My kids love to hang their pictures on our refrigerator. I love displaying their artwork, but most of our magnets are those freebie advertisement magnets you get for free from businesses.

I had a bit of polymer clay leftover from another project, but just enough to create a matching set of my own magnets! If your fridge could use a little more style, give this DIY a try.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • Baking Tray
  • Flat Surface
  • Flat Bottomed Glass
  • Strong Glue
  • Magnet(s)
  • Rubber Stamps s Or Texturing Tool
  • Polymer Clay

Steps (5 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Divide the clay into equally-sized pieces. Roll them into smooth, uniform balls.

  2. 2

    Pick a glass with a flat, smooth bottom; gently press onto each ball to flatten them into a round, flat disc. Mine are about 1/8" thick. Do this on a smooth, flat surface.

  3. 3

    With a clean rubber stamp, imprint a design into each clay disk. I had these lace stamps just sitting in my closet. Geometric patterns; animals; or floral would be great as well!

  4. 4

    Bake the clay according to the directions. When cool, glue a magnet to the back center of each disc.

  5. 5

    Allow glue to dry. Your magnets are now ready for use or for gift-giving!
