How to make Glass Magnets for Teacher Gifts

Creating your own DIY Glass Magnets are really fun to make since they can be personalized any way you like.   I choose to make these magnets with patterned papers found in the Echo Park Paper’s Teacher’s Pet 6 x 6  paper pad.

 

 

To make the magnets, I used an X-ACTO knife to cut out 1″ circles.  You could also use a circle paper punch but I chose to use a craft knife so  I could cut out the exact part of the paper I wanted to use.  Of course, using a punch would of been much easier tho, let me tell ya, it’s kinda hard to cut out a perfect circle by hand.  #issues

 

After the circles were cut out, I used  Mod Podge to adhere the paper on the back of  round glass tiles.

 

When the Mod Podge was dry, I used a strong adhesive to glue the round magnets on the the back of the glass tiles.

 

When the DIY magnets were assembled and ready to use,  I stuck them on to a magnetic board and hung a couple journaling cards which are also found in the Teacher’s Pet kit.

 

 

I hope these easy Easy Glass Magnets Idea for Teacher Gifts inspires you to create something thoughtful for all those amazing teachers out there.  Even  if you don’t have a creative bug in you, I’m sure a gift of good ol’ coffee would do the trick too.
