Here's a simple project for you or the children to make just in time for Mother's Day!
All you need are some magnets, decorative papers, glass domes, scissors, pen, glitter pen and Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
To make the Domes:
First cut a decorative piece of paper to fit the size of the dome. Edge the paper with a glitter pen (or decorate) and then evenly apply the Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to the dome.
Place the dome on top of the decorative paper firmly and allow to dry completely.
Once dry, apply Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to the under side of the paper and apply a small strong magnet. Allow to thoroughly dry before using.
To make the Bookmarks:
Cut out your decorative paper to your preferred size and decorate as desired being sure to keep your embellishments flat as it will be sitting in a book. Also cut out a strip of paper that will be bent over the top of the page, so make it the length of your decorative piece plus a couple of centimetres. Also cut your magnets (I used last years local real estate fridge magnet) to fit on the long strip at each end.
Glue the right side of the long strip to the wrong size of your decorative piece, allow to dry.
With your Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive, glue one piece of magnet (face down) to the wrong side of your strip of paper and then place the other magnet (face up) on top of the magnet already glued. Apply glue to the 'face up' magnet, fold over your bookmark and press gently but firmly down and allow plenty of time for this to dry.
Once all your magnets are dry you can enjoy them yourself or wrap them up and give them to mum for a lovely little addition on Mother's Day.
Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive does dry very quickly but when working with magnets you must allow extra time to be sure they are completely dry before using.
Thank you so much for dropping by today, I do hope you like this simple tutorial and will consider making one (or two) yourself :)
