Our lovely museum style fridge magnets are back - and this time they are all handmade by us in our little workshop! This one features our classic picture-poem called "sleepytimes" with a wee picsee asleep on top of a stack of books and some words to remind us to always read a story before bedtime.
And as we mentioned afore, each one is handmade by us...we start by laminating the artwork to keep it nice and shiny for years to come. Once that is done, we carefully cut a piece of cardboard (which is made from recycled paper) to size. Then, using our trusty wooden paper folder, an age-old technique for making hardcover books, and a wee bit of patience, we cover the board with the laminated artwork and put it in a press for an hour or two. Finally, we cut a piece of sheet magnet to fit the newly covered board and glue it to the back before putting them back into the press and leaving them overnight to make sure everything is glued down and perfectly in place.
Oh, and those of you who like to collect magnets (or own some of the ones we sold a few years ago) will be happy to know that we made them the same shape and size as the magnets that you find in museums and galleries around the world, which means these ones will fit right in with your current collection ~:)
And as is true with everything in our wee webshop, the picture-poem that adorns this magnet is an original artwork created by us, so by buying it, you are not only getting a lovely little magnet, but you are also directly supporting art and helping us to keep making more ~:)

This listing is for a handmade rectangular fridge magnet. It is a flat-surfaced magnet similar to those found in museum shops around the world. The artwork is covered with a thin laminated sheet to keep it protected and the front can be carefully wiped with a damp cloth. They are made to decorate, but the magnet itself is a decent strength and will have no problem keeping a standard sheet of paper fixed to a metal surface like a refrigerator's door.
A note about handmade
These fridge magnets are individually made by hand in our little studio, and as is the nature with all handmade items, each one may differ ever so slightly from the next and the sizes may vary a little. All of these variations are minor, and we make sure that every magnet is perfect in its own unique way.
