Marble Magnets

Last night was craft night! I try to pick crafts for this weekly event that aren't too pricey, and can be completed in only a few hours (while watching a movie and eating popcorn and Junior Mints). This week's project was culled from one of my favorite blogs, How About Orange.

Here's what we used:



I used scraps of craft paper I had left over from other projects, but really any paper would work. And here's a tip: get the marbles from the floral section, not the mosaic section, of your local craft store. You'll get about 5 times more marbles, for the same price.

This project really couldn't be easier. Cut out your paper to the size of the magnet (not the marble), and glue it to the marble. I used a generous amount of Tacky Glue. Whatever you're using, make sure it dries clear. And check on your marbles throughout the process, as they tend to slip around before the glue sets.

Once that's dry, glue the paper side of the marble to the magnet. Allow that to dry thoroughly, and you're done!
