Web Wednesday: Kids-Can-Make Mod Podge Magnets
 One of the easiest projects kids can create is a magnet. Luckily with Mod Podge, making magnets can be quick and easy. We recently debuted tons of new Mod Podge products this summer, all of which make crafting with Mod Podge more exciting. Have your kids try out some of these new items, but creating these mod podge magnets. Jill from Made it on Monday had her kids make the magnets above. This is a great school project for teachers to have their students create, or have your kids make these after school. Have your kids create a personalized magnet with their names on it. To see how Jill made this project click here, and leave a comment below if you have made any magnet projects lately.
