Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Purchase some clear glass half marbles at a craft store and clean the flat surface with glass cleaner and a lint free cloth.
-
Step 2
Cut 2 byx 2 inch pieces of paper that contain the images or colors you want to use for your magnet. Use gift wrapping paper, napkins, greeting cards or make your own artwork.
-
Step 3
Apply a thin even coat of decoupage medium to the flat surface of a marble and place it flat side down on the center of one of the paper squares. Lift up the marble with the paper attached and squeeze them together to help distribute the decoupage medium.
-
Step 4
Repeat this process for all the marbles and let them dry completely before proceeding.
-
Step 5
Use sharp scissors to trim away the excess paper from the marble. Make a close cut slightly under the outer edge of the glass so that no paper extends over the edge.
-
Step 6
Paint a thin topcoat of decoupage medium over the back of the paper and allow to dry completely.
-
Step 7
Glue a magnet to the paper backed glass with a few drops of epoxy and hold them together until the epoxy forms a bond. Once dry, the magnet is ready for use.
