Doodle Magnets With Cabochon Glass

Deborah Liu | Mommy School

Doodle magnets are a great way to preserve your child's artwork on your fridge without the mess.  It has just a handful necessary items and even a 4 year old can make them with a bit of guidance. 

Supplies

• Cabochon glass - 1" square is easiest for kids to cut
• Mod Podge Gloss with brush 
• Magnet strip 
• Cardstock 
• Permanent markers and color pencils 
• Super Glue 

Drawing Base 

• Loosely trace the cabochon glass on a piece of cardstock.  It does not matter if the lines are a bit messy since you will cut inside of them slightly. 
• Draw your designs all the way to the edge with pencil. 

Coloring Base

• Trace with a permanent marker. 
  
• Erase the pencil lines. 
• Color the images with color pencil. 

Cutting

• Using a paper cutter, cut the pieces of cardstock out in a rough cut. 
• Then holding it under the cabochon, cut it close to the edge. 
• Trim the corners to round. 

Assembling

• Brush a think layer of Mod Podge across the glass.  And then press the cardstock on the back of the glass.  Allow to dry. 
• When dry, turn over and brush the back and sides of the cardstock with more Mod Podge.  
• Take a piece of magnet and super glue it to the back.  

A great way to preserve your kid's doodles on your fridge forever!
