Photo Magnets

I decided to be a little more creative with my gift-giving, so I made these cute little magnets for the "grandmas" for Mother's Day. They are quick, easy, and require very few supplies!

Here's what you need:

Some great photos shrunk down to 3/4" squares
5/8" circle punch
Clear 3/4" accent marbles that are flat on one side (usually found by the silk flowers)
Regular super glue
3/4" round magnets
Hot glue gun or other craft glue

Step 1 ~ Print photos and cut out with your circle punch






Step 2 ~ Apply two drops of super glue to the top of the picture. Place flat side of marble on top of picture and press for 3 seconds. Flip marble over.







Step 3 ~ When super glue is dry, apply magnets using hot glue gun or craft glue.
