Magnetic Jewelry Clasps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are they obsessed with jewelry? Get creative and make them a bracelet or necklace from scratch! Our magnetic clasps are a safe and secure way to fasten any bracelet or necklace. This is a great activity to do with the children, as they can choose the beads and style of the accessory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic Photo Holders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do they have a picture for every moment? Then why not make them some magnetic photo holders for her fridge! Start by getting some of her favorite pictures printed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get some wooden clothes pegs and decorate them. Design ideas- Monsters, superheroes, personalized messages, glitter, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then with our magnetic tape, simply cut to size and stick it to the backs of the pegs. We advise allowing the adhesive 24-32 hours to fully cure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clip each photo in a peg and you\u2019re ready to go! The clip feature allows them to pick and change the pictures the more they take.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic Broach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are they into fashion? Try making them a magnetic broach! This is an ideal alternative to traditional pin backs as they won\u2019t leave holes in her clothing or accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create your broach. Design ideas: Fabric patches or jeweled applique or create your own with felt and fabric.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then simply peel and stick our adhesive-backed steel disc<\/a> to the back of the broach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then use the magnetic disc to sit underneath the clothing to secure it into place. Top tip: The broach can also be used as a fastener for tote bags!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic Tote Bags<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do they love to shop? Our textile sew-in magnets are perfect for sewing into the tops of tote bags, to keep them securely closed. This will help protect their shopping on those rainy days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Decorate your tote bag. Design ideas: fabric paints, tie dye, or applique for the more advanced crafters!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sew one magnet into the inner top of the bag and sew the other magnet to the opposing side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
