Handmade Glass Magnets

We got the basic idea when we came across the Cocktail Mom Blog.  Gretchen, the cocktail mom,  is super cute and has an inspiring blog about her life and being creative.  We changed a few minor details in our magnet project but the basic ideas are the same.

The total cost of this project for over 100 magnet was $45 and we purchased all the materials needed for this project at Createforless.com and Michaels.  We obviously still have glue to use for the next round of magnets which will lessen our cost!

WARNING!  This is an addictive project.  You will want to make hundreds!

Materials:

• Flat Glass Gems -  We used the Panacea Decorative Glass Jumbo Gems. There are many sizes to choose from we chose largest we could find at approximately 1.5 inches wide.  We think these larger ones are easier to see and provide more color on the fridge compared to the smaller sizes.
• Hole punch-  We used a 1.5" scrapbooking hole punch found in the scrap booking section at Michael's
• Glue - We used 2 different kinds.   Elmer's Craft Bond for gluing the image to the glass and Sticky Ass Glue that was, at the time, on sale at createforless.com  but any heavy duty glue will work to bond the magnet to the back.
• Magnets - The Magnet Source 3/4" ceramic magnets.  They come 8 to a package.
• Paper - We happened to be at Ikea when they were having a sale on their "Beloved Homes!" book  for 99 cents.  There were some great images in this 240 page book that we simply hole punched out.  We also used some artsy scrap booking paper I had on hand that turned out to make very nice looking magnets.
• Cutting Board
• X-Acto knife
• Fridge to display!

Steps:

1. Hole punch images, colors, patterns of paper you enjoy looking at.
2. Glue image to glass using craft bond glue.  Make sure you get all the air bubbles out.
3. Let Dry
4. Glue Magnet to back of magnet.   If your images are very light or made with a thin paper it is possible you will see the magnet through the image.  
5. Let Dry  IMPORTANT!: Space out your magnets as they are drying.  Our magnets were strong enough to move towards each other and it would dry half on the marble and half off.  They are strong little boogers.
6. Use your X-acto knife to cut off extra paper that might be hanging over the edge.
7. Enjoy!
8. Wrapping, we thought that an Altoids tin would be a fun container.  There are many ways to decorate them.
