More Handmade Love

Just a continuation of the fun that I had with my glass tiles this weekend…

Happy magnets!!!

{These are for me. :)}

For this project, I used 1.5″ domed tiles, scrapbook paper, and dimensional stickers that look like typewriter keys.

I made this set as a gift for a colleague. She and her husband are world travelers so I knew this sheet of stamps would be perfect!

I started by using a 1.5″ hole punch to cut my rounds for the back of the tiles. Just as with my previous project, I coated the backside of each tile with Sun and Moon glaze and placed it directly on top of my punched circles.

{Lesson Learned}

I wouldn’t recommend punching your shapes in advance. The glaze causes the tiles to slide around a bit so they required a bit of “babysitting” until the solution begins to set. It is very easy to trim around the tiles so having precut circles is not necessary.

Once the glaze dried, I still needed to trim some excess card stock from around the edges. I coated the back of the tile with more glaze and allowed it to dry overnight.

Once dry, I adhered my magnets to the back of the tiles.
