You can make this recycled dimensional floral magnet quickly
and easily with a plastic top from a juice or iced tea container. Earth day is coming up on April 22 and
recycling and reusing items that would ordinarily end up in a landfill is a big
part of loving the earth. This magnet
also uses bits and pieces of flowers and greenery you may have left over from
other projects or an old arrangement.
The best part it that this magnet is dimensional and s-oooo adorable.
Supplies:
Top from iced tea or juice container (The one I had was pink
from an iced tea bottle although they also come in yellow, blue, etc.)
Mini flowers – plastic centers removed
Mini leaves
Medium flower to fit in center with the plastic center intact
Glue dots
Magnet adhesive back sheet
Scissors
Pencil
Glue gun and glue sticks
Directions:
1.
Place the plastic top on the magnetic sheet and
trace around with a pencil. Cut out to
fit the top. Remove the paper backing
from the sheet and attach to the drink top.
2.
Choose 12 mini flowers to fit in the sections on
the outside edges of the drink top.
Remove any plastic center so it lays semi flat. Attach a glue dot on each flower and add to
each section of the outside edges. (See
photo)
3.
Choose 6 mini leaves to fit on the inside
partitions area of the top. Add some
glue dots on the leaves and attach to each section. (See photo)
4.
Choose a flower that will fit in the center
section of the top. Cut the plastic
center stem flat across so it will stand. Using a glue gun and glue sticks add an ample
amount of glue and immediately stand the flower in the center of the glue. Hold till it sets. The flower will be slightly raised
dimensionally.
5.
Use to hold photos, memos and more on your
fridge or any metal surface.
