Magnets

For just $1, I bought a bag of smooth glass beads at the Dollar Tree.  I've typically seen them used in fishbowls, centerpieces, and vases holding flowers, but they have a variety of craft uses.
I love making these magnets!

First I rip out a bunch of pages from old magazines, advertisements, even pictures that have interesting designs.

Next, I trace around the bead and cut it out.

Then I brush on a layer of Mod Podge and immediately add the paper, finishing with a final layer of Mod Podge.


After it dries, add a magnet to the back or glue to an outlet cover!
