Valentines Day Button Magnents

The girls and I decided to start the week out by crafting.  So here is our Monday craft.  Today we made Valentines Day button magnents to give to Grandma and Grandpa for Valentines Day.  They came out really nice.


You will need:
buttons of your choice
hot glue gun
magnent circles for the back

So here are some words of wisdom after completing the project.  Make sure to have everything alligned the way you would like it to be, becuase once the kids stick the button in the hot glue...that is it, it is not moveable.  I wanted Paula to help out, but that also meant accepting that they were not always centered perfectly.  Also, when buying your magnent backings, it does make a different how strong the magnent is.  I didn't know this, and just bought the only pack that was at JoAnn Fabrics, and it won't hold much.  I think it will have to be basically a decoration and next time we make these we will venture out for better magnents.
