the size you want the list. Graph paper makes it easy because you just cut on the lines…

Step 2: Tap down paper so you have one end that is level

Step 3: Clamp paper using clothes pins

Step 4: Apply a thin amount of glue all over the edge

Step 5: Using an exacto knife trim any edges that stick out

Step 6: Wrap the end with masking tape, folding and cutting it so it is neat…kind of like wrapping the end of a present

Step 7: Apply your rub on stickers

My ironing board became my desk….which either means I am trying to do too much at one time or that if my computer processes pictures SO SLOW that I can iron a dress while I am waiting – I need a new computer. Steve Jobs…are you reading? Please send me a new laptop pronto.

Maybe if I stopped making cute ‘to do’ lists I could clear off the kitchen table so my son could eat in a chair instead of on the floor.

But he’d just drop cheerios on the floor and then I’d have to clear the table and sweep the floor. I’ll stick with 5 minute diy projects.

Happy Friday!
