  Step 1

  Decide each of the activities that you'd like to make magnets for - sewing, cooking, writing, scrapbooking etc. and list them down. Your magnets need to be inspiring, so pick a photo to represent each activity. I scoured Pinterest for images that made me feel motivated.

• 

  Step 2

  Open your favourite software editing program. Create a square, around 1000x1000 pixels on a white canvas. Draw a square and set the outline to a dashed line.

• 

  Step 3

  Drag in your first inspiring image and cut in to a neat square in the middle of your dashed square.

• 

  Step 4

  Apply a slight gaussian blur.

• 

  Step 5

  Draw a white rectangle at the bottom of the image.

• 

  Step 6

  Draw a small square checkbox and add a text box for your first activity. Continue these steps to make images for all of your activities.

• 

  Step 7

  Print out your magnets on to a magnetic sheet.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut each magnet out.

• 

  Step 9

  Attach to your whiteboard and get organized!

What's a magnetic sheet?? I love it!

It's like a sheet of card with a really thin sheet of magnet behind it. You can put it through your printer like a normal piece of paper!
