Magnet Maker


This fun and easy project makes a great gift. You can send a personal message in a useful item.
The only downside is that is made in two faces and we need to wait for the glue to dry.

Suggested Ages:
3 and up

Materials:
Card stock paper 110 gr
Flat Clear Marbles (1 1/2 inches)
Cryons, Sharpies, Color pencils
Elmer Glue
Magnets (3/4 inches)


Step 1
Draw a circle on your paper around the Marble so you can get the dimensions, make sure to leave 1/4 inches margin in your design so the edges won't look as good as the center of the magnet.

Step 2
Paint, write, or draw what you would like your magnet to look like, the space looks little but is good enough for a cute and creative message. 


Step 3
Cut the circles as precise as you can


Step 4
Set the marbles on a surface with the flat side facing up and put a Elmer's glue dot in the center.
Then you place your design and position it as your desire. You need to leave it for a couple of hours to dry out before you continue. Is better this way because you can get complete control con the product. 



Step 5
Once the paper is dry and stick to the marble you can repeat the process but now with the magnet.
Put a glue drop in the center of the paper and position the magnet.  Make sure to leave them on a safe place so the magnets won't move while they are drying. 



Enjoy the process and share the product!!
