(Edit: a reader kindly pointed me to this post by Diary of a Quilter. I believe that is where I first read about this idea!)
Supplies:
Bowl with recessed bottom
Strong magnet (I found mine in a 3-pack at JoAnn Fabrics)
E6000 or other very strong glue
A close up of the bowl bottom:
First up, squeeze a nice size puddle of glue onto the bottom of the bowl:
Now smoosh the magnet into the glue:
Let the glue dry, turn the bowl over, and ta-da!
I found that this even works for plastic bowls! This one is for Addy:
The bottom of the plastic bowl:
I got a bit carried away with these, I was just so excited to find the right type of bowls at a local store. I'm going to give away 2 of these bowls to one of you!
Just leave me a comment below, and I will announce the winner on Friday, Sept. 9th.

That would be so much better than just throwing them on the kitchen table as I sew, and then trying to find them all later (without "finding" them by stepping on them!)
Love this idea! It is so cute and would be super easy to personalize for the decor of your craft space. If I don't win, I'm heading to Good Will to pick up a bowl :)
What a great idea! Love it!
