Make Your Own Word Stones

Ohhh, I *so* want to do this! This warm weather we've been having has been making me think of spring and flowers and landscaping...But that aside, I was Googling "custom word magnets" to see if I could find a company that could print up some cottage-like words for my fridge. I discovered that I could just as easily do it on my computer using an ink jet printer and magnetic paper. The paper is kind of pricey - $10 for 3 sheets, but that's really a lot of words and probably cheaper than you could pay someone to do it!

So while doing that search, I came across the Magnetic Poetry site. They sell kits that allow you to make your own Word Stones. That just tickles me pink! The kit comes with reusable forms and letters, a trowel and little bucket, and enough concrete mix and stain to make one stone. You can buy more mix at your local hardware store and make as many stones as you like! They have four different kits available, but check out the Make Your Own Word Stones Kit. To get an idea of how easy it would be to create these sweet little custom stones, read or download the step-by-step instructions. The kit is 19.95...not too bad!
