Want to make an Admiral Ackbar shrine on your fridge? Feel like turning your locker over to the dark side?
Now you can make one-of-a-kind cool Star Wars magnets by following the simple instructions provided below. Just gather up your favorite Star Wars images and get ready to have some crafty fun.
What You Need:
- craft glue that dries clear (silicone-based is best)
- 1/2" round (strong) magnets
- clear, flat marbles (usually found in the fake flower area of the craft store)
- scissors or 1/2" scrapbooking hole puncher
- small Star Wars images
- Popsicle stick (to spread the glue)
- white paper
- paper towels (for easy clean-up)
How to Make the Magnets:
1. With a safe pair of scissors, cut your image that you want to make into a magnet. You will want it to be a circle about a half-inch wide. If you don't want to use scissors, get a special craft hole puncher that punches half-inch holes (found in the scrapbook section of the craft store). Hole punchers make it easier for you to make a bunch of magnets at a time, but either way will work.
2. After you cut the image you want into a half-inch circle, place it aside. Next put a small bead of glue on the Popsicle stick. Then take one of the round magnets and carefully dab the glue on to one side with the Popsicle stick. Once one side of the magnet has glue on it, place your cut-out image on top of the glue side of the magnet. You want your image to be facing up.
3. Now put small amount of glue on the stick. This time dab the glue from the stick in the middle of the flat side of the marble. Then place the glue-sided marble on top of your image that's on the magnet. Gently press down so that any air bubbles disappear.
4. Let dry. Once the marble magnets have set, feel free to place them on the fridge, in your locker, or give them to your friends and family as gifts!
