Three words: NEON GLITTER MAGNETS (drops the mic).
Just kidding. Mostly.
Do you guys remember POGs? I was telling my co-worker, Josh, about this project yesterday and explaining the size and such of the wood disks I used and he goes, “Oh, so they look like POGs?” YES. Now I can’t stop thinking about glitter POGs. I even had the POG maker that allowed you to cut out anything and stick it to a POG. Perhaps we could bring it back, but for adults. In a way that doesn’t use the large disk to try and flip them over, unless we all want to sit on the floor. Or break tables. Obviously, I need to put a little more thought into this.
This project, however, doesn’t require any more thought! It is super easy, and the best part is that you don’t even need to use JUST glitter, or break any tables. I used some washi tape, but you could use beads, paint, anything that you can stick or glue for this project.
SUPPLIES FOR DIY NEON GLITTER MAGNETS
Glitter in various colors
1.5″ wood disks
Magnets
Super Glue
Washi Tape
Elmers Glue
Old paintbrush
STEP 1
Put a small amount of glue on one side of the disk and spread it into a thin, even layer with your paintbrush. If you would like cover part of the wood, mark off areas with washi tape before you brush on the glue.
STEP 2
Immediately sprinkle with glitter. Wait for 30 seconds and then lightly press down on the glitter to get as much into the glue as possible. Allow to sit until completely dry.
STEP 3
One the front is dry, attach one magnet using super glue to the back. Let dry according to the manufacturers instructions and you have Neon Glitter Magnets!
PS. I haven’t tried this yet, but I would recommend spraying the disks with a clear acrylic sealant once they are dry. Especially if you use glitter! I tried it, do it!
