DIY: glitter magnets!

i considered today my last day of spring break (even though i really have 3 days left) because we’re going to vermont tomorrow morning till sunday. so, i stayed in bed until noon and when i finally got out i did a million billion dishes, made apple sauce, and baked a couple of breads so i’ll have things to eat for lunch next week. i also watched like 8 episodes of mad men… i really love spring break. 

ANYWAY! i didn’t want the day to end without doing something crafty so, i followed this tutorial and made some glitter magnets! they were super easy and it was SO FUN finally using some of my fancy, super fine martha stewart glitter (which i bought on sale at joann fabrics last week!) 

MATERIALS: round magnets, glitter (i used super fine but i’m sure regular glitter would work too!), tacky glue, a metal tray, a damp hand towel (for wiping your fingers in between magnets)

1. prepare your materials, open your packs of magnets, and choose your glitter colors. pour some glue into a small container (i used a silicone pinch bowl)
2. pour a bit of glitter out onto individual slips of paper (this way you can easily return the extra to the tubes!)
3. use your finger to spread glue on a magnet
4. make sure you get glue all the way to the edges and that the layer of glue isn’t too thick
5. dip the gluey magnet into one of your small glitter piles and press down to make sure the glitter sticks
6. now your glitter magnet needs to dry
7. i put a piece of paper over the back of a cake pan and stuck my magnets to that to dry (this way they don’t stick to each other)
8. once i finished glittering all of the magnets i shook off the excess glitter and removed the paper by shifting over all of the magnets!
9. once they’re dry you can use them on your fridge or some other magnetic surface! YAY!

have fun, they’re really cute - i can’t wait to find more things to cover in glitter : )
