DIY photo magnets



Here’s a simple DIY gift that your kids can make for the holidays. These are great stocking stuffers or handmade gifts to share with grandparents, friends, caregivers or teachers. Plus, they make the perfect memory-filled display for your fridge. We’ll be making handmade gifts at the museum throughout December during GiftWorks.


Supplies:

Small metal lids (eg. baby food or mason jar)

Photos

Acrylic paint or permanent markers

Hot glue gun or glue dots

Magnets

Scissors

Pencil or pen


How to: 

1. On back of photo, trace around lid.


2. Cut out the photo inside the line you traced.


3. Decorate the edges of lid with paint or markers. Let dry. 


4. Apply glue around inner ring of inside of lid; place circle photo inside.


5. Attach/glue a magnet to the back of the lid (magnetic side facing out).
