I Painted a Quilt Block Magnet !
 

https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png Our guild had a class Saturday on How to make a quilt block magnet.

The magnet was 4" square and was supplied by the teacher. It was a recycled magnet that came free on the back of phone books...remember those? The magnet was painted white for the background. We drew our block with a pencil and painted inside the lines...hard to do on a 4" size. We used acrylic paint.

We had to use a toothpick to get in tight places. I used a thin tip marker to draw the black lines after painting. I went a bit heavy on the mod podge as the last step. I wish I had painter's tape to keep the lines sharp.

Oh, that’s neat. Good way to reuse them!

What a great idea! Thanks for posting.

Recycle, reuse and enjoy!

Great idea! I just peeled a magnet off of the new phonebook!

Very nice. I like it!

What a cute idea for recycling!

That turned out really well ! Would be good practice for making a large Barn Quilt.

OH I love that! good work. I took a tole painting class when i moved up to Colorado. just to keep my sanity. went on to oils, then quilting. Quilting won!
