I have upcycled these salt/pepper containers into vases. I have the caps left and now finally figured out what I could do with them. I turned these caps into magnets!
I will be showing you three different types of magnets I was able to create with items I already had at home.
Total Time: 15-30 minutes
Supplies:
- clear caps
- scissors
- cardboard
- pen
- hot glue gun
- magnetic strips
- your choice of filling for the magnets
Steps:
- You will need clear caps.
- For magnet #1, I really like the owl picture. This was from a notepad that I jot down some notes and no longer need. Trace the image you want in your magnet. Cut out and keep cutting until it fits in the cap.
- You will need to cut cardboard circles for the backing of your magnets. You will need one piece of cardboard per magnet. Ensure the cardboard fits seamlessly.
- For magnet #2, I poured out a thin layer of beads.
- For both magnet #1 and #2, once you have your layer in (the owl photo and beads) you need to seal the magnet with the cardboard. Apply hot glue all around the cardboard circle and close.
- Then for the beads, I went around the circle again with hot glue to ensure it's completely sealed. Afterwards, I used the magnet strips. I have this magnet strip from Shutterfly when I ordered magnets and it came with this blank sample copy.
- For magnet #3, I kept it simple. I stuck on a heart cardboard sticker to the circle of cardboard. Use the same process, hot glue around the circle and close against cap.
