Fun Patriotic magnets to adorn bulletin boards or the refrigerator this Memorial Day and into the coming months {flag day, 4th of July ….. }

.

Supplies

•  Mod Podge {matte-mat}
•  Mod Podge {dimensional magic}
•  Q-tips {or disposable brushes}
•  Toothpicks
•  Scissors
•  round magnets {¾”}
•  Red, white and blue tissue papers {cut into small ½- ¼ inch strips}
•  star paper punch {optional}

.

Before starting the project, protect the surface area you will be working on with disposable paper or other materials.

Step 1   With a Q-tip as the brush, dip it in Mod Podge matte-mat and apply a light coat on the top side of the magnet.  Start adding the little pieces of tissue and layering them on top of each other.  Use the tip of a toothpick to hold the tissue pieces in place while apply Mod Podge. Finish it off with one last coat of Mod Podge.  Let it dry for 30 minutes.

.

.Step 2    Apply glue and tissues to the sides of the magnet.  Let it dry for 30 minutes.  These magnets are completely done…. just wanted to show the side view.

.

Step 3   The last step is to apply the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.  The liquid will come out of the bottle cloudy/milky and dry clear and glossy in 24 hours.  Start at the center and move out to the edges of the magnet.  Add enough liquid to form a dome shape {it will not spill over easily}.  Use a toothpick to pop any air bubbles and to move the liquid closer towards the edges if needed.  Let it dry for 24 hours.

.

I like how the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic adds a shiny 3-dimensional surface to the magnets.
