Have I said yet that I love Pinterest? Or course I have. There are so many good ideas and projects to be found at the Pinterest boards. Click here to visit Pinterest. Recently I found a project to make for the grandchildren. The directions are so easy. I went to the local craft store and bought three sheets of magnetic paper.

The next stop was a local thrift store…six books for 1.00. I flipped through the books and chose several illustrations that I thought the grandsons would like.

I cut the illustrations out of the books leaving a bit of paper border around each. I brushed a little matte Mod-Podge onto the magnetic sheet and smoothed the illustrations onto the surface, then coated them with another thin and even coat of the Mod-Podge. They were dry in just a few hours. I then cut them out along the outer lines.

They curled up a bit so I weighted them in a large book. Within a few hours they were completely flat and ready to use.

The magnets worked like a dream and bought a big smile to the face of my three year old grandson. Hooray!
