colorful wooden magnets

My kids have tons of stuff going on- soccer, dance, school assemblies etc.  There are tons of papers around our house that always get stuck to the heart of our home- the fridge.  So since I can't do anything about the gobs of papers, I decided to at least make cute magnets to hold them.


The magnets are bright, colorful and FUN!!


I started with these bare wood pieces from my local craft store.


I mod podged some cute patterned papers to the front of them.


Then using a craft knife (amazon link), I cut the excess paper off.


I sanded the rough edges and gave each piece a few more coats of mod podge to seal it.  


I glued a small magnet (amazon link) to the back of each wood piece.


I love the variety of colors and shapes.



And they look great holding up a pic of my pumpkins!!

    I've seen lots of glass magnets, but never wood ones! I like the country look of these. Thanks for sharing. I found you on nap-time cerations link party. I posted on there too. Please visit my link if you have time. I've only been blogging for a week, so I am SO excited to have a visitor.

    Hi!
    I found you through tatertots and jello. I absolutely love these magnets! I have made map magnets using glass rocks before... but I love how these look flat and aged. What a great idea, I am totally going to have to do this!! Thanks for sharing it,

    So cute - I LOVE these! The papers you used look fun and modern and go together really well (but not in an overly match-y way)! : )
