Chipboard Magnets

After getting DD some Melissa and Doug wood animal magnets for Christmas, I thought it would be neat to create some other magnets for her to play with.

I was shopping at the local Michael's for something else, when I saw some packages of chipboard embellishments. DD is big into the Disney Princesses right now. I thought the chipboard looked pretty cool, but did not know what to do them. As I was browsing the aisles, I found some magnetic paper. (Cue lightbulb!)
I rolled some of the magnetic paper out and laid the embellishments on it. When I was satisfied with the size, I removed the paper to expose the adhesive side and laid the embellishments on the magnetic paper. I cut around the embellishments and voila!
