Those are some Angry Birds.



So this is what those pesky 1X1 glass tiles have been transformed into

Angry Birds Magnets!

I had originally made these little guys last year for an auction
to benefit a group of 
Incredible, Sweet, Supportive, Hot, Funny and Creative moms.
{Go OOF!}

As soon as my little Angry Birds addict saw them, he fell in love.
I promised him I would make him a set of his own.
Better late than never, right?

So a bit of a flashback to my last kiln POST
These little guys were pretty fiesty and I had to start from scratch.

When I finally opened up the big kiln and found perfect little clear tiles,
I was thrilled!



 I gathered some pics and created a little Angry Birds printable last year
and picked my favorite feathered friends.
Oh, and some of those mean little pigs, too.


Get your Angry Birds printable page HERE.

So here is my list of materials to create this fun little guys.


Clear Glass Tiles or Blobs
Angry Birds printable
Mod Podge and Brush
Magnets
Strong Glue
Pen and Scissors 

First, Take you glass tile and make sure the image fits.


I do this for all my tiles and images.


Trace around each tile with your pen and cut out the shape.
Be sure to cut inside the line.
I also line up my tiles in the same order and set aside.



Grab your first tile and corresponding cut out.
Paint a layer of Mod Podge to the back of the tile

and then place the picture
Face Down on the Mod Podge.


Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the back of the paper 
and set aside to dry.
You should apply at least 3 coats, allowing drying time in between.


Once dry, take your magnets and apply some glue to the back.
Center the magnet on the back of the tile and press.
Let Dry.


Notice how I have them spaced out?
If you keep the magnets too close they will pull towards eachother.
(Yes, this is from experience and a mess of glue and magnets everywhere.)


And here is the finished product!


Super cute, functional and 
they made my little man giggle. 

Ok, they make me giggle, too.  I love them.
Hope you do, too.


XOXO
