Celebrate summer with these adorable and very easy to make magnets. Use your favorite clip art to make these fun (and addictive!) magnets.
What you'll need:
- Clear, flat-backed marbles
- Clip art printed to fit marbles
- Round magnets
- Hot glue gun
- White craft glue
- Scissors
How to make it:
- Choose clip art you want to use. Print off a sample in black and white first to see if the size will work. It should fit on the back of the marble. Adjust size to fit. Then, print in color.
- Cut clip art out in a circle or oval.
- Use your finger or a small paintbrush to spread a thin layer of white craft glue on the back of the marble.
- Place clip art onto the back of the marble so that the picture can be seen through the front. Adjust and let dry.
- Hot glue a small round magnet to the back of the marble.
Tips:
- Flat-backed marbles can be found in the floral department of your local craft store.
- Make sure the layer of white glue is thin enough for the clip art image to show through.
- Choose clip art for whatever theme you like. These are so easy and fun to make you can adjust for any holiday or occasion!
- If you don’t have round magnets, you can use cut up sheet magnets. However, the round magnets are stronger and heavier.
