Fabric-Covered Magnets

Jessica Jones had the original idea for fabric-covered thumbtacks. (See blog tutorial here). They are so cute, we couldn't help but expand on the theme to fabric-covered magnets!
fabric covered magnets
  • Put your button together according to the package instructions and hot glue gun a magnet to the back.
  • I used 2 sizes of You Cover Buttons for these magnets: Size 36 (7/8"), 45 (1 1/8"). The magnet will not fit on anything smaller than a 36, but you can go bigger.
  • I literally used fabric scraps. I love the way the fabric changes on such a small surface- sometimes the bigger prints became the most interesting.
  • If you use the Flat back You Cover Buttons, you don't have to remove the wire-eye back.
To make your own magnets, get your supplies below:
  • You Cover Buttons- The kits include the holder and pusher (for assembling the buttons). If you use the Flat back buttons you don't have to take the wire eyes off.
  • Magnets
  • Bag of Fabric- a huge variety of little scraps perfect for button making.
  • Glue Gun
