Paint Chip Button Magnets

I found this Martha Stewart craft punch in a button design.  The edge is embossed, so it is raised after you punch it out and looks like a real button.  I got it for half off…regularly it is 12.99!

I cut out the button design and used my 1” punch to cut a contrasting color, then glued them together.  Did I mention that I used paint chips for these?  Lots of color ranges and for some reason I have lots of them.

I bought the large flat marbles at the Dollar Tree, guess how much they cost?  Hmmm, let me try to remember, oh yeah, 1 buckeroo!

I tried to use Mod Podge and the Dimensional Magic Mod Podge to attach the paint chips to the glass, but that didn’t work so well.  The diet coke is mandatory for such a project too!

I used the Martha Stewart gel adhesive. I really like that stuff!

Here they are drying in the sun!  Looking good!  I also cut out some just plain circles for plain magnets!

After gluing a small magnet to the back of the glass, here’s the finished product! 

Makes a great gift for a sewing or crafting friend or family member!

These were made from one colorway…looked great but there is a kind of crackle finish somehow by accident.  I sorta like the look though!

I am linking to these great parties!
