{juice can lid magnets}
I have a large magnet board hanging above the kids’ backpack hooks, and I really wanted and needed some magnets for it. Enter in…juice can lids! I’ve used them for so many projects, and I LOVE them. These literally took less than 10 minutes to make–love that!
These would be so cute in a locker, on a fridge or magnet board, or anywhere magnetic! Use photos instead of paper for an even more personalized look or gift. I used ampersands, but you could also use initials–one for each child or person–or the initial of the person you’re giving them too. The sky’s the limit!!!
{supplies}
-juice can lids
-scrapbook paper (or photos)
-2 inch circle punch, or glass, pencil & scissors
-mod podge & foam brush
– strong circle magnets
-hot glue gun
{directions}
1. Using the circle punch (or use a glass to trace on to paper) and cut out the desired paper or photos. If you’re going to add text, now’s the time to do it! I used a stamp to add the ampersand, but you could do initials, quotes, names, whatever you like! Distress the edges if desired.
2. With the foam brush, add a little mod podge to the top of the lid, then center your paper/photo on it. Use a little more pod podge to cover the paper/photo. Let dry completely.
3. Hot glue the magnet to the back.
Seriously–that’s it!!!! SO easy, and SO fun!
