Wallpaper Jewelry and Kitchen Magnets

You can make beautiful jewelry and kitchen magnets using wallpaper!

You will need: Motif

  • Wallpaper
  • A piece of light cardboard
  • Craft Glue
  • Exacto knife or sharp scissors
  • Wax paper and heavy books
  • High gloss acrylic jewelry glaze
  • Small magnet or pin clasp
Roughly cut out a motif from the wallpaper. Glue it securely to a piece of light cardboard. Dry flat by pressing under a stack of heavy books (you can put a piece of wax paper over it to prevent sticking from any glue that might ooze out...)

Use cardboard...

When dry, trim close around motif with exacto blade or small, sharp scissors. Coat with 3 or more coats of a high gloss acrylic jewelry glaze, then glue a magnet or pin clasp to the back. They really have the appearance of costly enameled jewelry!
