I ordered some marble magnets from www.prettyoriginals.etsy.com. I plan to make these one day for fun, but in the meantime I wanted to see some well-made marble magnets up close, and also to have them to adorn my fridge and all the various preschool calendars, kid pictures and other things a fridge collects. These little magnets are so cute and the magnets sticks well and holds even the thickest paper to the fridge. I know some people are minimalist and prefer not to have a fridge covered in papers and clutter, but we are not that house. And these magnets are perfect. Fast shipping as well, almost immediate gratification. She also makes jewelry, gift tins and other assorted fun little beauties.

I want to make some magnets like that. Where do you get the marbles from? Like Michaels?

Don’t go to Micheals, They don’t have anything worth trying to make decent magnets. Here are a bunch: http://www.allstarco-store.com/shopping/clear_cabochons.htm?gclid=CP-hqKf_ppYCFQIWFQodfkuT6g
Just search “clear cabochons” on Etsy or Google. But I know you can order all the supplies on Etsy.
Here are some great instructions:
