Photo Magnets
Materials:
*Small pictures
*Large clear flat backed glass marbles
*Scissors
*Pen
*Mod Podge
*Paintbrush
*Magnetic backing
*Strong adhesive
Directions:
*Place flat backed glass marble on top of your picture and move it around until you can see the portion of the picture that you want to see through the marble
*Trace around the marble
*Cut out the picture
*Using your paintbrush, spread a very thin layer of Mod Podge across the back of the marble
*Place the picture on the back of the marble. Set aside to dry
*Once dry, glue a piece of magnetic backing to the back of the marble. Even if you have self-adhering magnetic backing, it may not be strong enough to support the weight of the marble
If you have a magnetic photo frame . . .
*Pick up some smaller clear flat backed glass marbles. Using the above procedure, create magnetic captions, images, and other decorations
