Celestial Moth Magnet

I’ve once again been inspired by the Nerd Games to create a craft that wouldn’t exist without them.

As part of the Summer Camp Arts & Crafts Club, members received a cookie cutter to craft with. I thought it would make for a perfect frame and came up with this idea. The cookie cutter is metal, so I covered the outside with a black satin ribbon that I’d purchased earlier thisvsummer for a different project (it was nice because I happened to have all the supplies on hand when I went to make this moth magnet!). Thankfully, the ribbon was the exact width needed to cover the metal. I left the inside edge of the cookie cutter as bare metal.

There’s about a quarter inch of space between the night sky and the shimmery blue cardstock on the back, which was perfect for hiding the two small magnets that I added.

What a cool and original take on the challenge! I love your celestial moth. The colors are fantastic and the night scene a perfect complement. Plus, the moth sitting on the frame gives it a ton of dimension. Lovely job!

This moth is magical. And it looks perfect on the frame of the background night sky.
I keep scrolling back up to look at it :slightly_smiling_face:

Ooh!! What a pretty magnet! It’s lovely seeing magnets made out of unconventional stuff. I love the different textures and the colors you choose.
