Tiny Polaroid Magnets

"Project of the Week " 4
 Inspired by Pinterest 

You will need:
Stiff white cardstock or cardboard (I used foam board)
White Paint Marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white)
Craft knife
Metal straight edge/ruler
Clear packing tape (optional)
Spray mount
Adhesive-backed Magnet Strip
Photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop (or pic monkey has a polaroid frame already available to you!)
Photo paper
Printer

Step 1:
Go to Picmonkey.com upload your photo. Add the polaroid frame, add words or art if you desire. Save picture to computer.

Step 2:
Print out photos onto photo paper. (I inserted the pictures in a word document. I then formatted the picture to the size I wanted and copy and pasted so I could print multiples that were the same size. (About 1 ½ inch x 1 ½ inches)

Step 3:
Spray the back of your sheet of photos and also the cardboard/cardstock with spray mount. Let each dry a minute before mounting the photos to the cardstock. If you want to protect your images, lay down pieces of clear packing tape on top of polaroid’s, thus laminating it. This part can be tricky. Go slowly and maybe laminate only one or two Polaroid’s at a time.

Step 4:
Trim out photos with craft knife. I strongly recommend starting with a fresh blade! Use the metal ruler/straight-edge as a guide for your knife. If you’re cardboard is kraft, use the white opaque marker and color in the edges.

Step 5:
Cut out magnets pieces from off the roll, each piece the same length as the polaroid’s. Attach magnets to back of each individual Polaroid.

Enjoy!
