Marble Mini-Headshot Magnets


You know those little sheets of thumbnail size photos you get when printing photos? I recently thought of the perfect thing to do with them!

I have been making these little bubble magnets for years, using round/flat marbles, a pack round magnets, and silicone glue. I usually cut out eye-catching graphics from old magazines.

I made a batch using the mini photo-headshots. It works best with close up portraits. Featured above: Andrew in his earflap winter hat, a portrait of my grandmother Libby as a young woman, a couple-shot of my friendly neighbors, and my cousin's baby.

Detailed instructions of marble-magnet-making can be found at Not Martha.
