finished magnetI love projects that use items that would otherwise be thrown away. I also love magnets and pictures of my babies. This wraps all 3 into 1 fun little project. It's useful too!

These are so easy that even kids can make them as gifts for their grandparents. Who wouldn't love that?

Total Time: 20 minutes?

Yield: 1 magnet

Supplies:

  • 1 clean jar lid
  • 1 photograph
  • Mod Podge
  • glue gun
  • flat back gems
  • magnet
  • pen
  • scissors
  • ribbon, optional
Jar Lid Magnet
 

Steps:

  1. Using any size lid you want, place it over your photo and draw around the outside with a pen.

  3. Cut your photo out, remembering to cut more inside the lines than you normally would. It's got to be a little smaller to fit.
  4. Put a nice thick layer of glue on the inside of your lid.

  8. Start hot gluing your gems. Anything would do, faux pearls, beads, or tiny shells.

  10. See? I decided to leave off any ribbon. The gems gave it enough bling. :)
