Tiny Polaroid Magnets
April 4, 2011
Hi there! It’s felt like forever since I’ve last blogged, and has felt like an eternity since I’ve done anything crafty and nifty. Since my morning sickness has gone into full speed (yes, we’re expecting our third this fall!) I haven’t felt like myself. But nothing like inspiration to wake one out of a reverie — or nightmare, in my constantly sick state.
I came across these DIY Pantone chip magnets on How About Orange and wanted to do something similar. The idea of mini Polaroids dotting my fridge sounded cute to me.
You will need:
Cardboard (mine was the backing of a sketchbook — much thicker than the back of a regular spiral bound notebook) or 2-3 sheets of white cardstock or poster board spray-mounted together to use as a sturdy backing to the magnets
Opaque white marker (necessary only if your cardboard is not white)
Craft knife
Metal straight edge/ruler
Clear packing tape or frisk film. Optional. Alternatively, you could use a paper glaze if your photo printout doesn’t bleed when wet. My printer inkjet photos ran and I ruined my first batch using the glaze. Test first!
Spray mount
1″ wide adhesive-backed magnet tape or a more costly, but stronger option
Photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop (or Pixlr, an online photo editing program — thanks Angie!)
Photo paper
Printer
Step 1:
Download a Photoshop file of the Polaroid frames below. The magnet dimensions are slightly larger than my examples photographed above because cutting them that tiny was a pain in the rear. Within Photoshop, drop in your photographs in the designated folder, behind the Polaroid frame layer. Scale down your photos to fit within the tiny frames. If you need help with the Photoshop part, Britta from the Housenotes has posted a tutorial on how to place your images in the template (my template download is at the end of post). Thank you Britta!
Step 2:
Print out photos onto photo paper.
Step 3:
Spray the back of your sheet of photos and also the cardboard with spray mount. Let each dry a minute before mounting the photos to the cardstock. If you want to protect your images, lay down pieces of clear packing tape/frisk film on top of Polaroids, thus laminating it. This part can be tricky. Go slowly and maybe laminate only one or two Polaroids at a time. Alternatively, you can use a paper glaze if your printer inks don’t run when wet. Test first!
Step 4:
Trim out photos with craft knife. I strongly recommend starting with a fresh blade! Use the metal ruler/straight-edge as a guide for your knife. I always have more success doing multiple, shallow cuts until everything is cut through.
If your cardboard is kraft like mine above, use the white opaque marker (I like the ones in Martha Stewart’s craft line) and color in the edges. Next time I do this, I will use white heavy cardstock instead, to avoid having to color the edges.
Step 5:
Cut out magnets pieces from off the roll, each piece the same length as the Polaroids. Attach magnets to back of each individual Polaroid.
Step 6:
Let magnets flatten for a few hours or overnight beneath a pile of books or other heavy object. Then your magnets are ready for your fridge!
Click on the image below to download a high-res Photoshop template (zip file). Each frame is about 1″ tall and the dimensions of the finished piece is 4″x6″ which will enable you to get it printed at a photo lab. The Polaroid frames are on one layer with a second layer below that for your own photographs. Drop in your photos, and scale down.

awesome! LOVE these! thanks for sharing.
Exciting news about the baby! Wishing you the best.
Thanks everyone. : ) @Brittany, congrats back at you! I’m not due until November. This is also the hardest pregnancy for me. I didn’t get sick at all with the boys.
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, under the Page 5 post on Apr. 05, 2011. Thanks again.
jenn, how exciting! congrats! i’ve missed your posts. if anyone should be blogging more, it’s you. the magnets are brilliant!
I missed my creative Jenn!!!! It’s been FOREVER since you blogged!!! They say anything pickled helps with sickness. The magnets are adorable!!! Love you, and can’t wait to see you!

this is amazing!! quick question: did you “laminate” before painting the edges? did the tape only go on the top or the sides as well?
fabulous gifts for family/friends!
cute! thank you for sharing this. :)
I saw these featured on Creature Comforts. These are so stinkin’ cute! Thanks for posting your tutorial.
Hi Nicole,
I placed the tape over the printout before I cut out the Polaroids, so the edges are uncovered. I covered only a couple of Polaroids at a time because I was worried the tape would crinkle and stick if I tried to cover a large area at once.
Congratulations!
And these are awesome, who doesn’t always need more magnets?
Wowsers! They are brilliant! Thx 4 sharing!
So creative! I love these.

So cute! You can also use Judi Kins Micro Glaze on your ink jet images before applying the 3D glaze. It keeps the ink from running and protects the color. I think that you’ve done the right thing, though, to keep these looking like tiny polaroids.

I love this idea :)
I used some of my tiny pictures I took while in Japan for the same effect – They have booths everywhere to take pictures in and get printed out, that you can add all sorts of writing and backgrounds on, and they’re the perfect size for this sort of thing. They’re called purikura, so if you could find any near where you live, you could also try that :)
This is the cutest thing evER! I am SO going to try these. Thanks for sharing!
These are SO RAD! And finally a crafty project that I think I can accomplish. :)

Way cool idea! I think I’ll have to do this for my fridge, with some photos I just found.
BTW, you might want to consider using clear contact paper instead of scotch tape. If you cut out the corners at 90 degree angles, you can wrap the sides all around, for a no-line finish!

[...] First off, I picked out some photos. I scaled down my photos in Word to .8 wide, and made a rectangular outline around them that looked like a polaroid frame. Printed them and cut them along the outline with my paper trimmer. Next I cut some chipboard to fit the photos…I used the photos as a guide for cutting. The back of a sketchbook was perfect for chipboard usage. Then I adhered the photos to the chipboard using E6000 glue, I let them dry for about 20 minutes before I went onto the next step of painting the edges white with acrylic paint. Lastly, I found some adhesive magnetic tape lying around in my crafting supplies so I used this to adhere to the back of the magnet. Finish, Viola! Inspiration from this site [...]

I don’t know if this is something you’d be interested in, but I discovered that if you need to cover photos that were printed on a photo printer at home with glaze you can use clear nail polish and it keeps the ink from running.
What a great idea! AM TOTALLY in love w/it! Also great info from Linda about coating w/clear nail polish.

Thanks for adding a polaroid frame at the bottom. I downloaded the file, but I can’t use it because it’s quicktime. I know I could download it, but I find that putting apple programs onto my pc starts a cat/dog fight and my computer stops working properly. So I just used the picture at the bottom.
I am hoping that either, more of your downloads are available in a pc format as well, or that you might start including what the file looks like at the bottom of your post so that people who don’t own macs can use those for templates instead?

I love these! You may be able to try the paper glaze and see how it reacts to an Epson printer if the Epson printer uses Dura-Brite inks. They are permanent inks so it may prevent running, it would also depend on the photo paper used and how much paper glaze.

Mandy — What I did was added my image to the template, drag the polaroid border layer to the top so it covers your picture. Then resize the whole image to whatever width you like, and make sure to have “constrain proportions” checked, and it will automatically resize the length. I made mine 1″ wide, which worked out perfectly since my magnets are 1″ wide, but you can really make them any size you want.
Thanks for the tips Meg!

I’ve had some problems on my computer trying to download this. Do you have to have a Mac in order for the download to work?
What size is the magnet once it is complete?
Love this idea! I think it will be great for Christmas gifts for the family. Has anyone tried this by using regular white computer paper in place of the photo paper? Love this idea, just thought I’d cut costs if I could just use print paper.
These are ADORABLE! I’m featuring them at my blog today for “gifts for women”. Thanks a million for sharing! I’ll be making a few for Christmas gifts this year. :)
Aloha,

Adorei! Parabéns e obrigada pela dica!
Great! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
aw man, Ive been trying to do this project and I seriously cannot figure out how to scale my image to fit the polaroid frame without it looking stretched and pixelated. Any tips for a newbie at PS?
@ Leopardcat: When you grab the corner of the image to size it down, hold down the “shift” key at the same time and it will lock the length and width scale (will not make it look stretched or pixelated). Be sure that (after you have it to the size you want) let go of the left mouse button, THEN let go of the shift key. Hope this helps.

gosh… i literally have been trying the computer part of this for HOURS. I don’t have a printer that will work very well, so i was trying to put the mini polaroids on a 4×6 so i could upload them to walgreens and have the photos printed for me. I have illustrator AND photoshop and cannot figure out how to get the pictures to cooperate. i am so frustrated! does anyone have any other suggestions?
What is the point of the pen? Is it just to fill the edges? Also, can I substitute that with Mod Podge?
@Heather
Thanks for the tip I appreciate you responding, however it didn’t help me. I originally wanted to make this for a birthday in October, couldn’t figure it out in time and now I was hoping to make this as a Christmas gift but I’m not confident I’ll be able to figure it out. Also, when I watch tutorials on youtube, when people drag the image to the frame, the image automatically goes behind the frame but in my case the image is in front of the frame and covers it up. Does that sound strange?
Leopardcat,
In your layers palette, you have to move the picture BELOW the Polaroid layer.
okay so after I scaled down the photo, you couldnt really tell if it looked stretched or not so I think it’ll work. Thanks girls for helping me out!
I tried making these in Photoshop. My canvas is 300 tall and roughly 240 pixels wide. These equate to 1″ and .8″ however, the image is HUGE!
I opened up another canvas of 8.5″ x 11 so I can transfer all the polaroid images to one page so I can print them off onto one page, but I can only fit 2 on a row. What am I missing?
If someone can help me I would appreciate it as I want to be able give these out as gifts on Monday! (I know waiting until last minute).
Thanks all!
Disregard my question, I am rereading it and just saw your template!
THANK YOU! You have saved my sanity.
there’s youtube video?!?!?! can someone send me a link or tell me what to look up to find it.
Ive been trying to get these to work for days now spending hours on the computer. never used photoshop before and could really. thank you in advance!!
ok i got the photoshop part firgure out and tried my first batch tonight. having a hard time figuring out what ot use as the backing. tried the back of a spiral notebook but it causes a hump and the magnet wont sit fluch with it.
Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac with iphoto?
I am going to try these on the 1x1ceramic tiles. These are going to be so cute! Oh yea, I’ll print them at a pro lab and then modge podge them. Thanks for the inspiration! Found u on pinterest.
I made mine a little different, used a sheet of sticky white foam so I didn’t have to paint the edges. I used poladroid to create the pics with frame, then discovered picasa has a similar frame overlay.

what a brilliant idea, I’m making some as christmas presents, thank you :)
My husband and have been laid off for over a year now, so we really don’t have a lot of money for Christmas Presents this year. This is a perfect idea! Thank you so much, not only for the idea, but for the downloads.
This is a good idea for ref. magnets. I tried it but I glued the pictures to a 1inch by 1 inch piece of tile. You can pick up the small tiles at a Home Depot, Lowes or home improvement store and can be found in the tile dept. They come on a mesh backing with 30 tiles to a sheet so you can get 30 magnets out of 1 sheet. After glueing the picture to the tile just put several coats of modge podge glue on top. Buy a flat magnet sheet (these can be picked up at a craft store) cut to size of tile and glue to back of tile.
Just I suggestion, but I bought a stack of printable magnet paper from my local stationery supply store. That printed brilliantly, and now I just need to cut them out with a trimmer. :)
If one could fall in love with a craft project this would be my first true love! These are so adorable. I’m always looking for a great new craft project that would make a great gift as well. How much time did it take to make them? They do seem somewhat time consuming. Thanks for sharing! By the way, congratulations on the baby on the way!
Awesome! I was able to print them on photo paper on my inkjet printer…I sealed them with reg. glossy mod podge and then used the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. Worked PERFECT!
Thanks for sharing your poloraid template!
I need a tutorial on how to use the frame in photoshop! Awesome idea! Thanks!
Love this. Making them right now! I couldn’t find chip board at JoAnn’s, but over by the needlepoint stuff they had something called Peel & Stick Mounting Board for Textile Art. It worked perfect and was great because it has pressure sensitive adhesive included. Thanks again for sharing!! :)
Jodie, can you help me with the photoshop part? jamkris99@bellsouth.net Thanks!
I love this idea!! definitely going to try this…just so so pretty!!! just have to reduce the size of my photos and make a few copies…
I LOVE this. I just made some for gifts for my parents and my in-laws of all of their grandchildren and granddogs. It turned out great and pretty easy once I figured out how to use photoshop. Oh and thank you for the template! What a lifesaver.

I just started making these today, but I have a question – how did you get the edges to look so perfect? I am using foam board (Elmer’s 3/16 thickness) and even with an Exacto knife, the edges are not clean. What material would you recommend?
I apologize in advance if this doesn’t sound terribly helpful, but practicing cutting foam core or board will help get you a clean edge. Are you using a fresh blade? Because that matters as well. Also, I find my cuts are cleaner when I make multiple shallow cuts, as opposed to just one or two deep cuts. And make sure you have a metal straight edge to align your blade against. Hope this helps, and good luck!
Thanks for the information! I will definitely use a straight edge and do a little practice first!
Maybe this seems silly, but what weight of cardstock should I get? The “heaviest” I’ve found is 110lbs and it doesn’t seem like it is thick enough to produce magnets as thick as yours. Is there some other name of product I should be looking for? Do you have any examples? Thank you so much!
Hi! I am trying to make these but I am going to glue these on tiles that are just short of two inches on each side. The template is too small to do that, though, do you have any recommendations??? I keep trying to enlarge it and that isn’t helping at all :) Thank you! I LOVE these! So cute!

Very cool. I actually have real polaroids. Would the spray mount damage the backs of the pictures?
Hi Staci,
In my experience, no. If it isn’t adhered to anything, the spray mount/rubber cement dries out and you can rub it away with an eraser or your finger. I actually prefer this over glue since it dries quickly and isn’t as wet. Hope that helps, and good luck with the magnets!
