Embellish It!

Now comes the fun part! It's time to embellish your frame with cute coordinating magnets. The magnets are obviously an essential element to your board and this is where you get to let your imagination run wild- have fun with it! Once you have selected your embellishments you would like to utilize as your magnets, simply hot glue a magnet to the back of the element and voila, your done!


Some ideas for magnets:
Purchase glass bubble beads from the floral department of your local craft store and adhere pictures or stamped images to the back of the beads. Diamond Glaze is the best adhesive to use for this technique.

Bottle Caps are also fun! You can adhere small embellishments inside or even stick a photo inside. Simply adhere your elements inside the bottle cap or use diamond glaze to hold everything in place.

Buttons also make great magnet embellishments. For some added fun, use clear buttons and stamp an image on paper and place underneath.


Flowers are another one of my favorite magnet embellishments.

Want to cover up the seem where the two papers meet?? Simply adhere a ribbon or a strip of coordinating paper over the seem.
