Decorative Craft Magnets
The hardest part about making these cute magnets is trying to decide which design you want to go with. The rest is easy peasy! Kids, teens, and adults will all enjoy making a set or two of these DIY craft magnets. Create them so they are funky, glam, or elegant depending on your style! They make lovely gifts and are perfect for decorating lockers for back to school.
These charming DIY decorative craft magnets are an enjoyable and easy project for the whole family. You can personalize these round magnets in so many different ways.
Get started by gathering all of your supplies.
Rough-cut pieces of colored cardstock in 2-inch squares for the background of your magnet.
Customize and print name template; cut out names, trimming off excess on right and left sides if you have a short name. You can get it here. And attach to your colored card stock.
Apply Glass Bond on the flat side of a cabochon bead; cover the whole back with a thin layer - don’t blob it on but make sure you have enough to fill nooks and crannies of the bead. Glue the paper on and allow to dry 12 hours.
Snip the excess paper around the edges and glue on your magnet with hot glue. Allow to dry completely before using.

These look so fun to make! I see those clear flat glass rocks at The Dollar Tree all the time....I cannot wait to buy them and try your idea!
Jamela I do have printed card stock, but what do you think about me using pieces of Wallpaper from discontinued wallpaper sample books?
Thanks,
Elaine :)
