Making Storybook Magnets


Making fun magnets can get a little addictive! I'm always needing more magnets to hang my daughters endless amounts of art work, I love having them.

Lets Get Started!

Items you will need:
Storybook
E-600 glue
Clear Glass Gems (round on one side and flat on the other)
Scissors
Magnets (I like the thick magnet that matches the size of the glass gem) 

1.  Find a book you wont mind cutting up, (you can always use a magazine or thrift store book). Make sure the pictures are small enough to fit the size of the glass gems.
2.  Cut out the pages you are going to use for your magnets.
3.  Start gluing the glass gems onto the pictures you have chosen.

 4.  Wait for about an hour and let them dry really well.
5.  When they are dry, cut them out. 
6.  Glue the glass gem with the picture on it, to the wrong side of the magnet. (make sure you have figured out which side of the magnetsticks to the fridge.)
7. Let dry over night and you are done!
