Getting Started

E'er since I found these groovy packs of coastal/nautical theme scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby I knew I wanted to brand some magnets for the fridge.

I already had all the supplies on manus except the marble accents. I found those at JoAnns for $6.00 a pack. Of course I used my "Handy Dandy" 40% off coupon!! A couple days later I did end by the Dollar Tree and saw they have smaller packs there too.

I was super excited to get started on my DIY magnets!

Step i – Punch Out Circles

I have a couple circle punches left over from my scrapbooking days. So I had a circle dial that fit perfectly.

But my 2d selection if the circle punch didn't work was to trace out the circle with one of the drinking glass pieces and cut out. SO, you lot don't necessarily need a dial for this pace.

Pace ii – Add Circles

At present it'due south time to add together our scrapbook paper. YAY!!

I painted on a piddling Modernistic Podge to the back of the drinking glass pieces and gently placed my scrapbook paper on summit. I made sure to smoothen down with my fingers to keep any air bubbles from popping up.

Stride 3 – Seal in Circles

Side by side I added a little Mod Podge to the backs of my DIY magnets and allow dry out 20 minutes.

Step 4 – Add Magnet

Finally it'due south fourth dimension to add the magnets! I found this pack of magnets at WalMart about two years ago. I needed them to hang my son's task chart upwards on the fridge. They are pretty awesome! Only add together a dab of Due east-6000 glue to the back and and so firmly press on your magnet.

My son thought they looked like giant googly eyes.

Finishing Touches

Now but let your magnets dry for about three hours then you're prepare to start using them!!

These nautical Modernistic Podge magnets are not bad. I can first displaying my kids artwork or important papers I get from their school. Plus they are pretty heavy duty and can hold several pieces of paper. I hate getting magnets that can only hold one or 2 pieces of paper.
