Instructions

Magnets

  • Lay out fabric and trace gems onto it.

  • Cut around the gem in a small square.
    NB: The separate pieces are easier to work with than several gems on one piece of fabric.

  • Optional: Fuse interfacing or fleece to the back of the precut squares on the wrong side of the fabric for a finished look that won't fray when you cut it.

  • Cut out circles around gems.

  • Use a toothpick to apply glue to the right side of the fabric, a medium-sized dot in the center of each circle.

    NB: Be sure to work out as many glue bubbles as possible.

  • With craft glue or glue gun, attach magnets to the back of gems.

  • Place right side up to dry.
