Easy Magnets - A Kids Craft

Easy Magnets by Donna Budzynski's Granddaughter

March is Youth Art Month so when my granddaughter wanted to create magnets for her school locker I thought it would be a perfect project for Makin's Clay®! 

Materials Needed:

Makin’s Clay® - Color of choice - We used Olive & Persimmon

Makin’s® -

   Clay Roller
   Clay Cutters  – I used the 3 piece Round & Oval sets
   Texture Sheet Sets  
Makin’s Professional® Cutting Mat

Magnets

Beacon Power-Tac Adhesive™

Iridescent by Ann Butler

Instructions:

Use clay roller to roll clay to about 1/8" thick. 

Place texture sheet over rolled clay and apply even pressure with roller to transfer texture to clay.

  

Use clay cutters to cut desired shapes.  Let dry 24 hours. 

Apply Iridescent to the clay, rub off lightly.

Adhere magnet to the back of each clay piece using Power-Tac adhesive. 

That’s it you are done!
