Magnets

~So this is the first of many posts on our blog, which if you couldn't tell is going to be about crafts and things related to crafts.  So we hope you enjoy all the things we create and have fun while you explore all the stuff that springs up from our imagination!~

This first post is all about magnets! We needed magnets for our refrigerator! Our process and supplies are pretty basic.  We used polymer clay to make the magnets and we were pretty much inspired by random things.  We just wanted everything to be super cute!  After we sculpted and baked our little creations, we painted on the details using acrylic paint.  To make everything super shiny we used a spray on gloss, which apparently is a big no-no!  Spray glazes make polymer clay super sticky!!!!!! But thanks to this wonderful blog by Cindy Lietz we found the solution to our finishing problems!! We are so thankful to have found the help we needed!  Anyways after all of this we used epoxy glue to glue the clay to round magnets. So now on to the magnets!!!! 

These are the yummy food magnets
