If you are into this DIY home decor frenzy as I am in, you will surely love this edition. They are photo magnets for Fridge or even a bulletin board. They are magnets with pictures of your family and friends, greeting you every morning. Cool right!
Here is how I made them.
Supplies:
-Cork Tiles
-Magnets
-E6000 Glue/ Hot Glue
-Printed Photos
-Mod Podge
-Craft Paint
The first task is to print out the photos that you want to use. I used iPiccy.com which is a free website to edit pictures, to create a 4 * 4 photo collage with photos I wanted and printed them out in our HP printer ( basic one) . Then I cut them to size of the cork tiles.
I have had these cork tiles for a while from Michaels. They are available in most craft shops and even amazon. I painted the edges to prep them with craft paint and then glued the photos with Mod Podge. Then I gave another thin coating to further seal it and to get a slight sheen.
Now you are ready to glue on the magnets to the back of the tiles. Once dry they are ready and set to shine.
Simple right! Our little one makes fun shapes and clips her art works with her most favorite ones and recollects when they were taken. Definitely a win in every which way.

ReplyDeleteCute idea! I just need to find some of those cork coasters and I'll be set. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHey Carmia, Thank you for stopping by. I got mine from Michaels. I believe they are available in Amazon too. Or else cutting down a sheet also would work.
