Homemade Bottle Top Fridge Magnets

Homemade Christmas Gifts: Bottle Top Fridge Magnets 🎄🎁 You’ll need: 🎄 Recycled bottle tops or plastic lids 🎁Glue 🎄Scissors 🎁A thin paintbrush 🎄Adhesive magnetic strip or small magnet pieces (can get at craft store) 🎁Glitter 🎄Paper, pencils, permanent markers (can also recyle kid’s old artwork) 🎁Sequins and other embellishments How to Make 1) Begin by making some colorful artwork. These drawings will be cut down to size to fit inside the bottle tops, so there are two ways to go about making the artwork. Your kids can add patterns and color all over the page and then small sections can be cut down to size. Alternatively you could draw circles on the page in a size to match the bottle tops, and then have the kids draw tiny pictures inside the circles. 2) Next, cut the artwork down to size, to fit inside the bottle tops. To do this, I placed a bottle top onto the artwork, drew around the edge so that I had an outline to work with, and then cut a circle slightly smaller than the one I had drawn. There’s no need to be perfectly accurate with the cutting. Any gaps will be covered later on with glitter. 3) Use the glue to attach the circles of artwork to the inside of the bottle tops. At this point you can apply sequins or other decorative embellishments to the pictures. 4) Next, apply glue to the outside edge of the bottle tops.!It helps to use a small paintbrush to apply the glue. 5) Now GLITTER! 6) Sprinkle glitter over the bottle tops, shake off the excess and admire how beautiful they look. We did this step over a paper plate which helped to contain the mess and clean up was a breeze. 7) Once the glue and glitter are set, turn the bottle tops over and apply a magnet. We used a roll of adhesive magnetic strip which we cut down to size and then applied to each bottle top. You could also use a very small magnet, applied with glue. 8) Your gift is done and ready to be wrapped! Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins will love opening these tiny homemade gifts! Kids will have a ball making them!
