Make your own magnets

As you know, I am organizing my craft room and making it more prettier! I am currently working on a magnet board to hang on the wall. ( I will post pictures soon) Since I will have a magnet board, of course I need magnets! Yesterday I went to the store, and found these big clear rocks. They are for decorating purposes but are perfect to make magnets! You can also make these to give as gifts! Here are the steps to make the magnets.

Materials Needed:

1in round paper punch
big clear rocks
scrapbook paper
glue gun
magnets

1. Using your paper punch, punch circles made out of different styles of paper.

2. Here you can see I punched several circles.

3. This could be the tricky step. Using your glue gun, put glue on the paper and position the rock on top. Put pressure so the glue can spread across the rock. Hold for about 5 seconds and pick up the rock. Its a tricky step because, if you use too much glue it will just be kind of messy. If you use to little glue, there wont be enough spread across the entire rock. You just need the right amount of glue. You will figure it out once you do a couple. I did this step on my piece of tile because the glue doesn't ruin your tile. Its easy to clean!

4. Last step is to glue a piece of magnet on the back and they are ready to use!

Here is the final project! They turned out really cute! I know they will look cute on my magnet board! Please leave your comments! If you have done this before, I would love to see them!
