Lots O' Magnets
About 6 months behind the rest of the world (that's how I work. I'm okay with that.), here are my marble magnets! I started these around Christmastime when there was a splurge of inspiration for these over on Craftster. And I noticed that Not Martha has a super tutorial on them too. They've been sitting around the house in various stages (I can only take the smell of that E6000 glue about once a month for a few minutes!), until this week when I finally wanted them out of the way! I plan on using them as stocking stuffers and little gifty add-ons. The last three images are my favorites--I found some 1950's linoleum, rug, and awning brochures, love the colors and of course--the stripes.
Late? But I haven't done them yet either : )
Yours are wonderful!

I have acquired all the things to make these magnets (I too am behind the rest of the world with these). When I got home with the supplies I held the marbles over various designs and was disappointed at how distorted it looked. Did you buy those marbles in the floral section? I think that your marble magnets look fabulous! I wonder if I bought a bad bag of marbles hmmm...

Awesome! This is one of my favorite craft projects so easy and stress free.

Your magnets are BEAUTIFUL...I made some of these for Christmas a couple years ago (which started my obsession with fridge magnets...visit my blog...you'll see!) Try using bits of fabric behind the glass or what really works well is origami paper...SO MUCH FUN!! Would love to swap magnets with you....

Amanda, you are a machine!! They're beautiful! Your glass looks so clear, are you using the ones meant for flower vases? Those are the ones I used and I had to weed through them quite a bit to get ones that didn't have some sort of flub in them. Yours look great!
