marble magnet TUTORIAL!!

[evil1074]

I tried this for my wife for christmas, she loves glass eyes,so I printed out a bunch of cool special fx contacts pics I found on line. It didn't work too well but I can now pass on a DONT for this project.... DONT use photopaper! the glue distorted everything horribly. Cris said she still thinks theyre cool,but thats because I'm a special kid and shes my wife

post pics if yours work out better than mine did, I'm a truck driver so not home much so I havent had time to give it another shot

I love that everyone still reads my tutorial! Everyone's marbles look fabulous, you've inspired me to make some more!

[Coreeoree]

I'll post them as soon as I do them!

the first batch that I made, I can't get the magnets to stay on the back!
my marbles keep falling off.
what kind of magnets is everybody using?!
i found some that were made for sticking photos and what not on, so i tried those, but they really arent strong enough for the marbles, so when i try to keep something on the fridge with them, they just sliiiiiiiide down my fridge.

I just used the flat circular kind they came in a tube like mentos at the craft store

I cant find any in a tube. i can only find the cicular ones in a pack of 6 and theyre effin expensive

BUMP...to save. this is so cool and EASY.

[devotchka_spikes]

I did this but didnt have strong enough magnets...so they kinda drooped down.

crafts stores suck around here...i got some of the bitty 1' marbles, but i can't find the big round flat ones around here. wish we had a michael's. hobby lobby's in nm blow ha ha.

[snowchixrock]

I found a small circular punch in the scrapbooking section of Michael's that punches out the images in just the right size for the marbles. It has made making them so much easier on my hands.
