{Photo Magnets}


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 last, add a magnet to the back with hot glue.
And... you have an adorable magnet with a picture of your little one!

I also thought of other ideas:
*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.

  5. I 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!

  7. I 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 :)

  11. You'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!
