Memorabilia Magnets Project Step by Step

My husband loves music so we've been to several concerts through the years we've been together and he keeps all his ticket stubs. All of them. They're all laid out downstairs in his office. A couple of years ago I looked at his collection and thought there had to be a better way of displaying them. That's when I thought up this magnet idea. I'm not so sure he thinks it's better per se, (he's a man of few words where my crafting is concerned) but he has mentioned that he likes them. That says a lot. :) I really enjoy having them on the fridge as a little reminder of things past. It's also a great conversation starter.

A sample of how this works-
visitor: "So you saw The Producers with it's original cast on Broadway?" me: "we did- how did you know?" ;)

The project itself is so easy I hesitate to call it a tutorial, but I took the photos so I decided I might as well do it up as a step by step. This same idea could be used for all kinds of memorabilia. Say you have your child's handprint in paint. You could follow the same instructions below and make customized hand print magnets. To adjust the size of whatever item you'd like to use make a photocopy reducing it in size.

Memorabilia Magnets Project

Tools and Materials
Old ticket stubs or other memorabilia
Adhesive Backed Sheet of Magnet Material
Scissors
Pen

Step One: On the paper side of your magnet sheet trace your memorabilia of choice.

Step Two: Cut along this line

Step Three: Remove paper backing to expose adhesive

Step Four: Carefully place your ticket stub or memorabilia on the magnet

Step Five: Using a slight pressure smooth your item down to get all over adhesion to magnet sheet.







OK that was so ridiculously simple I'm really amazed at myself for thinking I needed to step it out (into 5 steps!!!). But it's done and I have one more fabulous, fantastic, personalized, one of a kind memorabilia magnet and you have pics to show you how to do it too. Enjoy:)
