Easy DIY Halloween Fridge Magnets: Rock Monsters
Halloween may not be for another month but that doesn’t mean that you can’t start bringing out the spooky decorations now! Although Halloween or All Hallow’s Eve began as a Celtic holiday marking the end of the harvest season, today it is more commonly celebrated as a time for wearing costumes, eating candy and decorating with monsters, ghouls and the like. If you love doing crafts for the scariest holiday of the year, here are a few DIY magnet projects to try out.
Monster Magnets
Supplies
- Googly Eyes
- Clay or Smooth, Round Rocks
- Paint
- Glue
- Neodymium Magnets - We suggest a 12mm x 3mm disc magnet, but this will depend on the size and shape of the rocks you chose. Just be sure your magnet is above a pull force of 6lbs.
Steps
- Clean any excess dirt off of your rocks to prep them for painting.
- Use some newspaper or disposable plates and place your rocks onto it. Using a paintbrush, begin to paint your rocks until they are completely covered.
- Set on the paper and allow to dry.
- Once dry, take your googly eyes and glue them on the rock and take a black permanent marker and draw a mouth. You can also paint on some sharp, scary teeth with some white paint.
- Wait for the glue and paint to dry. Then flip your rock monster over and attach neodymium magnets to each monster’s back with glue. Make sure to press down for a few seconds, so that it sticks.
