Materials:
- sheet metal or a piece of wood painted with magnetic primer
- empty tin cans, label removed
- twine
- tags
- stamp (or just pretty handwriting)
- strong magnets
- strawberry plants and soil (herbs, wheat grass, moss or flowers would work well too)
- mini flag (made with a skewer and ribbon)
Instructions:
1. Paint the piece of wood with two coats of the magnetic primer and let dry.
2. Remove labels from tin cans and wash thoroughly and let dry.

  2. I love this idea! I might do this in my kitchen this year (I'm already married - we didn't do anything nearly as intense as this, we had customized bracelets in our wedding color, though!).
