Magnet Project

The original inspiration for the magnets...

I found this post on craftgawker.com. I was excited to find an easy project as I was helping plan a bridal shower for a friend's wedding. When I saw these, I decided this would be a great idea for a prize for games we were playing. I found the glass marbles at the Dollar Tree (a whole bag for only $1!). I had some vintage floral paper laying around at home as well as brightly-patterned scrapbook paper. My friend loves bright colors, so I made some of each.

I followed the tutorial almost exactly. I used a different brand of glue, but it sounded about the same. I also decided to hot glue the magnets to the back instead of super glue. I made sets of four. I'm not sure why, but I guess I just figured four sounded like a good number. When I was finished, I wrapped them in a circle of tulle. I gathered it and cinched it together with a ribbon.

And the finished project...
