Elizabeth & Oliver’s Custom DIY Magnet Wedding Favors

From Elizabeth:

We made them with a button-maker that Oliver’s old bandmate had.

For the images, we made some out of our wedding “logo” stationary and then cut out pictures from all of the bridal magazines that I had leftover as well as some travel mags – flowers, kites, anything that was visually interesting.

After the images were cut, we made buttons.

Rather than putting the pin component, we used epoxy and glued magnets on the back (bought at a craft store). We bought little bags from the craft store as well.

We made a whole lot of magnets – 5per couple/35+ couples. It was a pretty decent project and I would say took at least 10 hours to complete.
