Magnetize...

You've gotta love a craft that's simple, fun, and useful. Here's one of our favorite things to make.

Picture Magnets!








Here's what you'll need:
clear glass decoration marbles with the flat bottom,
Mod Podge (or crafters glue),
paintbrush,
scissors,
cut-able magazines
and magnets (I like the kind that come in strips and have the adhesive on the back)


1: Place the glass marble on the picture you've chosen, and cut around it.



2: Using a paintbrush, spread a light layer of mod podge on the flat part of the marble



3: Put the picture (face side)on top of the mod podge, and press until air bubbles have disappeared.



4: Cut magnets to fit on the back of the picture. Peel off adhesive sticker (from magnet) and stick it on.

See? Easy!
Use baby, wedding and family photos to give away as gifts (although I must warn that real photos do smear on occasion.)

Have fun!
