I plan on using mine for a commitment chart that corresponds with our district wide discipline program. 

Here is what you will need for this project:

Scrapbook paper

Clear glass marbles with a flat back

Glue (I used E6000)

Modpodge

Round magnets

Step 1:

Trace marbles on the back of your scrapbook paper.

Step 2:

Cut out traced circles.

Tip: make sure to cut them out smaller so they fit onto the back of the marble without overlapping its edge.

Step 3: 

Place drop of glue on flat part of marble.

Spread glue out. (I used my finger)

Step 4: 

Set cut out circle of scrapbook paper face down onto glue.

Turn marble over.

Press down to get out air bubbles and adhere paper.

Step 5:

Allow paper to set into glue. I let mine sit for about an hour.

TakeModpodge and brush over edges of scrapbook paper.

Let the Modpodge dry. Mine sat for about 3 hours.

Step 6:

Place glue on one side of magnet.

Spread with finger.

Press onto scrapbook paper on back of marble.

Let the glue set. 

Mine set over night.

Step 7:

Depending on what you want to do with the magnets, you may be done at this point.

I took a paint pen and wrote numbers on each.

At this point you are officially done!
