Tiny Polaroid Magnets

My sis's birthday was coming up and she had just put a contract on her first home! I saw these Tiny Polaroid Magnets over at Ambrosiagirl a while back and thought this would be perfect for her.

Here's the ones that I gave to her... Happy Birthday and Congratulations Sis!!!



I used her Polaroid download and some of my favorite pics of my Sis's favorite people and had them printed at Walgreens. I was able to fit 15 on a 4x6.



I found these picture frames for another project while out Junkin' (our fancy word for garage sales, etc)the other day and was about to throw out the pictures.



The tutorial called for chipboard and these pictures were on dense cardboard so it worked out perfect. She used the back page of a sketch book.



I used rubber cement to glue the photos to the chipboard and cut them carefully out.



Once cut out, I enlisted the help of my mother to paint the edges white. This really made them look like Polaroids.



I then attached magnet strips that I bought at Lowe's on 2 yard roll.



I think they turned out super cute and my sister LoVeD them! Score!


I will be linking up to Made By You Monday by Skip To My Lou (#301).
