Amazing Projects You Can Do With Magnets

When you think of crafting materials, one of the last things that is probably on your mind is a magnet. After all, it is a finished product, is it not? Well, not quite! There are loads of fun projects to be done with magnets. Here are some of our top picks for you this year!

What Is The First Project I Could Tackle With Magnets?

One of the most creative projects involving magnets will speak to those who love flowers or floristry in general, since our first suggestion is a magnetic floral arrangement. Is your fridge looking a little bare? Or do you have another magnetic surface in your home you want to brighten up? Then this is the project for you.

To create some magnetic floral arrangements, you need an open container, some rocks, and small artificial plants. Simply use some glue to arrange the accessories as you want them displayed. Then, place one of our magnets on the back, you can use some glue for this too.

What Is The Second Project I Could Tackle With Magnets?

Do you have a couple of teens running around in your house? Are they constantly changing the posters on their wall? Save yourself some redecorating hassle by creating some magnetic poster frame rails.

To create a poster frame rail, simply take two thin pieces of wood. Place one magnet strip on the inside of each rail. Hang one of the rails on the wall with your favourite mounting method. Then, simply add the poster by clipping the second wood magnet over the poster.

What Is The Third Project I Could Tackle With Magnets?

Our next recommendation is a brilliant project for bookworms, as this project gives you some convenient magnetic bookmarks. The best thing about these bookmarks? They stay in place without much fuss!

To make some magnetic bookmarks, you will require some card stock and embellishments of your choice. Of course, you will also need some magnets.

First, cut the card stock in the appropriate size for your bookmark. Add any additional embellishments such as paper flowers, stickers, or anything else you want to use to give your bookmark more personality. When done, add the magnet to the back of the bookmark. To use the bookmark, simply let the magnet grip the pages of the book.

What Is The Fourth Project I Could Tackle With Magnets?

There are many different types of crafts where you could incorporate magnets. One of the crafts you may not have even considered is jewellery making. Jewellery can be made with almost anything, so you do not have to stick with the usual gems.

One of the ways in which magnets can contribute to better jewellery construction is by using a neodymium magnet to keep the pendant in its place. In some cases, you can even use magnetic edges, which can enable you to pull a pendant apart.

What Is The Final Project I Could Tackle With Magnets?

Another fun project to tackle with our magnets is a magnetic photo or display frame. If you have some valuable items laying around your home, but you would prefer to display them instead of shoving them in a valuables box, this is the thing for you.

To make a magnetic photo or display frame, you will need a sheet of metal that matches the size of the frame you want to create. Then, create a frame (if you love working with wood), or simply buy a frame from Spotlight. Take out the original back and then replace it with the metal sheet.

Naturally, metal is not always the most attractive material. If you do not like the look of metal, you can always cover it with some thin paper or fabric, this can give your display frame an extra dimension.

Now, let us move onto using the magnets. Obtain some of the smaller magnets from Spotlight and use them to mount or hold your valuable items on the display frame. Naturally, you can easily do the same for photographs.

Spotlight offers an amazing selection of magnets, this ranges from basic small magnets to magnet strips and sheets. For more information, check out our extensive catalogue today.
