Instructions:
Use warm and soapy water to clean the milk carton. Let dry completely.
Cut a rectangle from one side of the carton. Place the game pieces in the center, and stack the words “clean” and “dirty”. Mark the sides of the game pieces with a pen.
Cut the excess carton away leaving a ½-inch band from the pen marks.
Glue a strip of ribbon around the border of the carton from the pen marks to the edge.
Glue the words “clean” and “dirty” facing each other in the center rectangle so that the words read correctly no matter which way the magnet is flipped.

Put the magnet on your dishwasher and turn it with the appropriate word facing up.
