This week, I did handle to knock out some teacher's gifts (probably because they solely took close 10 minutes to make). I used an cheap drinking glass ornamentation as well as atomic unwrap 26 filings to brand a fun piddling desktop magnet game. Bonus: I was able to utilization some leftover walnut scraps from my DIY Candy Dispenser.

Materials List:

Check out the video for the amount build, as well as continue scrolling for a few to a greater extent than tips close the process.

I started alongside a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 3/4" block of wood. I used walnut, simply you lot could utilization anything you'd like. Basically, it's a foursquare slice of 1 x 3.

Since the ornamentation I used is round, I grabbed a small-ish drinking drinking glass to concur it upright piece I filed it alongside atomic unwrap 26 filings.

I went alongside my standby RapidFuse all-purpose adhesive to concur the ornamentation to the forest block as well as the magnet to the dowel. Rapid fuse bonds to almost whatever surface, including the slick drinking glass as well as shiny magnet.

Like I mentioned before, fourth dimension is valuable this fourth dimension of year. I didn't receive got fourth dimension to sit down around waiting for gum to dry. The matter I honey the most about RapidFuse is the fact that it sets inwards thirty seconds as well as is fully cured inwards thirty minutes.

Guys! I inadvertently discovered the greatest icon hack ever! Remember DAP BlueStik Reusable Putty? That glutinous bluish materials your quaternary flat instructor would utilization to stick papers to the chalkboard?

When it came fourth dimension to spray lacquer onto the wood, including the tiny dowel pieces, the BlueStik came inwards real handy. I needed a agency to concur the ity-bity pieces into a fighting block thence they wouldn't ringlet away. Especially 1 time I added the magnets, the dowels wanted to ringlet as well as describe into each other. I took a pocket-size piddling dab of the BlueStik putty on the bottom side of each dowel, as well as placed it on the fighting block. It held perfectly, as well as was easily removable (with no residue) 1 time the complete was dry.

This projection was thence easy! It's a dandy beginner projection that tin sack live on made alongside express tools.

I've been wanting to play alongside neodymium (or "rare Earth") magnets for a long time. I mean, expect at the cool shapes the atomic unwrap 26 filings tin sack make. This 1 looks almost similar a tiny upside-down Christmas tree.
