DIY Letter & Number Magnets with Free SVG – The Crafty Blog Stalker

Add Magnets

You can buy magnets that already have an adhesive side, saving you the need for glue.

I used what I already had, which were non-adhesive sheets.

To cut the magnet sheets, you can either cut strips with scissors or use a ruler and craft knife to cut on a self-healing mat. Cut strips to ½ inch wide.

I prefer the ruler method because it keeps the strips straight, but since they are going on the back, it doesn’t really matter.

Turn the numbers over with the painted side down, exposing the back.

Pay attention to which side of the magnetic sheet is magnetic. You can test on any magnetic surface, like a refrigerator or a baking sheet.

I may have glued a few down before I realized this, but the glue had not set, so I was able to fix it. 🤦‍♀️

To measure the magnetic strips for each number, hold them to the back and cut with scissors.

Apply a bead of glue to the back of the number and place the magnetic strip, magnet side up, into the glue.

For the curvy letters, cut smaller squares of the magnetic strip, and glue those on.
