If you haven't made Marble Magnets before, they are way simpler than you may think.
The materials you need:
craft punch
glass marbles
scrapbook paper
scrapbook glue (Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accents)
Rare Earth Magnets
Super Glue
scrapbook paper
scrapbook glue (Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accents)
Rare Earth Magnets
Super Glue
Instructions:
1. First, I prefer to wash my marbles because they sometimes have a coat of dust.
2. Use a paper punch that is about the size of your marbles and punch the scrapbook paper.
(Sorry, I don't have photos for most of these steps)
3. Place 1 drop of your scrapbook glue on the paper circles that you punched out.
4. Place a (dry) marble on the paper & push down to work out any air bubbles.
5. I add an extra step of trimming loose paper ends from around the marble. A little time consuming, but they look much more finished.
6. Place 1 drop of super glue on each magnet.
I prefer the rare earth magnets because nothing bugs me more than a magnet that falls every time I try to hang something up. What's the purpose of a magnet that won't stick?
7. Take your completed glass marble w/ paper from step 4 & press it firmly on the magnet.
8. Let dry and you're done!
Here are a few coming soon to my etsy shop:
enJOY!
