Paying with Glass Magnets

"Pay it forward 2011. I promise to make something handmade for the first five people to comment. They must in turn post this and make something for the first five people to comment. *The rules are; it has to be handmade by you, and they must receive it in 2011.*" -Posted on FB, Jan. 5th 2011

Personalized Glass Magnets

what you'll need

-1/2"+ clear glass stones

-magnet sheets

-glue gun

-glue stick

-favorite photos

what to do

this is a simple and fun craft project that any one can work on. you can either start from scratch or purchase completed glass magnets at a craft store like michael's or even target.

step 1

if you purchased existing magnets like I did, take everything apart and clean the glue off.

step 2

after printing your favorite photos (can be printed onto the magnet sheets), cut to fit the glass beads.

step 3

this step isn't necessary if you printed your pictures onto a magnet sheet, otherwise, glue your picture onto the magnet.

step 4

now, using your glue gun, carefully apply glue to the center of the bead. once glue is applied, quickly paste picture to the bead. apply pressure to prevent air bubbles and other such annoyances.

step 5

put them on your refrigerator!

these magnets are quick to make and very budget friendly. great for personalized party favors!
