Hello all-
Since I posted this post about my magnet board, I've had a few questions about how to make the super-easy glass magnets.
They only take a few minutes and you can make them with ANY cute paper you want. Also, a great way to use those adorable scraps you just can't bear to part with.Here's how:


Mine are pretty big and not perfectly semetrical, so start by rough tracing around the bottom of each. Don't worry about it being perfect (trust me, i'm OCD too)......you can trim it later.

Then, get your handy dandy bottle of Diamond glaze and put 2-3 drops......seriously you don't need much.......in the middle of the paper and put your glass pebble down and PRESS. A little glue will squish out, but just wipe it away.
Let it dry and then use your craft knife to trim off the excess.
After, I smoothed a thin layer of Diamond Glaze.....just to seal the paper.
Once that's dry, use E6000 to glue your magnet on (I llooooovvveee these awesome super-strong magnets....you can get them for a great price on Etsy).Then,
Ta Da!!


Cute magnets!!I used "Very Berry" paper from K & Co. since these are for my girls' magnet board.
Have Fun!




These are super cute and simple to make but I really wanted to thank you for the tut on the "fake make" you posted on August 28. I made my little girl a "make up" set yesterday and can't wait to see her reaction. Thanks a lot!

ReplyDeleteNatalie,
Way cute! So where on etsy do you get your magnets and where do you get your glass gems? I am SO making a magnet board for my girls' room! :)
ReplyDeleteThat paper is soooooo CA-UTE! I love making these, but never seemed to have magnets strong enough to hold them up... Thanks for the tip! :)
ReplyDeleteOK, So i somehow found your blog while blog hopping and have spent the last 1 1/2 hours at work no less looking at your posts all the way back to April. All I can say is WOW. I am now following and have put you on my desktop at work so I can check you regularly.
ReplyDeleteIt was the pumpkins that caught my eye so I will definetly be creating my own. My kids will love them.

ReplyDeleteGreat blog... Will be back!!
Who is your etsy supplier for the magnets if I may ask?
ReplyDeleteAnd do you think these would work with photographs or would I have to get the color copied? Pint on home printer on reg paper?? Hmmm
I love these! Thank you for sharing! So easy!
ReplyDeleteDeanna-
ReplyDeleteI got my stuff from "Scrabble Dabble Doo" on Etsy, they have great prices and even sell large quantities. Also, I'm sure photos would work perfectly as well, but probably not on regular paper....the ink would run once you used glue on it.
Wow, these are so cute! What kind of magnet do you use?
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
Carrie~
ReplyDeleteThey are called neodymium magnets and i originally got them from Scrabble Dabble Doo on Etsy, but they have closed.....so you can now go to Sun and Moon Crafts on Etsy and find them. I used the 1/2" size.
i made some of these and posted them on my blog :).. please check em out!
