Glass magnets

Fun creative craft which doesn’t take much time

Material

several glass pebbles
1 roll or sheet of self-adhesive magnet
1 circle hole punch, the size of the base of the pebbles
assortment plain and/or patterned paper
assortment nail polishes and/or craft paint
assortment permanent markers
1 glue suitable for adhering paper to glass

Method

To make each magnet, decorate the underside of a glass pebble. Some suggestions for decorating are:
punch a circle of pretty paper and glue to the bottom of the pebble (2nd pebble from the right)
using nail polish (3rd from left), paint (3rd from right) or markers (2nd from left), draw a design on either the base or top of the pebble. Glue a punched circle of white paper to the base.
draw a design on a punched circle of paper and glue to the bottom of the pebble
Once the pebble is decorated, cut a piece of self-adhesive magnet to fit and stick it to the base.

Notes

My daughter chose this activity to do at her birthday party and it was a hit.

What a great idea for the glass pebbles. I used to collect them from time zone when younger and used them as gems but this is a nice way to keep them around AND have them be practical

cute! You could make alphabet or number ones, or use the coloured magnets to make patterns.
