Magnets
January 22nd, 2010
Here is another Christmas craft I did- homemade magnets. I did this bug set for Erin (minus a couple that I need to redo because Peyton tried to suck them apart). It is such a simple, fun craft! Just get those glass half-marbles usually used for the bottom of a vase, get some cool paper, and some magnets. Cut the paper to fit the glass, glue it on, and then glue the magnets on! It was also suggested you can make them with real photographs, but I am not sure how this would look as the glass magnifies the picture in sometimes disproportionate ways. I made 3 large with 3 small, and they fit perfectly into an empty Altoids tin.

Very cute Krista! I bought some of these off of Etsy a couple of years ago, but now I’m inspired to make some myself!
I’m curious, how much did they sell them for? I was thinking of selling them on Etsy but am not sure what to charge.
I was planning on making some sort of magnet sets for some gifts next year! And this sounds quite a bit easier (and every bit as cute - or cuter!) than what I was thinking. Thanks for the inspiration.
I was at Jo-Ann’s yesterday buying a grapevine wreath to decorate for above my woodstove, and lo & behold there were bags *right there* of these awesome little stones. I will use my next 40% off coupon to buy a bag to keep on hand.
