I want to thank my friend Molly for showing me how to make these darling magnets. I've used the idea over and over again. Magnets are a fun little gift to give to your spouse to use in their office, or for relatives. This year I made magnets using pictures of my kids and packaged them in a little tin heart I recycled. I'll be giving them as a gift from the boys, to someone special with a note that says "I'm Stuck on You!" You can use any subject matter: food, pretty patterns, words, even X & O's for Valentines Day. Try using the same concept to create a unique one of a kind Tic-Tac-Toe game! Here's what you need:
- Large clear rocks (near the florist or candle department. These are from Michael's. Avoid using ones with an iridescent coating)
- Mod Podge Glue
- Paint Brush
- Pictures or Words from magazines or your home computer
- 3/4" round magnets
Cut words or pictures out of magazines, or print them from your home computer. Cut into small circles and glue paper on the flat side of a clear glass rock, using a clear drying glue like Mod Podge. (Make sure the side you want to see through the "bubble" is facing the glass.) Coat back side of the paper w/ another layer of glue, paying special attention to covering the edges of the paper with glue. Let dry, then apply a second coat of glue. Attach magnet to the back side of the rock immediately after applying second coat. Let dry completely.
