Step 1

So, consider taking your kids outside for a fingerpainting session to keep your rug safe.
Step 2
The fun starts immediately with some fingerpainting!
Or should I say… finger inking?
Just have fun with the ink.
Encourage your little ones to try out new shapes, color variations, or use multiple fingers.
The more variety you have, the more magnets you could make later.
Step 3
The next step is to bring these simple fingerprints to life!
ensure its high-quality and wont smear.
Using a brush, evenly spread someMod Podgeon the glass gems base.
Step 5
Press the glass gem down onto the page, situating the drawing in the middle.
Press down and leave it to dry.
Youll know its dry once the Mod Podge has gone clear.
This is why you need a high-quality permanent marker, as lower-quality pens may smear thanks to the glue.
Step 6
Once everything is dry and attached, its time to cut the shapes out.
Simply cut around the glued glass gems base, making sure youre not leaving any excess paper.
see to it the paper youve selected for thiscraftis thick enough to hide the magnet.
A perfect memory of a fun family craft afternoon that can hang on your fridge forever.
These make memorable gifts (especially for grandparents), not to mention how easy they are to make.
With your childs fingerprints preserved behind glass, youll always have a touch of their childhood around.
Draw anything; from the animal kingdom or insects to emojis and more.
In fact, you could use this very same principle to make your own set of magnets.
