Several times a week I find myself picking up papers off the floor that have fallen from the fridge.
It seems I just dont have enough magnets to hold up all my important papers.
I bought a small pack of ceramic magnets from the craft store.
Each individual magnet is really inexpensive but has a lot of strength.
After looking through my collection of rocks, I chose a handful to use for my magnet craft.
Did you know that there are three main types of rocks?
Well, Ill admit I didnt know this until I made these little magnets.
The rocks I collected at the beach and I used for this craft are sedimentary rocks.
They are formed from sand, shells, pebbles, and other materials.
The other two types of rocks are called metamorphic and igneous.
The shapes of rocks that work best for this project are ones that are fairly flat on one side.
These have more surface space for the glue to hold onto.
What youll need to make your very own rock fridge magnets:
This project was really simple!
Ready for the instructions?
Apply a good amount of super glue to one side of the ceramic magnet.
Take the flat side of the rock and lay it on top of the magnet.
ensure to work quickly because the glue will dry quickly.
Apply pressure and hold in place for at least 60 seconds.
And there you have your rock magnets!
In case youre still unsure how to make them we have a little video for you.
They look very cool and earthy when you get a bunch of them together.
Whats your solution for displaying all your papers, school forms, to do lists and pics?
