Magnetic Clips

I went to Office Max today to find a few ring binder things for a mini-album that I'm completing and found these delightful magnetic clips that screamed at me to alter them. That indented circle was what sold me immediately.

And I granted their request, of course, this afternoon. I love them and they go so well with my magnetboard and pebble magnets that I showed you in the last post!
This is how I did it. I glued scrap paper on the front of the clip using PVA glue. On the one on the right, I glued on the white button (again, using PVA). The crown is clip art from Somerset Workshop III as is the believing label (and the grow label at left). The clip on the left is made up of 2 buttons: a brown one and that awesome orange flourish. (I bought the entire package of vintage buttons for that orange beauty.) I just glued them together. It took me about 10 minutes including drying time. Great project.
