The finished Valentine Heart Magnets

Valentine Heart Magnets


  • Author: Marie Bostwick

Ingredients

• Clear glass heart magnets (clear glass on top section, magnets with adhesive on the lower section)
• Colorful fabric or paper scraps (must be smooth, without bumps, nap, or raised patterns)
• Scissors (use paper scissors for paper, fabric scissors for fabric_
• ModPodge
• Paint brush (crafting or foam variety)
• Drop cloth or paper to protect the worksurface
• Optional box for presentation and storage of finished magnets


Instructions

  1. Cover work surface with paper or drop cloth to protect against spills. Assemble materials.
  2. Peel paper off the back of a magnet and press it onto the wrong side of paper for fabric (so the pretty side is showing).
    Trim away any excess paper or fabric, cutting as close to the edge of the magnet as possible.
  3. Paint a thin, even coat of ModPodge onto the paper or fabric covered surface of the heart. Place the coated magnet on the table, fabric or paper side up. Center a glass heart over the magnet and press down gently, sticking the two pieces together.
  4. Allow finished magnets to dry. (Don’t worry if they look cloudy at first, they will become clear as the ModPodge dries.)
