Step by Step of this Tutorial on How to Make Candy Magnets With Foamy
To kickstart this exciting creative activity, the first step is to choose a strip of foam sheet approximately 3/4 of an inch wide. You can achieve this by using a toothpick to mark the desired area on the foam sheet and then proceed to make the cut with care and precision.
Once you have completed this initial step, move on to the next phase of this thrilling process. At this stage, you will have the opportunity to select another color of foam sheet that harmoniously and stylishly complements the strip you’ve previously cut. This second foam sheet cut should also have a width of approximately 3/4 of an inch to ensure a perfect match with the first strip.
By making these precise cuts and choosing the right colors, you’ll be shaping the fundamental elements necessary for creating the beautiful candy-shaped magnets that will take center stage in your decorative projects. Get ready to continue exploring this fun activity and elevate your creations to a higher level of beauty and originality!
Place one strip on the other leaving a visible space on the top, because that is the part that we are going to stick to start creating the spiral.
Apply adhesive to the lower strip and align it with the other strip before securing them together. Next, add glue to the remaining section of the first strip (pink) and fold it towards the yellow strip to initiate the core spiral of the candy.
Roll the strips tightly to ensure the center remains closed. Upon completion, you’ll observe that one strip (yellow) is longer; trim it so it matches the length of the other strip (pink). Add adhesive to both strips and press them together to seal them.
Now that the candy’s core is ready, let’s move on to crafting the two sides that will act as the wrapping.
For this, cut two squares of foam each measuring 1 1/4″. Apply a dab of glue at the center of each foam square and fold it, ensuring it adheres at that point.
Attach these folded pieces to the candy’s core. If there’s any excess adhesive, trim the tips for a smoother finish when attaching to the candy.
Finally, cut additional strips to serve as the wrapping seal. Stick one end of the strip to the rear of the wrapping first. Then measure the length needed to seal it completely, cut accordingly, and secure with glue.
Then place the magnet …. and VOILÁ !!!!
