Marble Magnets Craft

DSC_0005

We made this craft at our last MOPS meeting- so easy and so cute- would be a great Christmas gift!

DIRECTIONS:

Use a hole punch the size of the circle magnet to punch out paper (3/4 inch worked for this project). You can use magazine pictures or wrapping paper for pictures or patterns, as well as scrapbook papers or stationary.

Use a toothpick to put silicon glue on the magnet and lay the picture on top of the glue. Using the toothpick again, dab a bit of glue onto the middle of the picture.

Lower the marble down onto the glue and press down in the center. You can see the glue spreading out to the corners, making a nice seamless magnet.


A couple ideas for making these for other projects: with a tin and some colored tape, you could make a tic-tac-toe travel board for kids, or put them in an old altoid box for a cute gift idea.
