Easy Magnet Tutorial #1

I'm always looking for easy ways to reuse old things, so when I finally used all of the sheets of paper on my magnetic notepad...I got a little excited.
Plus, I just got some really lovely vintage children's books that I was itching to use.

This is a great craft to do if you don't have much free time to craft in your life, but you would like to.  It would also be a fun activity to do with elementary children.

Simple Magnet Tutorial #1

Supplies:

• Paper (from a book, magazine, wrapping paper...whatev's.  Just not something printed from your computer, because it will smear and look all kinds of horrible.)
• Scissors/exact-o knife
• Pencil
• Magnet
• Mod Podge
• Paint Brush
• Self-healing Mat (Optional...you should use it if you're using an exact-o knife.)

Directions:

1. Once you have found a picture that you like place your magnet over the image, trace it with your pencil.
2. Cut out the image with your scissors or exact-o knife.
3. Apply a layer of Mod Podge to your magnet with your paint brush.
4. Place the picture on top the wet Mod Podge, and add a layer of Mod Podge over the picture.
5. Allow at least 20 mins. for the Mod Podge to dry, and add another layer.
6. Wait a half hour before putting it on your refrigerator.  
7. Good job, you're done!
