Day 5- Marbel Magnets

This craft is from Thefrugalgirls.com

What You’ll Need:

  • Mod Podge {I used Glossy}
  • Small, Strong Round Magnets
  • Flat Glass Marbles {I found small ones at Hobby Lobby & larger ones at JoAnn’s ~ near the silk flowers}
  • Sponge applicator brush
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Small Pictures {cut out from magazines or scrapbook paper}

What You’ll Do:

  • Find small pictures that you would like to use for your magnets. Bright pictures with vivid colors work great! I used pictures cut out from free and cheap magazines and from scrapbook paper scraps. {tip: photos and stickers don’t work well for this project ~ just trust me} ;)
  • Place marble over picture to visualize what it will look like. Trace around marble, then cut out picture… just a smidge inside the traced line.
  • Apply a small amount of Mod Podge to the back {flat} side of the marble piece…

  • Place marble piece on top of the picture, and press down. Don’t worry ~ the Mod Podge will dry clear.
  • Set aside, and allow to dry.

  • Once the picture has dried, attach magnet to the back using hot glue {make sure to use the hot setting on your glue gun}…

  • There you have it ~ wasn’t that so easy??
  • Have fun choosing pictures, styles, sizes, and designs!
  • Here are some that I made with large marbles…

  • These Marble Magnets were so simple and fun to make, I actually made a bunch! And yes… that is ‘Jaws’ in the corner there!
  • Save some for yourself, and give some as thrifty gifts!!
