Bride and Groom Needle Minder, Cover Minder, Magnet

Recently I had a bride to be come to me with a request for a wedding/love themed magnet. She wanted to give them away in her little thank you bags at her wedding. I was able to find a magnet she liked and am having a fun time getting this together for her. Each magnet is individually wrapped and packaged in a small fabric bag. If this is something that interests you, please let me know. 

What is a Needle Minder? By definition a needle minder is a magnetic stitching accessory designed to help prevent your needle from getting lost when you need to take a short break from your stitching or as you are changing threads. They are generally used by artists who cross stitch or needle point. The stitcher will put the cute needle minder on the front of the fabric and use a second magnet on the back of the fabric to hold it in place. Then when they are done with their needle, they use the magnets to "mind" it.

I know people who attach their needle minders to their fabric, to their blouse or to something metal next to where they are stitching.

A cover minder is designed to help diamond painters to keep their cover out of their way while diamond painting. They also help keep your unpainted adhesive area safe from pet hair and dirt between drilling sessions by holding the cover in place, even on finished areas.

Decorative magnets can go anywhere you would put a magnet. On the refrigerator is the most popular place to put them. I have also had people stick them on their tool boxes, filing cabinets, and outside heavy duty metal doors.

I have also had some customers use them in plastic canvas and in quilting. These would only work with the larger magnets

Some ways these items should NOT be used are as a magnet that you would attach to your car or as a decoration for a phone case. They do not work well in either instance.

These items are considered a choking hazard.
