5 sheets 5x8 inch self adhesive magnet sheets (found at the dollar store)
fabric (i used fat quarters)
scissors
exacto knife
mod podge
paint brush to brush mod podge
1. to get a template for the letters, open a Word document. type a-z in the font titled "arial black" make it bold, and size 225. set your margins to "narrow" so more letters can be on each page.
2. cut letters out using scissors
3. cut fabric to fit sheets of magnets. take paper off of the magnet and stick fabric to the sticky stuff. 4. place letter on top, while holding it with your hand, cut around each letter. for letters with holes in the middle, use an exacto knife to cut.
5.when you are completely finished step 4 with all the letters. lay letters out on wax paper. begin brushing a thin layer of mod podge on the letters one at a time making sure to go right to the edge. let air dry for 10-15 minutes. place on any magnetic surface and you are done!

What a cute idea...where do you find such cute things? I can't wait to give this a try and then hopefully give these away as gifts for nieces and nephews birthdays this year. We'll have to see how they turn out though...haha.
Sounds fun...I am gonna give it a shot. My 2 year old could use the practice. Maybe I could get some fun fabrics that she likes...thanks again!
cute! but I think it's time you post more pictures of your kids! I want to see them! haha
what a a good tutorial, i hate those plastic thick letters. I'll have to try it out. Thanks again ;)
Oooh, this is such a cute idea! I'm going to have to try making some of these for my girls.
I love this idea, so cute!
So cute
Two things I'm obsessed with... 1. Mod Podge! It is pretty amazing stuff. and 2. These letters! So so so cute. I think I'll be trying them this week.
-it was so fun to find you on here... cute cute cute family, and you look better than ever.
What a cool idea, one I've never seen before! I have to make some of these :).
Cute letters!! I'm a high school teacher and I did these instead of punch out letters that are made for elementary classrooms. They look great and make my room look a little more grown up :)
Great idea! I will definitely be making these for my 3 year-old, in colors that actually coordinate with my house!
Such a cute I idea!! This would be a lovely addition to our fridge!! :)
I'm SO doing this! They just don't make the plastic magnetic alphabet letters like they used to! They aren't strong enough to stay on the fridge... and they end up UNDER the fridge at my house! Thanks for sharing!!!
