I wanted to share this easy project. These were my Mother's day gifts to the Grannies and they both loved it.
I used a small square piece of hardboard (available at my local craft shop), modge podge, glue, small mosaic tiles, magnets, paint and photographs. I used the modge podge to glue the photos onto the wood and then used it on top of the pictures to give them a protective layer. Once dry, I carefully glued the mosaic tiles around the photos. I glued some magnets on to the back of the hardboard and painted the sides to match the tile colour. All done! A super fridge magnet. Now I just need to find the time to make some of my own :).
These are too cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Georgia, which craft shop do you buy from? I am looking for red mosiac tiles and can't find at the places I have been to.
ReplyDeleteHi Lindy
ReplyDeleteI bought these at "Joh' se Winkel" in Ridgeworth, Bellville. If you would like more details, feel free to email me at gsetzer@telkomsa.net

Ah, forgot about that shop - going there tomorrow then!!
ReplyDeleteSo Cute! Love the idea. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI am attempting these for Mother's Day after seeing the post on Pinterest. What did you use for magnets? I bought magnetic tape and get it to stick
ReplyDeleteI used magnetic strips that I glued on. Why don't you add extra glue to your magnetic tape - a glue gun works really well. Hope that helps!
