I made these snowflake ornaments. They're basically a wooden snowflake, painted white, and embellished with little do-dads. Add a ribbon and BAM, quick ornaments!  They'd look pretty as magnets as well.

The spider is not anatomically correct, it only has 6 legs.   I tried to fit 8 in and it just got bulky.

Tutorial is on my blog.

Thanks so much, they are so addicting to make.  Esp. since I LOVE pumpkins!!!

So here is one more:  A mini one.

Here is a new one, a round paper mache box, snow flake on top and sliver gems on the sides.  Sorry for the photos haven't figured out a way to take a good pic of the box just yet.

I am not sure if I like the glossy look with the navy blue.  It just seems to make it so dark...I might try a matte modge podge later on if I decide to continue to make 'em...dunno just yet.

Here is the updated one with tinsel on it and then another one I made:

I love 'em!  I was so excited about 'em that i made 2 of my own!!!  The glue is still wet on the stems which are brown packaging paper.  And I chose black thread to contrast the orange, I personally like how it looks.

Here is the side shot of the box:  It closes magnetically.

Here is the top of the snow flake box I am making.  It is just the top, but the bottom will just be the navy blue color.  The snow flake is painted white with some diamond dust and blue gem stones as accents.

Enjoy!

Here is a bigger design of something I've made on magnets before.  I think it turned out well.  It is a heart shaped box on it's humps that has been turned into a Christmas Tree.  Next time I need some glossy Mode Podge (all I had was some wood glue, which it's basically all the same, but something glossy might look better).  I am working on a second design with a snow flake instead of a tree.

Just curious, would it be something that would interested you as a gift/item to buy?  (Hope I am following TOS by asking this, I have no shop for it and am not selling them.  If not please delete.)

Enjoy!

(Oh the top side is the lid and the bottom is just all green, I'll grab a side shot.)

They're shaped wonky for hearts but I am trying lol!
