DIY Petite Polaroid Magnets

Ready for a serious cuteness overload? The latest Fashionlush x F21 DIY collab ft. polaroids is one for the books, & your bookmarks bar- trust.

You can find all of the do it yourself dirty deets over at the Forever 21 blog, but before you do that… lemme give you guys a lil’ backstory re. this here project.

Warning: it’s about get a lil’ weird.

Let’s flashback to when I was 10 years old & some of my hobbies included:

+ Walking my guinea pig, Moesha (remember that show?!), through the neighborhood. I promise you, she did like it!!

+ Only wearing high top Converse & overalls, which isn’t really a hobby… but it was a defining quality, so I am sharing.

+ Listening to hardcore rap, w/ thanks to my older sister. My parents weren’t pleased.

+ Taking Polaroid pictures of anything and everything, especially Moesha (yes, this one just dated me).

+ Reading books about Elvis & collecting various Elvis memorabilia (pre-drug days). I bet you didn’t know he was born with a twin named Jessie, huh? #FUNFACT

+ & also collecting fridge magnets.

Told ya it’d get weird, cause let’s get real, I was weird. In all honesty though, little has changed from then to now…

…I replaced Moesha w/ Bitzy, I still love rocking Converse & overalls, when driving solo I definitely bump the throwback rap on full blast, I’m never w/o my FujiFilm Instax mini, I may or may not have Elvis barbies in my closet (so embarrassing), & over the years my magnet collection has become quite impressive.

So, now that you have some history on the situation, I am hoping it makes more sense to why I am getting all nostalgic. This project includes three of my all time favorite things from the past to the present: Polaroids, magnets, and (this one developed later in life) disproportionately small things.

It’s just too good & too damn cute.

Stick ’em all of over your fridge, use them as wedding save the dates, include them in a baby shower game, decorate your cubicle and/or locker. The options are endless, but whatever you do with them, I can guarantee you’re friends are gonna beg you to make some for them. My tip to you- make doubles!

Happy crafting my DIY lushes & remember- all the how to instructions for this DIY can be found at the F21 blog.
