DIY Gift Idea: Glass Tile Homemade Magnets

Christmas· Craft Basics· Paper Crafts

Looking for a fun handmade gift idea? I don’t know about you but I love creating special personalized gifts for friends and family. Today I’m sharing a tutorial on how to make these cute glass tile homemade magnets. Not only do I use these personally, but they make great gifts as well. They can be personalized with photos or different types of papers for unique and custom gifts.

homemade-magnets-gift-ideas-consumer-crafts-unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own homemade magnets:ClickLinks1

  • Square and Rectangular Glass Tiles
  • 3/16 x 1/2″ Round Magnets
  • Tacky Glue
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Assorted Scrapbook Papers
  • Foam Brush

For the packaging:

  • Small Metal Tins with Lids
  • Ribbon (I used red linen & snowflake)
  • Hot Glue

homemade-magnets-gift-ideas-consumer-crafts-unleashed-suppliesStep 1. You’ll start by tracing out the glass tiles on scrapbook paper. This is where you can get creative. You can use all one pattern of paper or coordinate with different styles. If you wanted to really personalize the magnets you could use photos printed small so they fit the magnets.

homemade-magnets-gift-ideas-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6After you have your papers traced, you’ll cut them out. (You’ll notice that the papers will still be a little larger than the tiles. You’ll want to trim them down so there is no excess.)

After the scrapbook paper has been glued and dried to the glass tile, you’ll apply glue to the back of the magnet and secure it to the underside of the tile against the scrapbook paper. Let the glue dry completely and you’ve got some cute unique homemade magnets!

They come with a lid and hold the magnets in place. You can add some flair by tracing out some coordinating scrapbook paper and gluing it to the top of the tin.

    These are awesome! Especially for a little something for neighbors or such.
    Your list of supplies mentions *hot glue*… did I miss a step, I read it twice and see no hot glue being used.
