Flower Magnets

During the school day I am constantly searching for magnets to hang things on my whiteboard. I don't have much wall space in my classroom, so I have to put a lot of anchor charts on my board and change them throughout the day.

When I went to the store to go buy some hanging magnets, I remembered that I saw some adorable flower magnets a while ago on Pinterest. These made the whiteboard look like a beautiful flower garden! It's the little things that make you happy, and each time I look at these I can't help but smile!

Here's what to do:
 1. Buy plain magnet discs. These can be found at a variety of places.
 2. Flower Embellishments- I used Prima Flowers. These are absolutely gorgeous. They are used in scrapbooks, but I have used them for so many different projects. They can be a little pricey, but with your craft store coupon they are completely worth it. I've had this large jar forever.  
 3. Now you are ready for the fun part! These flowers are meant to be layered, so start putting together different combinations. I usually layer three at a time- a small medium, and large. Place a dab of hot glue on the center of each flower- a dot will do! Then glue your whole flowers to the magnets.
 And that's it! The easiest way to add a little special something to your classroom!
 What you'll need:
*magnet discs
*flower embellishments
*hot glue gun

Look at that gorgeous flower garden!
