7/1-Getting Hybrid
Hi everyone! Melissa, profiler_mar here, and I am so excited to be hosting my first getting hybrid challenge! I always think it is fun to look for ways to use everyday items in different ways, or to use items we would normally just toss in the trash. So for this challenge I decided to make my own magnets! You can do this in a lot of ways, but I went with bottle cap magnets, because they are so cute! So first we will need:
*6 bottle caps
*magnetic strips that are adhesive on one side
*pop dots
*a one inch circle punch
Step 1: Create six 1-inch diameter circles, decorate with digi paper and elements, and print. I use PSE, so I selected the custom shape tool, and at the top, underneath the menu bar, I selected the shape I wanted, which was a circle. Click on the shape icon and chose “fixed size”, then enter 1 in x 1 in. When you go over to your document and click, it will drop the shape onto your page in that exact size.
Step 2: Using your circle punch, punch out the circles.
Step 3: Cut the magnets to fit the flat side of the bottle caps, and adhere them to the caps.
Step 4: Place a pop-dot inside each bottle cap.
Step 5: Adhere the circles to the pop-dots and voila, you are done!
Here are my finished magnets, using Bloomin’ Mini from Chelle’s Creations:
