DIY: Coin Magnets

We all buy souvenirs when traveling but it is also nearly impossible to not come home with a pocket full of change that just sits in a jar or drawer. So, after too many hours browsing on Pinterest I found a great solution to the problem. Turn all those coins into magnets! Not only is this a great way to display all your world travels but it is also the easiest DIY ever.

What You Need
A pocket full of change
Small magnets (I found ones that even had adhesive already on them)

What To Do

1. After you have picked out what change you want to display simply glue the magnet on to the center of the back of each coin, press in place and you are done! DIY really can't get easier than this!

Along with the majority of the female population I love shoes, this should come as no surprise to anyone.  Its a dream of mine to learn how to properly hand sew a pair of leather shoes. I'll admit I have googled it, I've watch most you tube videos that exist about shoe cobbling, I've definitely torn apart shoes to see how they are made, I've even taken the outer sole from one pair and attached them to another.  Someday I'll go to Italy, Brazil maybe Vietnam and find a little old man to teach me how to make shoes. 

I was so excited to stumble upon article on Sacramento Street about Megan Papay and Cristina Palomo the two beautiful stylish women behind Freda Salvador.   I think they might me my new idols.   See below for a few photos of their amazing shoes and work space (that vintage Eames looking chair is to die for.)  Or to read the full article about their hand sewn shoes made in family owned factories in El Salvador click here. 

You can find Freda Salvador at  La Boutique  in San Francisco, Saks and online at ShopBop
