Hung from a plant hook or the bottom of a kitchen cabinet, this message center will keep important notes, permission slips, and school announcements from getting trampled, stained, eaten by the dog, or just plain lost.
Materials
- 4-inch lightweight wooden box (available at craft stores)
- 2 equal lengths of ribbon
- Key ring
- Tack
- Wood glue
- Clothespins
- Small pad of paper and a pencil or pen
Instructions
- Paint a 4-inch lightweight wooden box and four wooden clothespins and allow them to dry.
- For a hanger, slide the ribbons through the key ring so that they are centered, then knot them together a little below the ring. Tack the four ribbon ends inside the box, one to each side.
- Use wood glue to secure the clothespins to the outside of the box for holding notes securely in place.
- Place a small pad of paper and a pencil or pen inside the box and hang it in your entryway or kitchen, where everyone in the family will see it daily.
