Crayon-Inspired Magnet

This is an amazingly cute little magnet. It is super easy to make, and it looks great in the home, classroom, office, or anywhere else!

• A large, medium, and ultra-fine paintbrush (a toothpick is also a good ultra-fine option)
• A glass vase filler bead
• A round magnet
• Black paint
• paint of another color (in thiscase, it was blue)
• Super glue
• Craft finisher

Squirt a bit of blue paint (or whatever color) on a paper plate or other paint-safe surface. Paint all sides of your vase filler bead and let it dry.

With a toothpick or ultra-fine brush, dip it in black paint and write the word "crayon" in the middle, leaving plenty of room on the sides.

Paint black strips on either side of your word, just like a real crayon would have. Let it dry.

Dip a toothpick or ultra-fine brush in the same shade of blue you used for your base coat. Draw teeny squiggles down the back strips to make it look more like a crayon. Let it dry.

With super glue, add a magnet to the bottom and let it dry.
