For those who haven't read a post I previously made from the Crafty Group I posted an Instructional Thread that teaches you how to make your own Refridgerator Magnets. so here it is:
Occasionally one of my Hobbies I do is make Refridgerator Magnets but most of them are videogame related stuff, but if you take down the bare basics you can make a fridge magnet out of any image, picture and even a S.G. Sticker.
If you know places that sell flat black sheets of magnetic material at your local arts and crafts store (rite aid at my town sells them.) you can easily put the magnetic part face down on a flat clean surface (the magnetic part is the side that the metal easily is drawn to.) then slap a sticker and carefully cut around the sticker with an exacto knife (if you have lots of skill and precision.) and you can easily proudly slap an S.G. logo on your fridge. the Tricky part is to make sure you got the magnetic side facing down and not to cut yourself.
Another step is to make sure the amount of magnetic material you have is the appropriate space for the Image your placing on the magnet, some of the ones I've made I carefully secured the Image with crazy glue and then cut around the edges for longevity. Some Easy-Stick magnet material kits may already have an adhesive part that's face-up it to make your job even easier so I recommend those as a good start for beginners if you just want to carefully slap a sticker on the sticky part that's face-up and then cut around the edges.
These are Magnets I've created, mostly out of Images from the computer or random stickers I've gotten from a couple ebay deals. The S.G. magnet I made was out of a sticker I got courtesy of Issue_.
I hope this helps some of you in how to make your own fridge magnet and Thank you.
