This magnet project is a perfect addition to your Halloween decorations. You can turn leaves into little magnetic ghosts! Supplies:- Fall leaves
- White paint
- Black paint
- Paint brushes
- Small neodymium magnets for crafts
- Superglue
- Old newspaper
- First, gather some fallen leaves from trees. You can find a variety of shapes and sizes of leaves to use for this project.
- Next, spread out the old newspaper. The newspaper is just to make sure you don’t get paint on any important surfaces.
- Take your leaf collection and spread them on the newspaper.
- Using your paint supplies, paint the leaves white.
- When the white paint is dry, use the black paint to make the ghost faces. Usually, ghost faces are two small holes for eyes and one for the mouth but feel free to get creative!
- After you’re done painting your ghosts, use the glue to attach the neodymium magnets to the back of the leaves.
