These DIY glitter magnets are surprisingly easy to make. Imagine making some for your child’s locker for back to school, as homemade holiday gifts or as just a fun project. This nail polish craft is also a fun project for kids of all ages, including teens. Since you can find virtually any color of nail polish you can imagine, it would be easy to design colorful color schemes. Jamie Satterwaite has once again shared a super easy craft!
Imagine switching them out during different holidays. Red, white and blue for patriotic holidays. Orange, purple and black for Halloween. Red, green, silver and gold for Christmas. Red, pink and white for Valentine’s Day. I could go on and on!

The magnetic squares will probably need to be cut down to fit the pebbles.
Directions:
Flip your glass pebbles so that they are flat side up. Paint the flat side with nail polish. If using a clear polish that is glittery, you will also need a coordinating solid color so that the magnet does not show through.
After first coat is dry apply a second coat and allow to dry. Apply a clear coat to each pebble to prevent chipping and allow to dry.
Once all of the polish is dry, cut magnetic tape down to size and apply to the flat side of each pebble.
They also have colored ones they sell in bags at are local dollar store, so you wouldn’t have to paint them at all. I love this idea, easy to make and great way to add character to the fridge or anything else.
Those are so pretty! This would be nice to make so I have cute magnets to hang up my grandson’s work from school.
Such a simple project with such nice results. My girls are really going to enjoy making these. And my husband is probably going to wonder where the refrigerator is under all those shiny baubles.
how cute,my granddaughters would love making these with me
What a great idea!
SO easy! I wonder if the adhesive on the magnetic tape would be strong enough at my house, my girls play with the magnets at least once a day. This makes a great DIY christmas gift idea.
This looks like so much fun! My daughter would love to make the DIY glitter magnets!
These are so simple and yet so cute. These would be fun to make.
These are so cute. Most magnets I see are so ugly I won’t use them. I’d love to do this!
