My Finished project from Tuesday!

I finally got motivated and had a little time to finish my magnet project yesterday. I found out that the part that takes the longest is cutting out the pictures. I made about 3 dozen or so magnets in less than an hour combined. Here's what it looked like:

I already had lots of magazines and found the rest of what I needed at Hobby Lobby

Backs of the beads before I added the magnets

Be sure to only put hot glue on two or three at a time and then place magnets so your glue doesn't harden

Finished product...I ran out of magnets for the beads and it's so simple, I think I will make more!

Crafty Tuesday--Magnets

I haven't finished this craft yet, but I've started. This is an idea from Family Fun and it looks so cute and doesn't take much to make. You could do this with not only letters, but pictures or even shrunken photos, which I plan to try along with cool patterns and pictures cut from magazines. It would make a great gift idea with limitless possibilities....a family's name spelled out, favorite things, different themes, holidays, and on and on. I will post a pic of my own when I finish, but until then, craft on!
