Comic Book Magnets

"A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulder to let him know that the world hadn't ended." -Batman, The Dark Knight Rises

Although the post title says magnet, this could also be adjusted for pins or coasters.  It makes this a very versatile project. I turned mine into magnets, because who doesn't love teaching interjections through comic books?

Materials:

• Comic Book
• Scissors
• Card Stock
• Mod Podge
• Paint Brush
• Cup
• Pencil
• Magnet (or Craft Foam or button making pieces)

Directions:

1. Find an image you like and trace the cup around it. Cut out the image.
2. Trace the same cup onto card stock.  Cut out the circle.
3. Find a word or phrase you like and cut it out.
4. Paste this on card stock and cut out as well.  Double up on card stock depending how much you want this to pop from the background image. 
5. Attach image to card stock using mod podge.  Attach words in the same way to where you want them. Let dry.
6. Attach magnet to the back.

Another simple and easy craft to count down the days before Free Comic Book Day!  (Btw: 4 more days!)  Also, I am having a lot of fun with Batman '66.  It uses fun colors, great art, and and interesting story line.  Plus, classic Batman and Robin.
