I made these cute photo magnets for my mom. I had saved some of these frozen juice can tops, (I know why am I saving such things) but... I did come up with a few fun ways to use these tops.
Here are the steps to make the photo magnets:
First, digi scrap the circle with a photo, (I used papers from the Modish Boy kit and Bella Kit at Shabby Princess)-but you could use regular scrapbook paper and a photo.
Second, print and cut out the circles. I then inked the edges a bit.
Third, Mod Podge the circles on the metal top. Let dry.
And... you have an adorable magnet with a picture of your little one!
*Make one for each of your children with a photo of just them. Use this special magnet to display their artwork that they bring home!! I will be making these for my kiddos sometime soon.
*Also, you could save these juice can tops, and use them instead of the chipboard squares in my photo memory game.

What a great idea...and a great craft for the kids to do, too! We're definitely going to try these!
ReplyDeleteReally cute idea! One that I'll have to try.
ReplyDeleteI save things like that too, then throw them out just before I find a super good use for them. Those are darling. Thank you for such a simple and darling idea!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your photo magnets! I'll be featuring!
ReplyDeleteI made some christmas tree ornaments with a full family photo for all my siblings and their families. I also made them a fridge magnet. Instead of the ceramic magnet I used those rectangular business card magnets that come free on the phone book or all sorts of other places. I just cut them into squares to fit on the back of the circles and used e6000 to glue them on. The magnet sits nice and flush on the fridge. Also, I didn't have frozen juice lids but I used wide mouth mason jar lids and a 2" circle punch. Very cute :)
ReplyDeletewhat a fun idea, jamie! you always have the best ideas. you should teach a class on this.

What a great idea! Cute site!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be kidding me? Fantastic! Genius. Darling. I'm gonna give it a go for my Mom. She loves putting photos on her fridge, but it always looks so cluttered. This way, it'll at least look cohesive & she'll adore it!
ReplyDeleteI love juice can lids, and have used them on some of my favorite projects. The memory game was next, lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat magnets!
