    These cork alphabet magnets are cute colorful and so easy to make.

    This is one of our favorite kid's crafts and can be made at any time throughout the year. Although, I love the idea of making this as a back-to-school craft to get the little ones excited for the coming school year.

    We highlighted this along with some other fun kid's crafts in our September Crafts along with our Kids Craft Ideas

    Magnet Crafts

    We are obsessed with magnet crafts over here. We love the idea of being able to stick them on the refrigerator or painted oil pan we have handing on the wall in the playroom.

    Learning Your Letters

    These are great for those kiddos that are at the age when they're learning the letters and beginning to spell, like our very own Girl!

    We love the idea of making letters as a craft. There are so many benefits including:

    • learning your letters
    • having them write the letters out and see what capitals and lower case letters look like
    • allowing them to visually put together words

    Okay, here is how you make them.

    Supplies to Make Cool Cork Letters

    Cork Pieces
    magnets
    • 2 packages of 4 Cork Squares - 4 inches
    • 1 package of 50 mini-magnets
    • variety of acrylic craft paint
    • scissors
    • hot glue gun with glue

    How To Make Magnetic Alphabet Letters

    Using the scissors we first cut up the cork squares each into 6 pieces - once in half and then each of the halves cut into three pieces. This results in (48 piece)  -- we only had one version of the letters (g,j,q,x,z)

    Next, it's time to paint. We have some glittery paint, but unfortunately, it didn't come up as clear on the cork, so we would recommend sticking with bolder, brighter, matte colors.

    Once the squares are painted, I used black paint and painted the letters over.

     Using the hot glue, apply a small dot of glue to the magnet and then attach it to the back of the cork letter in the middle of the rectangle.
