Instructions:
This kit makes 6 complete magnets. The directions below show you how to make 1, just make the other 5 in the same manner.
- Using a pair of wire cutters, cut a length of ball chain that is 30 balls long.
-
Using a piece of wire or toothpick as an applicator, run a line of E6000 glue along the inside rim of the flattened bottle cap (colored side). Place your ball chain into this glue path so that it wraps all the way around. Place some E6000 glue on the backside of one of your tempered glass round cabochons with image and then flip it over so that it sits in the middle of the colored side of the bottle cap. Let dry.
-
Place a dab of E6000 on one side of a 3/4" magnet and then center it on the backside of your bottle cap from above. Let dry.
-
Make 5 more magnets following the same steps.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
