4th of July Magnets
By Candie Cooper
The 4th of July commemorates the birth of our nation. Show your patriotism and love with these
shining star
magnets. Here's how to make them:
Base coat each of the stars with red, white and blue Apple Barrel paints. You can paint the
big star
one color and the small star a contrasting color.
Sponge painting is a really easy way to add fun effects to your painting. I cut up a
sea sponge
into small pieces (about the size of a golf ball). Dip the sponge into paint and then blot it around on a scrap surface until most of the paint is removed. Now it is ready to be dabbed on the star!
It's also fun to leave a few stars solid and paint them with red, turquoise, or hologram Extreme Glitter to add sparkle.
Seal each star with a coat of glossy
Mod Podge
. This will make all your stars shiny and sealed. You can also glue the
little star
on top of the big star with Mod Podge.
Embellish the stars with metallic
pipe cleaners
twirled into coils, ribbons, sequins and buttons.
Use a thick
tacky glue
to adhere the embellishments. Use a weight, like the extreme glitter jar to hold the coils in place while the glue sets up.
Finish by gluing a magnet to the back of the star with the tacky glue, and perhaps adding the month and year with a
permanent marker
.
