Autumn Harvest Magnets

This is a great activity to not only celebrate the fall harvest, but to recycle! I gathered this activity from the Garfield Park Conservatory and modified it a bit.

Your supplies.

What you will need to make this project: an old seed catalog or magazine with plentiful fall-themed pictures, clear packing tape, glue stick, strong glue, magnets, old postcards.

You may wish to use laminating paper instead. It works just as well. But I do suggest the hand laminating film (also used for book covers), the heated lamination film would be a bit too heavy I think.

Select photos from the catalog and glue to the postcard.

Cut out the pictures and lay them face down on clear packing tape.

Place a second sheet of tape on the backside to "seal" the pictures.

Glue on magnets. Make sure you use a strong glue.

Regular Elmer's won't work here. Use a strong glue such as Aileen's Tacky glue.

Finished product! Now hang on your fridge to dress up your kitchen for fall.
