Instructions:
You can make a magnet with photos of your favorite people or pets.

Start out by gluing a strong magnet to the back of the juice can lid.

Cut the photo so it is about a half an inch smaller than the juice can lid. Glue the cut photo onto the front of the juice can lid. Let it dry.

Choose 2 or 3 different colors of dimensional paint. Trace around the picture with dimensional paint. Continue with as many different colors of dimensional paint as you want. Once you have added all of the paint you want, drag the tip of a toothpick through the paint to blend in and make designs.
