Festive Magnets
8 commentsWe get into the fridge a lot. If you do too, you might enjoy some patriotic/ festive magnets this 4th of July!
SUPPLIES
- clear glass rocks (round on top, flat on bottom)
- 3/4″ disc magnets
- pretty paper
- glue gun
- craft glue
1. Put a large dollop of craft glue on the flat side of the glass rock. Place the rock glue side down on some pretty paper and rub in a circle to spread the glue out so there’s only a thin layer between the rock and the paper. You don’t want the glue to be too thick.
2. Let dry for several hours.
3. Cut the excess paper off so you can’t see any paper sticking out from the front side.
4. Using a hot glue gun, glue the magnet to the back of the rock.
5. Let dry several hours before using.
My 2 year old helped me with this little project, so you can definitely include your children. I put the glue on and let him stick it to the page – he loved it!
I love seeing my pretty magnets every time I open the fridge! Happy 4th!

Very easy, and a great craft. Thank you!
I haven’t made any of these yet, but I plan to make some to co-ordinate with my new kitchen at The Stone House project. Thanks.
From looking at the photo, I thought these magnets were for the purchasing. I think it is great I can make the magnets myself. They look great! Yes, the project seems simple enough for me.
I love this as an idea, I just wish that stainless steel refrigerators were magnetic!
Very cute idea!!
I actually just had my young women make these as a mutual activity to give to our secret sisters at girls camp…they were super easy to make and the girls loved them!
So easy and so cute! My sister-in-law made some and added letters between the rock and the paper. Her kids use them to spell out messages on the fridge.
I love your magnet idea. I am featuring your project today at The Persimmon Perch. Hopefully people will come to your site and check them out!
