Channeling My Inner Martha

When I read this post about making glass magnets over at my bloggy friend, Forever Daisies, I knew I had to try it! She is very crafty and always doing cute little projects. Me? Notsomuch. But, this looked like something even I could do!

I got all of the supplies I needed at Hobby Lobby, came home, and went to town. And guess what? It worked!

I.was.crafty. Who knew I had it in me?!

You need: scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, glass marbles, foam brush, and magnets.

Look at this scrapbook paper. I was in awe walking down the aisle. I don't scrapbook, which I think is a very good thing. I could have spent my life savings (all $40 of it) on paper alone. You know how much I love anything office-y and this paper was calling my name!

Put the marble on the paper over the design you want.

Trace and cut out.

Put a thin layer of Mod Podge on the back of the marble.

Place the paper (design side down-yes, I kept doing it wrong!) on the marble. Let it dry completely.

Once it's dry, place a thin layer of Mod Podge over the back of the marble to seal it. Let it dry.

Now for the magnets. I bought cheap craft roll magnet. It isn't quite strong enough to hold the marbles...all evening we heard them falling to the floor. I will make these again with stronger magnets. But for now...look how cute!
