Most of the fun in perusing the aisles of a thrift store is finding an item that has a stated use and using your creativity to make it something completely different. Nothing can get the imagination juices flowing like a trip through the home and garden section. I found some cedar wardrobe savers on a bottom rack and picked them up without a use in mind. Later I came up with these unique refrigerator magnets.  

Here’s how to make them.
