CD Magnets – June 2019
Materials needed:
- Old, no longer wanted cd’s
- Magnets (I prefer flat magnets, not those that come in a roll)
- Photos 5×7 works best
- Elmer’s glue
- scissors
- pen
Directions:
- Print photos 5×7 size from home on light weight cardstock or at the photo kiosk
- Holding cd behind photo and in front of a bright light center the cd
- Carefully set photo face down and trace around cd
- Cut out photo slightly inside the line
- Before applying glue, dry fit the photo to the cd to see if any extra trimming needs to be done.
- Glue to cd making sure there is a fine line of glue around the outer edge (a little bit of glue goes a long way)
- Glue magnet to back of cd
- Let dry and then place on anything magnetic
I used photos that were printed on cardstock. If using “real” photos I suggest smoothing the glue on the cd with your finger before attaching the photo to the cd. Remember a little glue goes a long way.
