What is better than cheap? FREE! I didn’t spend a dime on these super cute photo magnets… everything was recycled- although I will break down a price just in case some of you don’t have all the supplies.
Recycled Photo Magnets
Supplies:
E-6000 glue (or other craft glue that bonds to metal)
strong magnets (I had some older magnets that I took apart for this) Hobby Lobby has a set of 16 for $1.99- there might be a 40% off there too
Photos (I used leftover Photo Christmas and birthday cards)
Frozen Juice Concentrate Lids (the metal ones)
other misc. items- ribbon, rhinestones, hot glue, scissors, (whatever you want to decorate with!)
So the total to make these is either FREE or around 2 bucks!
OK- let’s get started!
Lie the lid down on top of the picture- make sure you can’t see any faces sticking out- then trace around it with a pen.
Cut a couple of mm smaller than the outline… see pic below.
Make sure it fits- trim if needed then glue down with E-6000 glue.
Use the E-6000 to glue the magnet to the back.
Now decorate with ribbon- rhinestones ect. I just used the E-6000 for anything that touched metal… then used hot glue for everything else.
These turned out so cute! They look great on the fridge!
Happy Creating!
