Bubble Magnets
-
To make bubble magnets, you'll need flat, clear marbles, round magnets, craft glue that dries clear and photos of loved ones. Place the marble over the faces in the photos and pick out some faces that fit in the marbles. Trace the marbles onto the photos and cut out the faces along the trace lines. Spread a small amount of glue onto the flat side of the marble. Press the marble onto one of the cut out faces and allow to dry. Glue a magnet to the marble and let dry.
Magnetic Scenes
-
Magnetic scenes can be a craft and a game. Purchase magnet printer paper and print family photos directly onto the paper. Cut out the people in the photos to make individual magnets. Print a variety of scenes (the beach, mountains, etc.) to put on your refrigerator. Have fun placing your family members in the various scenes.

Magnetic Foam Picture Frames
-
Purchase a foam picture frame with magnetic backing from a craft store. Frames are available in a variety of shapes and colors -- choose one that coordinates with the photo you plan to frame . Decorate the frame with foam cutout shapes, such as stars or hearts. Foam cutouts are also available in a variety of festive shapes and colors for many holidays and special occasions. You can personalize your frame foam letters by adding the name of the person in the photo or words such as "Family" or "Friends" to your frame. If you'd like to add some sparkle to your frame, decorate with glitter or stick-on rhinestones.
