Monogram Magnets



In my last post I shared with you the Monogram Coasters I gave as gifts for Christmas so today I will share with you the second part of the gift everyone received – Monogrammed Magnets. I found the inspiration for this gift on Pinterest created by Little Miss Momma, but wanted to personalize my magnets which also added a few extra steps. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For this project you will need:
Scrapbook paper
Mod Podge – I used Matte Finish
Vinyl
Magnet strip (not pictured)
Beacons 3-in-1 glue (not pictured)
Clear glass beads – from Hobby Lobby


I started by cutting several circles that are a little larger than an inch. Next apply Mod Podge to the bottom of the glass bead and center the paper on the bead making sure to remove any bubbles.     
 
Using my Silhouette I cut vinyl letters that are approximately one inch (or 87.9pt) using the Harrington font.
 
To finish attach a piece of the magnet strip to the back of the glass bead. While the magnet strip will have an adhesive back I recommend using Beacons 3-in-1 glue to ensure the magnet is secure.
 There you have it - a quick and inexpensive personalized gift idea.
