6. Clay Magnets

Clay magnets are simple and fun to make, ideal for beginners. You will need air dry clay, rolling pin, small cookie cutters, magnets, glue, and paint. Roll out the clay to a thin, even sheet. Cut out small shapes like stars, animals, or hearts using cutters or a knife. Let the shapes dry completely for 24 hours.

After drying, paint the clay shapes and allow the paint to dry. Attach small magnets to the back using strong craft glue. Your magnets are now ready to decorate refrigerators, lockers, or offices. This project encourages creativity with small shapes and designs, and it can be completed in an afternoon. Clay magnets are inexpensive, customizable, and great as gifts or personal keepsakes.
