Thanks again to our followers—and rest assured there will be many MORE giveaways in your future.


Mighty Magnets are a craft that we love and are the first of many posts highlighting our WOM-filled weekend.  They are quick, easy, and cost next to nothing!  (Thank you Holly for this fabulous craft tutorial--many years ago!)  In addition—we are kicking of a WOM-Filled weekend series (don’t forget we were together at last recently).   


Here’s what you will need: 


Clear Glass Pebbles (we prefer to purchase a pack of both small and large—these can be purchased at any craft store and often times you can find a coupon to make these even cheaper)

the magnet trio

Circular Magnets (we have tried the strip magnets and they just don’t have the same magnetic power—trust us…spend a little more and you will appreciate it)


Clear Jewelry Glue (any liquid glue that dries clear will do the trick)


Magazines (we prefer magazines with lots of colorful pages and find that decorator magazines work best)

IKEA has great patterns - Lori's fave!

Here’s what you need to do:

1.    Flip through magazines looking for pages that jump out at you (we like to find a page that will have three to four different patterns that look good together—creating a magnet set).  Tear out these pages.

2.    Take your clear pebbles and determine what looks best.  Once selected—place a dab of glue (one drop is enough) on those perfect spots and adhere the glass pebble to the magazine page.

Place on pattern

3.   Once completely dry, trim the excess magazine away from the pebble.

Trim trim

4.   Using the same glue, adhere the magnet to the back of the pebble (magazine side).  DONE!  Seriously, it takes longer to pull the materials out of your craft tub than to make them.

Sweet little guys!

Thrifty Tip:  You’ll have plenty of pebbles, magnets and magazine pages – make loads of these and you’ll have plenty for your fridge and gifts.  THRIFTY and THOUGHTFUL!  J


Gift Tip:  Gift them in a set of four (three small and one large).  We even came across these awesome spice holders at IKEA (during the WOM-Filled weekend). 

ONLY $4.99 for three spice tins!  WHAT A STEAL!

The perfect gift!  (You can find mint tins or even make small fabric bags to hold your magnets.  The possibilities are endless!).
