With Fathers&#8217; Day round the corner, you can surprise Daddy with these homemade magnets to display in his office or thank your kids&#8217; teachers on Teachers&#8217; Day. I like the fact that we are recycling jar lids into beautiful magnets, teaching kids the important environmental message of Reuse, Reduce and Recycle! It&#8217;s also a craft where you can put all your selfie shots to good use and print directly from your mobile phones using the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=jp.co.canon.bsd.ad.pixmaprint\" target=\"_blank\">PIXMA Printing Solutions App<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h1><b><span style=\"color: blue;\">Supplies Needed:<\/span><\/b><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li>Jar Lids (recycled from jam\/kaya\/mayonnaise bottles)<\/li>\n<li>Mod Podge and Brush (available at Art Friend)<\/li>\n<li>Mod Podge Dimensional Magic (available at Art Friend)<\/li>\n<li>Photos \u2013 Printed on Canon High Gloss Photo Paper (available at Popular Book Stores)<\/li>\n<li>Round Magnets (available at Art Friend)<\/li>\n<li>Scissors or Circle Puncher (available at The Paper Market and other scrapbook shops)<\/li>\n<li>A tube of super glue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h1><span style=\"color: blue;\"><b>Directions:<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>1. Collect a few wide mouth jar lids . Wash and dry them.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Mag203copy.jpg?resize=319%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\" photo Mag203copy.jpg\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" width=\"319\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/div>\n<p>2. Select digital photos and resize them depending on the size of lids you are going to use. To maximise the A4-sized Canon High Gloss Photo Paper which I had bought, I laid out my photos using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/sg-en\/transaction\/198552903\" target=\"_blank\">2.25&#8243; PSD Circle Template<\/a> which I bought from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/sg-en\/transaction\/198552903\" target=\"_blank\">Etsy<\/a>. P.S. If you need one, I&#8217;ll be happy to email the template to you. Just leave your name and email address in the comment below.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Mag204copy.jpg?resize=319%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\" photo Mag204copy.jpg\" height=\"480\" border=\"0\" width=\"319\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/div>\n<p>3. Print the page with the Canon Pixma Photo Printer.Use a circle punch to trim the photos. If you do not have a circle punch, just cut with scissors.<\/p>\n<p>4. Paint the inside of the jar lid with the Gloss Mod Podge. Stick your photo on it right away and smooth out any bubbles with your fingers. Add a coat of Gloss Mod Podge on top of the photo and let it dry. It will dry clear.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lifestinymiracles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/MagnetCollage3.jpg?resize=480%2C331&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\" photo MagnetCollage3.jpg\" height=\"331\" border=\"0\" width=\"480\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">5. The last step is to apply a generous layer of Mod Podge Dimensional Magic on top of the photo.
