...July 4th Ric Rac Magnet Set...

Materials for a set of three....

  • Three 24" lengths of different colors and sizes of Ric Rac
  • Thread, the same color as your Ric Rac
  • A needle
  • Three small beads or buttons
  • Three round magnets
  • Glue (E6000 Adhesive works great!)

Steps...

1. Thread your needle so that you have a length of about 8" of thread. Tie a large knot with both ends, leave a 2" tail.

2. Cut a 25" length of Ric Rac. Take your needle and pull up through the first Ric Rac point and down through the second Ric Rac point.

3. Keep going up and down through the points. Push the Ric Rac down to the knot as you go, making little folds.

4. When you reach the end, push the Ric Rac down and tie a knot with the knotted 2" tail and the needle end. Arrange the Ric Rack around the ring to finish your star burst. You might need to trim the fray off of the ends of the Ric Rac.

5. Glue your bead in the center front. Glue magnet to center back. Once the cards are dry, they are ready to use, or you can dress them up a bit with markers, glitter or paint.

6. Make two more to complete your set!
