Stumped on a project, application or product? Send me a note with your crafty crisis. I'll do my best to come to the rescue! AND - if you are a clever crafter and can offer a suggestion, please post a comment :-) Wednesday, July 06, 2005Marble magnets in a minute
Hello. I attended the Latino Film Festival in Chandler last year and you were there teaching us how to do a magnet. I loved the idea and am curious if you can send me the instructions on how to do it. I live in NYC now and so I wont be able to attend any of your events for a while so I thought that email was the best way to ask you. Thanks.
Sandra Hi Sandra! Marble magnets are the best craft - easy, fast and they rock the party when you give them out as gifts. Basically you just add a small drop of Elmer's on the back of the CLEAR glass pebble and rub it around the surface to make a thin layer. After you cut out the picture you want to use, place it right side down on the glue. Press it to squeeze out any air bubbles. The Elmer's will dry clear. And then you just hot glue on a sturdy magnet. Color copies or magazine photos work best - studio photos are too thick and won't adhere to the glass. Happy gluing!

This is a great craft! You can use almost endless images, decorative papers etc. The marbles can be made into jewelry, mangets or pushpins. The possiblities are endless.
Hi! I got your message on my blog and I am correcting the problem with no way to contact me. Thanks for visiting me and your work looks great.
Monya About Me
In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
