Dollar Find Friday (magnets) & Give Away!

My back isn't feeling any better, in fact I'm pretty sure it's worse. When I'm standing up "straight" I look like I'm leaning to the left lol. This has been happening a few times a year since I was 17. It's getting pretty old now... I'm only 25 for pete's sake!

Anyways, on to today's project. I got this idea from my wonderful SU demo last year. I "borrowed" one of the girls' flat magnets from the fridge for this. I'm horrible right? But you gotta do what you gotta do for crafts! ;)



Supplies-
Large flat marbles ($1 at Dollar Tree)
Flat magnet (strong enough to hold up the marble)
1 1/8 Circle punch
Designer paper










Step 1- Punch circle in designer paper



















Step 2- I used a thin layer of Aileen's Tacky glue on the back of the marble to glue on the circle punch.


















Step 3- Cut out a piece of magnet large enough to fit on the back of the marble.
















Step 4- I used red Sticky tape to adhere the magnet to the back of the marble.


















Finished product holding up a picture that Kylie (my 5 yr old) drew for her daddy yesterday all by herself.

These magnets are such a pretty way to decorate your fridge. Along with this project of course!









BONUS IDEAS-
*To give this card as a gift, just add a piece of magnet in between the layers of your card and stick the magnet to the front of your card!
*You can also stamp an image of your choice to make custom magnets.


**GIVE AWAY**
