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!!
