Family Fridge Magnets

By Bethany Booth

Show dad how much you appreciate his magnetic personality by making him a set of unique marble magnets to smile at him from the fridge, the filing cabinet, or his toolbox.

Personalized marble magnets are simple, inexpensive, and creative. It won�t take much to create a memorable father�s day gift for dad this year. Make the gift set complete by making a magnet using the faces of everyone in your family, even the pets!

What you'll need:

Photographs of family members

Flat backed clear marbles

Round magnets (3/4 inch thick)

White craft glue

Scissors

How to make it:

1. Search through family photos looking for any happy little faces that might fit the size of the marble. Place the marble onto the photo to gauge size. This is a great way to use up any unframed snapshots floating around the house.

2. Once you have decided on a photo, place marble over face and trace around with a pen.

3. Cut the face out inside the trace line.

4. Use your finger to smear a thin layer of white glue onto the flat back of the marble.

5. Press the marble gently down onto the cut out photo face. Let dry.

6. Glue a magnet to the back and let dry.

Tips:
Small mint tins can be painted or decorated to make a perfect little gift box to wrap your family magnet set.

If you don�t want to cut up photos, let the kids draw faces on white paper using crayons or colored pencils (markers may run with the glue). Or cut out dad�s favorite comic character from a magazine or newspaper.

Happy Father�s Day!
