| These magnets are so easy to make and end up looking great!
You need:
Clear flat marbles, the kind you put in fishtanks (not irridescent)
white or silicone glue
scrap magazines
appropriately sized round magnets
Lay a marble over different small pictures, patterns, colors, words, whatever! in the magazine until you find something you like. Trace around the marble and cut out the picture. You'll have to trim the picture a little smaller than what you traced to make it fit nicely with no wrinkles. Spread a small amount of glue onto the flat side of the marble and press the picture onto it. Press hard, removing all air pockets. Let it dry. Then glue a magnet on the back and there you go! These are so quick and easy and can really look impressive. We are selling them in sets of six, where all 6 have some type of common theme. |
