using free printable photobooth props i created this quiet magnetic doll game using a photo of my daughter – it’s her MAGNETIC ME!

…………………………………

i am SOOO excited about this tutorial.

i have been planning and thinking about this for a LONG time!

aubrey is obsessed with magnetic dolls and dressing them up.

she is also obsessed with playing dress up herself.

this is a combination of the two.

its EASY, CHEAP, and AWESOME!

……………..

here is how you make it.

the details:

a tin box – this is a tin pencil case i got in the back to school section

{see i told you i have been planning this one a while…}

printable magnetic sheets – i got these at walmart – $5 for 3 sheets

{i actually used 2 sets… but i made some mistakes or i would not have used them all}

krylon matte protective finish {you can use whatever finish you want – not just matte}

you can use something different but it cannot be water based

{aka – NO modpoge, elmers, ect.}

these go right into your inkjet printer.

they make different ones for laser printers so be sure to check what you have.

i took a picture of aubrey in a white shirt against a white background

and printed it right on to the magnetic sheet.

i cut it to fit on the inside of the tin box

then…using word i designed a magnetic cover

and trimed it to fit the top of the tin box

{i was not so into the whole hello kitty front…although aubrey was lol}

now on to the fun part…

using

ALL FREE printable PHOTOBOOTH PROPS

{see our ROUND UP of free ones HERE

{or use some of OUR free ones HERE

i downloaded the printables from the sites and

printed them 6 to a page on the magnetic sheets

since you printed these on an inkjet printer

any water will ruin and run the prints.

sealing them with a NONwater based sealer will

protect them & keep them from turning yellow

this is an important step if you want these to last.

TIP: cut the pages into 6 squares so that each image is seprate

this will help the paper from separating from the magnet and bubbling.

{this was something i learned the hard way!}

once they dry,

cut out the images and there you go!

i can totally see these as party favors!

aubs is in heaven. this kept her busy for hours.

its packed in the church bag now too –

its an awesome quiet activity!
