It’s that time again!
I’m going show you how to make some stuff from my last giveaway 😀
Bubble Magnets
They were so fun and easy to put together, and make PERFECT Christmas gifts.
What you’ll need:
-
print out of your images (or fun scrapbook paper, etc)
-
clear glass gems (found in the floral section of the craft store)
-
magnets
-
hot glue gun and sticks
-
Mod Podge
-
small paint brush
-
scissors
STEP ONE: Print out your images. I found these insect images from The Graphics Fairy.

STEP TWO: Hold your image up to one of the glass pieces and cut around the glass.

STEP THREE: Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the front of your image. Then, apply to the flat side of the glass piece. It will look foggy at first, but will dry clear. Let them dry a bit before starting the next step.
STEP FOUR: Apply a good amount of hot glue to the back of your magnet and place on the back of your glass piece.
Bing, bang, boom… you’re done!
Enjoy!

That is genius! What a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I am a new FB fan from Creations by Kara. Vicky from Mess For Less
I was thinking about doing something like this. i love that you have used bug images it makes it look like they are perserved inside if you know what i mean. Xxx
These are so sweet, and I love the images you chose! I'll have to try some myself =)
Popped over from Remodelaholic and I think these would be great to make with my granddaughters. THe problem will be to decide what to use for the pitures. I love the bugs.
Awesome tutorial and so easy! Perfect for Christmas presents.
I've been casually looking for these "kits" at craft stores when I go looking for other things. I never knew these were done like this! Thanks for sharing!
Funny I came across this today. I am making lap desks for Christmas gifts, and I wanted to make some magnets for them. Thanks for sharing this!
Great idea! I am definitely doing this. You could do this with different holidays and bring them out when you change your decorations.
these are so fun! I can't wait to try this!
I would love for you to come and link this up to our Christmas blog hop!

I'm a little confused. Does the mod podge act as a glue for gluing the picture to the back of the glass piece? I think beach scenes would look good underneath blue glass beads. Use them at the office to day dream every once in a while.
I love these homemade personalized magnets! So glad you linked up with us!
