    Chore Chart Picture Magnets

    By Genevieve | Babies & Kids, Craft Projects & Home Decor, Printables | 19 comments | 10 October, 2018 | 1

    I recently posted a tutorial on how I made my kids’ customized magnetic chore charts. To go along with the chore charts, I made picture magnets so that even my younger children that can’t read know how to help around the house.

    Magnetic Chore ChartsHere’s how I made them . . .

    Supplies

    • 3/4″ Square Glass Tiles
    • Mini Button Magnets
    • Diamond Glaze
    • Gel Super Glue
    • Chore Picture Printable (download below)

    Step 1: Chore Picture Printable

    Download PDF file below and print it on photo paper or cardstock. Regular printer paper is too thin and it will show your magnet through from the back. Download-Icon-click-225x300Now cut out each chore along the lines.

     

    Step 2: Glaze Picture

    I tried a few techniques for these magnets and here is the best way. . .

    Apply a very small amount of glaze on the entire back of the glass tile. (Don’t do a drop of glaze in the middle and then push the picture on creating the glaze to spread out to all the sides. This will cause your ink to “run” and create a blurry picture. Trust me, I tried it.) Chore Picture Magnets

    Once the glaze is on the entire tile, I place my picture face up on a paper towel and then push the tile directly on the picture. The extra glaze will leak out a little and the paper towel will instantly absorb it. Now I leave it right there and allow it to dry for a few minutes.Chore Picture Magnets

     

    Step 3: Attach Magnet

    Once the glaze is set up, it only takes a few minutes, I attach the magnet to the back using a tiny amount of super glue. (Put a tiny amount of glue in the center of the back and press magnet on glue.)

     

    Step 4: Start Tracking

    That’s it! You are now ready to keep track who is doing what job and your kids are ready to track what chores they have finished. Enjoy!Chore Picture Magnets

      I love this, I would buy one of these! I am so busy not sure when I could make one, if you ever start selling these, or have an Etsy store let me know!

        Kaycee,
        I actually just made an ordering option on my site for my chore charts. You can order just the custom vinyl or you can order the board completely finished. http://beinggenevieve.com/magnetic-chore-charts/

      Where did you get your images from? I really like them and I have some additional chores I’d like to add that you don’t have.

      Thanks!

        Danielle, I actually found my images from all over. Sorry I don’t have one location that they all came from.

        Danielle,
        My images are from several locations, but the majority of my images I purchased here… https://www.etsy.com/listing/192044417/job-chart-chore-chart-clip-art?ref=landingpage_similar_listing_top-1

      Would you happen to have a template for the chore chart, that I can edit? I am hoping to change a few of the chores to other tasks.

        I do not. I could change something for you. Just let me know and I can email you the changes.

      I am not an internet/copyright “police” person, but I am a huge fan of Susan Fitch’s work and so I thought I would just make you aware that almost all of the images you are using for your magnets are her work which she sells on her etsy shop. I know you can buy them for personal use or get a commercial license (which I assume would be what you would want to use her work on your website). Here’s the link to her shop
      https://www.etsy.com/listing/204038064/commercial-license-for-job-chart-clip?ref=shop_home_active_5&crt=1

      I’m sure she would be thrilled to know that you’re using her work, but I’m sure she would also like credit (and payment!) for her hard work as well!!

        Thank you so much for letting me know! I did purchase the images from her. I bought her regular clip art AND her zone clip art. I was unaware that I also had to purchase a license. I bought them years and years ago, so maybe she has changed her policy? I will look into it and contact her. Thanks again!

      hello! love these! I know this post is older so im not sure if you will see this but would you recommend using modge podge to apply the cardstock to the tile? I dont have glaze and was curious if modge podge would do the trick? Any thoughts? Thank you

        I have actually used modge podge to apply it to tiles. I highly recommend getting the glaze. You’ll like it much better. The modge podge would do the trick, but it doesn’t look as good. The glaze also makes it much easier and much quicker.
