74. Marble Magnets



MATERIALS
    Decorative papers, such as wallpaper, wrapping paper, or magazine cutouts
    Paper punch (1 1/2 and 3/4 inches)
    Flattened glass marbles
    Sobo glue or clear silicone adhesive
    Super glue
    Magnets
    Scissors (optional)
    Pencil (optional)


INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Using a paper punch, cut out decorative paper rounds. Since the marbles are irregularly shaped, you may have to trim the rounds to match. You can also trace the glass marble onto the paper using a pencil and cut out the shape.

  2. Using Sobo glue (or clear silicone adhesive), affix the printed side of the paper to a glass marble. Let the glue dry, and press out any bubbles.

  3. Using super glue, affix a magnet to the back of the paper. Let dry a few hours before using. Packaged in small boxes or tins, the magnets make wonderful gifts.


  4. Package the magnets in a recycled tin (like an altoids tin) for gifting
