Like many little boys, my boys love super heroes! Batman has been especially popular at our house since the Lego Movie came out. My son even had a super hero themed birthday party a few years ago. When I saw these free printable super hero stickers at Great Kids Birthday Parties I immediately pinned them. I knew they would come in handy for something fun sometime . . . I just didn't know what yet.
As I was helping my kids come up with ideas for gifts they could make their siblings this year for Christmas I remembered these super hero stickers and realized they would be perfect for making some fun homemade magnets.
To make the magnets we printed off the stickers we wanted (I had to shrink them down a bit to fit our stones) and cut them out. We then used a thin layer of modge podge to glue the super hero images to the glass stones (like I did here). I've stocked up on glass stones from SSC Supplies. I love the size and uniformity of their stones. They come in handy for so many things that I like to always have a few around. Last year I used them to make these pendant necklaces.
We then added a magnet to the back of the stones using some hot glue and they were ready to wrap and put under the tree. I love how they turned out! I'm kind of tempted to make a few more . . .
