Time for a new project, don't you think? I knew there was a reason I'd been hoarding security envelopes for a year. Just needed a little inspiration to figure out what to craft with these graphic beauties. My home office has metal walls and perpetually messy to-do stacks, so I'm shocked it took me so long to invent this magnetic organizing solution!

Labeled magnets punched from envelopes can help organize your office.Labeled magnets punched from envelopes can help organize your office.

Use a 1-inch circle cutter (found in the scrapbook aisle of the craft store) to punch patterned envelopes. Punch some lightweight cardboard circles as well for backing (I used a toothpaste box). Write on the envelope circles in red marker, then fuse them onto the cardboard circles with white glue. Let them dry under a book. Hot glue magnets onto the cardboard backs. 

Save your scraps -- envelopes also make great gift tags.Save your scraps -- envelopes also make great gift tags.
