Small Gifts - Art Magnets

I used some of the watercolors I painted this year to make some art magnets. 

The fall leaves on my niece's card, the sail boat from my aunt's card, the bulrushes on my brother in law's card and the sunrise from my stained glass project.

I sized them to fit the magnets I had which measure 1.5 x 2.75 inches. I layed them out digitally onto a 4x6 document then had them professionally printed on photo paper.

I had sized them a wee bit bigger to allow for some leeway with placement.  I trimmed one side exactlyl then it was easy to lay that against the edge of the sticky magnet.  Once layed down I burnished them with a brayer to ensure good adhesion.  I trimmed the extra paper away with scissors then did the corners with my blue corner rounder which matched perfectly the corner on the magnets. Unfortunately, my signature generally in the bottom right hand corner was affected.

A beautiful set of magnets with watercolor images.  I made several sets.

Photo Magnets

I decided to add photo magnets to my product line for craft sales this year.  These are created with my photographs with popular sentiments.   Gratitude, Family, Friends, Life, & Kindness are the themes I selected.  They measure 3x4 inches and the back is completely covered with magnet.  Love them.
