Little Gifts: Mini Polaroid Picture Tile Magnets

By Jill Parkin • Published: Sep 15, 2011 · Updated: May 15, 2013

i had some tile squares left over from fixing up our house. i was deciding whether to return them to the store, when i got the idea to pull them apart and make some mini polaroid pictures out of the 1" tiles. then i thought....how about making them into magnets to put on my fridge.  so there you have it. thats how i created polaroid picture tile magnets!

i am so happy with how they turned out. i just recently got some fabulous pictures of my boys by one of my good friends and uber talented photographer Tonya Joy, and what a fun way to display some of them on my refrigerator.

now i am for sure going to make some more sets of these for gifts this holiday season. i've been thinking up some creative packaging ideas. i think everyone will love them. super easy. super inexpensive. but oh so super cute!

wanna make some of your own?!?!
Mini Polaroid Picture Tile Magnets:
what you need:
• 1" white tiles (i got mine for $2.49 per sheet at Home Depot, it made 25 magnets)
• photos printed out on photo paper or cardstock
• ¾" magnets
• Mod Podge (or other all-in-one glue, sealer and finish)
• E-6000 industrial strength adhesive
directions:
• prepare 1" tiles by scraping any glue off of the back and sides. (old scissors did the trick)
• glue magnet to the back of each tile with E-6000 industrial strength adhesive. let dry.
• cut your photos out to size ¾" by ⅝"
• brush Mod Podge on the back of each photo and glue onto the top of each of your tile magnets. let dry.
• brush Mod Podge over the top of the photo and entire top of each tile to seal photo. let dry
• whala! you now have polaroid picture tile magnets!
