Snowman Magnets

The purpose of celebrating Christmas in July? It's so we can have time to enjoy crafting with snowmen, Santas and snowflakes during a month that doesn't actually have the Christmas holidays in it. So let's make some magnets that you can place onto the fridge or any metal surface when the holidays actually do arrive! We have 4 great snowmen rubber cling stamps that make beautiful magnets.

Supplies:

4 Snowman Stamps

Sheet magnet material

Craft Foam (comes in sheets in any color)

Modge Podge or White school glue, if you prefer

Markers or Colored Pencils 

Optional: Alcohol Ink

To begin, stamp each snowman on white cardstock using black ink. Use StazOn or Palette Hybrid ink because you'll be coloring on them.

These snowmen fit nicely in a 2.5" (2 1/2 inch) round circle. You can use a metal die to cut the paper, the foam and the magnet through a crank machine, a hand punch, or by hand using a compass or the rim of a jar and a pencil.

Take your markers or colored pencils and color in your snowmen any way you like. Hint: I use my lightest blue Copic to edge color the snow part of the body.

Coloring Tip: I've learned that to have a scrap paper same as what your project is to test each color before coloring my actual piece.


I added alcohol ink to darken the edges.

Using a brush, apply Modge Podge (I used the 'Gloss') to each surface and allow to dry (which is fast). Then apply Modge Podge to the back of each snowmen circle and onto the foam circle. Finally, apply Modge Podge to the maget and place foam snowman onto magnet creating a sandwich of card stock, foam, magnet.

The Modge Podge gives the paper surface a nice sheen and it no longer just looks like card stock. And it doubles as a glue for the inner layers!

Ready for the fridge or any metal surface, these 4 snowmen will be a nice, simple Christmas decoration during the holiday season.

You can purchase each of these snowmen individually, or we have a special price when buying the group of 4 snowmen featured in this post, click here to view special listing in our shopping cart.

New Coloring Booklet Casual Chic

We have a new digital download available: It is the  Casual Chic - Modern Fashion Plates Coloring Booklet   featuring 12 girls dressed in cute outfits along with accessories such as eyewear, hats, purses, and some even have a dog with them.  All of the girls measure over 6 inches in height and print onto 3 pages (landscape). The outfits are fun and unique. You will always be challenged to use various colors while practicing your shading and blending techniques. I had such a blast creating the examples for this project.   Tip: If you have not already, this is a good way to get to know what markers you have. There is a color swatch area to label and try out colors before committing onto a character, which is especially helpful for skin and hair. In my case, I got to know which skin tone markers I had. Between 2 sets of brush tip markers, I was able to create a variety of skin colors so that each girl did not look identical to the next. The best part is that you do...
