Kids love to see their own name, and with this craft they can make some really effective magnets to display their own artwork on the fridge – or to give as a gift to siblings or for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or Grandparent’s Day.
What you need:
- Modelling clay (such as Fimo) in assorted colors
- Craft magnets
- Strong glue
What to do:
- Roll some clay to a thick sausage in your hands and shape in to the letters of your chosen name – your child’s, or the name of the recipient of the gift.
- Decorate the letters by mixing two different colored clays together to create a marbled effect, or using scraps of another color to make dots or strips to press on to a letter.
- Bake the clay following the manufacturer’s instructions. When hard and cool use strong glue to attach a magnet to the back.
