Test your black pen to make sure gel medium doesn't cause it to bleed.<br /><br />2. Draw tiny elephant onto index card. Cut out. Place the tiny stencil onto pretty paper and outline with black pen. Lift stencil and add any necessary lines.<br /><br />3. Gel medium down onto sheet of pretty paper.<br /><br />4. Coat flat side of glass rock with gel medium (I put a fair amount on) and then place so that tiny elephant is in the middle. Push down and jiggle around firmly so that the gel medium evens out.<br /><br />5. Allow to dry thoroughly. (Overnight is your safest bet)<br /><br />6. Carefully cut paper out around the edge of the glass rock.<br /><br />7. Gel medium rock onto a black piece of paper. Allow to dry. Cut out.<br /><br />8. Hot glue a magnet to the back.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_2fm59eX2COg/RqPZKG3fFfI/AAAAAAAAAds/dgkhsfdv85o/s1600-h/elephantmagtutorial.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_2fm59eX2COg/RqPZKG3fFfI/AAAAAAAAAds/dgkhsfdv85o/s400/elephantmagtutorial.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090150771524048370" border="0" /></a><br />Alternate possibilities: use pressed flowers, fabric, tiny pictures, letters, bits from magazines to create a whole assortment of magnets.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2496838054184558480-5360471988097441691?l=craftamortutorials.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kellynoreply@blogger.com0
