I recognize that I’m a little late in the game to do this project/tutorial. You can find these tutorials on the web dating back a few years. However, I just know that there are some of you out there unfamiliar with this craft. For those of you sheltered individuals, please allow me to introduce you to the fun of making glass bead magnets! Warning: These magnets are so easy to make and so instantly gratifying that they become a bit addictive. Do not blame me if your husband can’t find the refrigerator handle amidst the sea of cute magnets!
A wedding gift for a friend for under $10! What newlywed could refuse a cute vintagey magnet to hang up all those wedding pics on the fridge? I think she’ll love it! I know I do.
Join the party!

p.s. i forgot to mention that i just used the inside of some envelopes for the magnet design. Some of those protective envelopes have designs in them and i just used those. I do love your designs too!

Very cute! I just made some magnets too and they are very addictive…until I ran out of the magnets (and i'm overseas right now)! I got my magnets at JoAnn's and they were $2 for 10. They are 1/2 inch and work perfectly for glass beads. http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2898&PRODID=prd1956

Great idea…I had never seen it! I'll have to "steal" this idea. Magnets are always a great gift!

You're really funny. And the transformation of the altoids container is seriously impressive.

So I have a challenge for you: A friend's husband is returning from a year-long deployment. Her friend is throwing a shower for her, sort of like a bridal lingerie shower, to celebrate their upcoming reunion. I need a gift idea. Okay… go!
