Layered Felt Monster Magnets
Spring has finally sprung (YAY), and with it- a very welcome break from school! If you’re like me and planning a staycation you won’t want to miss this fun and easy craftventure, so grab your felt scraps and your littles and let’s make some layered mini monster magic!
*Disclaimer: This also shockingly works amazingly well when crafting non-monster-related magnets.
Materials:
- Acrylic Craft Felt (I used the Acrylic Craft Felt Sample Bag) in the following colors:
- Scissors
- Dies
- Magnets
- Glue gun
Instructions:
- Using dies, cut out varying sizes of circles in your chosen shades.
Tip: Cut extra circles to fill in pieces with differing numbers of layers for height variance.
- Trim stray fibers with scissors to clean up the edges. This will make gluing a bit easier.
- Layer your design to ensure there are enough pieces for desired shape. Then lay each piece in sequential order onto the workspace.
- Begin with the base piece, add a small dollop of glue and attach magnet. Next closely circle the magnet with glue and add a second spot of glue directly on top of the magnet. Place the next piece. Continue by adding a small dollop of glue along with the next piece until your shape is complete. *Tip: do not press firmly as the glue will easily seep through the acrylic felt fibers. A gentle touch is all that’s needed.
- Once complete the overall shape will show the differing layers very well. If desired, stop here. However, carefully trimming around the edges will give a smoother appearance.
And done! I hope you enjoyed crafting some awesome monster feature magnets. Now you can keep the fun going all break long by attaching them to any and every magnet-friendly surface!
