.......................................

i am SOOO excited about this tutorial. 

i have been planning and thinking about this for a LONG time!

aubrey is obsessed with magnetic dolls and dressing them up.

she is also obsessed with playing dress up herself. 

this is a combination of the two. 

its EASY, CHEAP, and AWESOME!

.................

Pin It

here is how you make it. 

the details:

a tin box - this is a tin pencil case i got in the back to school section 

{see i told you i have been planning this one a while...}

printable magnetic sheets - i got these at walmart - $5 for 3 sheets

{i actually used 2 sets... but i made some mistakes or i would not have used them all}

krylon matte protective finish {you can use whatever finish you want - not just matte}

you can use something different but it cannot be water based 

{aka - NO modpoge, elmers, ect.}

these go right into your inkjet printer.

they make different ones for laser printers so be sure to check what you have.

i took a picture of aubrey in a white shirt against a white background

and printed it right on to the magnetic sheet.

i cut it to fit on the inside of the tin box

then...using word i designed a magnetic cover

and trimed it to fit the top of the tin box

{i was not so into the whole hello kitty front...although aubrey was lol}

now on to the fun part...

using 

ALL FREE PHOTOBOOTH PROPS

{see our ROUND UP of free ones HERE}

{or use some of OUR free ones HERE}

i downloaded the printables from the sites and

printed them 6 to a page on the magnetic sheets

since you printed these on an inkjet printer 

any water will ruin and run the prints.

sealing them with a NONwater based sealer will

protect them & keep them from turning yellow 

this is an important step if you want these to last.

TIP: cut the pages into 6 squares so that each image is seprate

this will help the paper from separating from the magnet and bubbling.

{this was something i learned the hard way!}

once they dry,

cut out the images and there you go!

i can totally see these as party favors!

aubs is in heaven. this kept her busy for hours. 

its packed in the church bag now too - 

its an awesome quiet activity!

happy crafting
