DIY Autumn Magnets
Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and of course, festive decorations! This year, why not add a touch of homemade charm to your fridge with some adorable Thanksgiving-themed magnets?
These DIY projects are perfect for all ages and skill levels, making them a fun activity for the whole family. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Turkey Magnets:
- Classic Felt Turkey: Cut out felt shapes for a turkey body, feathers, wattle, and beak. Glue them onto a cardboard base and attach a small disc magnet (like 12 x 2mm disc) to the back. (Image inspiration: Think colorful construction paper turkeys from kindergarten!)
- Cork & Feather Turkey: Glue three wine corks together in a triangle for the body. Add feathers and googly eyes for a whimsical touch. Secure a small disc magnet to the back of one of the corks. (12 x 2mm disc magnet would work well).
Leaf Magnets:
- Nature's Bounty: Collect colorful fall leaves and press them flat. Once dry, glue them onto small disc magnets (7mm x 1mm). You can personalize them further by writing "Thankful For" on the leaf with a paint pen.
Miniature Pumpkin Magnets:
- Clay Creations: Mold orange air-dry clay into small pumpkins. Once dry, paint details like eyes and a smile. Attach a small disc magnet (around 1/2" diameter x 1/16" thick) to the back.
