Customized fridge magnets make great handmade party favors because they're a budget-friendly project that's quick to complete. This idea from designer Jessica Jones (you might know her from the awesome blog How About Orange) offers a personalized twist by using pieces of a map to add a little extra flair. Here's how to make the magnets...
Jessica started with plain wooden disks (available in the woodcrafting section of your craft store) then added a magnet to the back. Next, she glued on pieces of a paper map to the top of each disk. So far, so good. The unexpected step: Applying a coat of Mod Podge Dimensional Magic to the top of the map. This will seal the paper but also add a super-glossy finish that just looks amazing.
