pixie dust to our project, so for a few magnets we added glitter around the edge of the stones.\u00a0 If you do this, make sure only the edges are covered with glitter so later you can glue the magnet on a smooth surface. \u00a0Add one more layer of Mod Podge on top of the glitter after the glitter is dry.<\/p>\n<p>Tip:\u00a0 When working with glitter, put the Mod Podge in a cup so glitter does not get into your Mod Podge container.<\/p>\n<p>Again, wait a couple of hours to let this dry before continuing with the next step.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a

Tacky Glue or a glue gun to attach your magnets. \u00a0<\/strong>We encountered a small mishap with this step. \u00a0At first, we set the finished magnets too close to each other. \u00a0We may have used too much glue, too. \u00a0The magnets were drawn to neighboring magnets, so we had to space them away from each other during the drying process. \u00a0Allow the magnets to dry completely before using them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Gluing-magnets-to-glass-stones.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

were enjoyable to make, and I love the way that the images are magnified under the glass!\u00a0 \u00a0This would be a good craft to do with kids during summer vacation, or just for fun any time.\u00a0 The magnets with glitter added some sparkle to the finished product and turned out great!\u00a0 Using the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom cards turned out well, too.\u00a0 In addition to adding a touch of Disney to your refrigerator, the magnets could be used as party favors, small gifts, or as fish extenders for the Disney Cruise Line. \u00a0We give a big thank you to Erin Glover and the Disney Parks Blog for inspiring us to show our Disney Side with these magnets!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
