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:

  1. 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.
  2. Cut clip art out in a circle or oval.
  3. Use your finger or a small paintbrush to spread a thin layer of white craft glue on the back of the marble.
  4. Place clip art onto the back of the marble so that the picture can be seen through the front. Adjust and let dry.
  5. 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.
