Magnet Mania

I must admit that my magnet addiction consumed me Friday night. After my plea in the last magnet post, I stumbled upon 1.25" flat glass marble magnets at JoAnn's- I was tickled pink! I purchased a couple new pieces of scrapbook paper and was on may way to making BIG magnets! In a night's time I made six sets, each set consisting of one large magnet and three 3/4" magnets.


I also felt the need to rearrange and update my refrigerator with my new magnets...

Ooh La La...

The magnets have dried, and been photographed for your viewing pleasure (the blue flower on the green background is my favorite)!



I also picked up some wedding favor bags/boxes, trimming off the goofy handles and adding a quick personal touch to the front, resulting in a semi-perfect package for the magnets (between you and me it drives me crazy that the magnets can't lay perfectly and separately in two rows within the bag/box!). With that being said, I'm on a hunt for cute and cost effective metal tins- which will definitely allow the magnets to lay perfectly and separately in two rows! :)

Glass Marble Magnets

I've been on the hunt for a new craft since my return home from vacation on Saturday. With the help of this great tutorial, I went to Michael's Craft Store with my shopping list for the items below (5/8" circle punch, 1/2" to 3/4" flat glass marbles, 1/2" magnets, E-6000 glue, glue stick, scrapbook paper).

To date I've made six magnets to complement a birthday gift, from the scrapbook paper below (they are drying as I type, thus I've not yet been able to photograph the results); and plan on making many more as my refrigerator is in need of a magnet makeover! Note- it was a bit difficult finding paper with small enough graphics to work behind the 1/2" to 3/4" flat glass marbles. I know that larger flat glass marbles are available (1" and larger), however have not been able to find them locally, thus if anyone spots any please let me know!
