A Happy Birthday Present Idea

With only one income the only guaranteed shopping I get to do is grocery shopping, which isn't a bad thing since I love the kitchen; however, this means creativity needs to happen for other types of shopping. 

Birthday shopping is not a must, but I like to give gifts when possible. Gma's (my mom) had her birthday a couple of weeks ago and I knew anything relating to Baby Girl as her present would be a winner. So, I decided to make something that had her face all over it. I came up with Baby Girl Magnets.


Baby Girl Magnets
What you need:
Tiny pictures (I used the "index card" you get when you order photos online)
Clear rocks
Mod Podge
Magnet strips

That's it! The best part about this project was that I already had everything with the exception of the magnets, but the roll I got was only $2 at Michael's. One thing I must say is that patience is key to this project. I started to panic after the a day had gone by and the glue still wasn't clear. It took a couple of days and maybe I used too much, but it did end up drying clear. Whew!

I also suggest putting the glue on the rock versus the picture. Then press the rock onto the picture, let sit to dry for a couple of days. The magnets I got are already sticky on the back so those just stick right onto the back of the picture.

Simple, easy, CHEAP!, and Gma loved it!
