 STEP ONE:Gather materials: Those floral marbles that have a flat bottom (in any size), Magnetic buttons (to match size of floral marbles), Strong clear-drying glue, scraps from magazines with designs you like, scissors. |
 STEP TWO:Once you have a heap of magazine clippings, take the floral marble you're using and scope out how it'll look. Hold the floral marble over each picture, just so you'll get a good idea of the finished product. Once you're pleased with certain clippings, take your strong glue and put a TINY dab on the back of the marble. Then, carefully place the clipping with the desired design onto the marble. Let dry for an hour or so. I also suggest you have your clippings a bit bigger than the floral marble so when you cut away the excess when its dry, it'll turn out a bit cleaner. |
 STEP THREE:Once the paper and marble are sealed together and dry, cut away the excess paper. Do you like my laundry basket in the background? |
 STEP FOUR:Put a tiny dab of glue on the magnet and press onto the back of the marble. You're pretty much guaranteed to get glue all over you at this point. Let these babies dry overnight for best results. If you put them on your fridge too soon, the magnet will stay on and the glass marble will slide right off. |
 STEP FIVE:CREATE AN ARMY OF THESE TO PUT ON YOUR FRIDGE. |
 TIP:If you don't think I'm that great at descriping things, here's a diagram. Its just pretty much sandwiching things all together. |
