  Step 1

  I went with the smallest images I could find. Some of the little images from the activity pages I'm gonna use for jewelry.

• 

  Step 2

  Today I went with a Jellyfish.

• 

  Step 3

  First I colored him in.

• 

  Step 4

  Then I modge podge him.

• 

  Step 5

  After he's dried, cut him out.

• 

  Step 6

  Modge podge him to some thin cardboard or cardstock. If your working with really thin cardboard like I was, then you can modge podge the back too.

• 

  Step 7

  Once the podge is dried, then cut Mr. Jellyfish out again.

• 

  Step 8

  I added a little more modge podge around the cut edges. Just to make sure he's fully waterproof. lol, waterproof jellyfish.

• 

  Step 9

  After he's dried, then I fished out my magnets. I got these off the backs of notepads that go on the fridge. But you can sacrifice old magnets, or buy magnets sheets at the craft stores. Just to make sure I was gluing to the right side of the magnets, I stuck them to my fridge and marked the right sides with a silver sharpie.

• 

  Step 10

  I cut this strip in half.

• 

  Step 11

  Added a little glue to the back. And stuck it to the back of jellyfish. I wold put the glue on the back of the cardboard. I noticed the glue dried really quickly if I applied it to the magnet first.

• 

  Step 12

  And your done. He's sitting on my bed post.

• 

  Step 13

  They may not be bats, skulls or even spiders, but they're still the cutest magnets ever! And I just have to wait four months till Halloween...

I never thought of taking images from colouring books, that is a very interesting idea.
