Glowing jar project – varázslat a lakásban (EN/HU) Diy {magnets} I was cleaning out my craft space (or as my family jokingly calls it, "the factory") and I came across a few miscellaneous objects that I thought would be good to use for a project.

Glass marble magnet -Trace the marble onto the paper that you want to use. I used pages from an old US road map but you could use whatever you like. -Cut out the shape -Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the front of the paper and smooth it onto the glass marble. -Place a small dot of Gorilla Glue (or E6000) to the magnet and place it on the back of the marble (I placed a book on top of the magnets for some pressure while it dried.)
