Homemade Gift Idea - Refrigerator Magnets

[jacab hobes]

Refrigerator magnets make a excellent selfmade gift concept due to the fact they are a laugh to make, quite smooth, and can be pleasant for humans to get hold of due to the fact you definitely can customize it through the usage of pics which are unique to every gift recipient. You can use pics in their kids, their favorite musician or actor. If the individual is into birding, you could use photographs of various species of birds. If the gift recipient is into astronomy, you can use photos of a galaxies or different phenomenon.

Items you'll want:

Flat glass gems...

Flat glass gem stones are like flattened glass clean marbles which can be perfectly flat on one facet, and rounded on the other. They can be observed at Michael's, your neighborhood craft keep, or at on line stores like wholesalersusainc.Com. They are available in a huge variety of sizes and hues. I could stay with the clear half of inch to 1 inch sorts, because the magnets will guide them higher, and that they have a extra gem-like look at a smaller size.

Magnets...

Avoid the thin sheet-like Magnet Bonding Adhesives as they may no longer help the load of the glass thoroughly. I could suggest sturdy three/16" non-adhesive thick circle magnets. I discovered a few at Michael's, and at shop-on-crafts.Com. You also would possibly need to try your nearby craft keep or hardware store.

Adhesive...

Any robust clean adhesive from your neighborhood craft shop will do the task, however I even have determined that Diamond Glaze Adhesive dries crystal clear and bonds very securely.

Images...

The crucial aspect is to suppose when determined on pix is who is receiving the gift, and what are they inquisitive about. You can clip pictures out from magazines, use a number of your personal snap shots, or download loose photographs from a royalty unfastened site like everystockphoto.Com. You'll need to get the part of the photo right down to a size in order that it fits the diameter of the glass marble. There many approaches to do that at the pc. If you have a software like Photoshop simply pass as much as the Image menu, go to Image Size and just enter the dimensions there. If you are the use of Windows's Paint, use the square choice device to attract a container round your image and drag a nook factor to resize the photo to the favored dimensions. In the software Preview on a Mac, go to the Tools menu, select Adjust Size and enter the scale there. I assume there are ways to do this in other programs like Microsoft Word, as well as many different ways, or simply cut the images out of images or magazines

The method..

Putting all of it collectively is quite smooth.

Cut out your picture to fit the diameter of the glass marble gem.
Use the clear adhesive to glue the face of the photo to the flat side of the glass marble gem.
Let dry... It should not take too lengthy but confer with the commands on the adhesive tube.
Glue the magnet to the again of the photo.
Let dry and your gifts are executed!
I had quite a few fun making those items. It could be a laugh to get youngsters worried in this, due to the fact they possibly might have a knack for find some a laugh and funny photos and ideas to use.
