    For a great gift idea, package these paper-decorated magnets in a plastic sleeve.

    Materials:

    One to four 5" x 8" magnetic sheets with adhesive backing
    Assorted art papers or fabrics (figure A)
    Spray can of acrylic clearcoat
    Craft knife
    Steel-edge ruler
    Cutting board
    Magnetic surface for display

    1. Peel protective backing from adhesive magnets.

    2. Attach face down to wrong side of the paper (figure B).

    3. Cut paper to edge of magnet sheet.

    4. Burnish paper to seal adhesive.

    5. Spray with acrylic clearcoat to protect.

    6. Cut magnet sheets into different sizes and shapes -- squares, triangles and strips are the easiest.

    7. Mix and match on a magnetic surface.

    Tip: Spray clearcoat outdoors on newspaper or in a spray box with adequate ventilation.

    Products: Supplies can be found at a craft store.
