You will need

• Clear glass beads with a smooth flat bottom
• Photos, drawings or images from magazines, gift wrap etc.
• Magnets (the larger the glass bead, the larger the magnet will have to be to hold it in place)
• Strong, all-purpose adhesive
• Scissors

Steps

1. Place glass bead over the image and trace around. Cut out.
2. Place image right side up and apply a blob of glue to the centre.
3. Press bead gently down onto the glue. The glue will spread to the edges. Leave to dry.
4. Glue a magnet onto the back and allow to dry before using.

Tips

• Use good quality strong magnets that are able to hold the weight of the glass bead once it is stuck to the fridge.
• Select beads that have little or no flaws on the flat bottom.
• Cut the images small enough so that they don't overhang the flat bottom of the glass bead. Images will be magnified under the bead.
