- Thank you so much to Martie Rollin for requesting this video!
I explain a few different ways I use Basic Grey Magnets in my mini albums. Using magnets in minis gives them a clean and neat look! I use Basic Grey due to their ultra thin profile (1/32") and strength.

ALSO! Let me know if there is something you want to see in my videos! Your input is very much appreciated! :)
Just found this video and have used the" magnet in the middle of the page idea " before, but helping it to make a closure with an embellishment is genius. Thanks!!!!
Debra, thank you for your crystal clear explanation and demonstration of using magnets in scrapbooking. Love the idea of using a magnet on an embellishment such as a flower to add holding power as well as decorating a page or album. Fantastic. I have Basic Grey magnets but I could never figure out how they worked on mini albums. Thanks for your time sharing your suggestions & ideas with all of us! Love from Alabama, Alice
Alice Adler I am so happy that I could help.
Thanks so much for such a rapid video tutorial! I really like that idea of a removable embellishment...clever and pretty! I can see that planning ahead is definitely necessary. Nice to hold those flaps in place. I'd thought about making a magnetic belly band on a waterfall...had no idea these magnets would hold through so many layers. Modern magnets are amazing! Again, thanks a bunch! You've answered all my questions. Keep on crafting!
Martie Rollin Thank you, Martie! I am so glad that my video helped you. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
LOVE this tutorial, Debbie! I like how you placed a magnet on the flower and used it in different ways. Thanks for sharing this scrapbooking tip! :-)
Maria Cisneros Toth Thank you so much, Maria! I am so glad you like the tutorial!
I have recently just gotten into making paper doll glue books And these little magnets are going to be a great asset so that I don't have to glue down everything and paper doll out fits can be interchangeable by putting a glue disc on the paper dolll and then one on each of the outfits. Thank u so much for your video. You explain the step by step of using the magnets very clearly
Debra.....Came back for a much needed review lesson. I'm not planning far enough ahead. I can do this! It's a wonderfully effective way to hold things together. Thanks, again, for making this tutorial...answers all my questions. Loved all your examples. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for all the good information about magnets. Can't wait to try it out
That was a great tips and trick with magnets tutorial and I will definitely be using magnets in my next project...thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this informative video!! I especially like your clarification on how to do the waterfall!
I am so glad that you found this video helpful! : )
Thank you for sharing I always get muddled where to put the magnets , I have subscribed and look forward to watching more xx
Amazing!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great tutorial. I would have never known how to do this without your tutorial! Keep the videos coming :-)
Roseanne Baker I am so glad that my tutorial was so helpful to you. You need to get some magnets to use in your mini albums and various projects, too!
Happy New Year, may 2016 be joyous for you & yours🎉
Your video is wonderful and your instructions are easily understood
+Shirley MacDonald Thank you, Shirley! I am so happy that you found this video helpful. Happy New Year to you and your family!
thanks so much! I have the really thick ones right now, so I'm going to seek thinner ones
Debbie: where do you buy the basic grey magnets? I've checked JoAnn
Fabrics and Michael's. No luck. Also, what is a belly band? Loved the video!
you can them them at Amazon
Basic Grey 5/8-Inch-by-1/32-Inch Magnetic Snaps Large. only 12 in the pack
Great demo
Thank you, Diana. I am happy that I could help. : )
Where to get the magnets? The thin ones? I clicked the hashtag but it takes to another video.
Love love love your flower on a magnet idea. Omg. Genius
Shannon Clifford she gets them at Joann’s.com
What beautiful projects you make! I can't wait to make my first mini book using them. So many possibilities! When you glue yours in, what do you use? Would a glue stick be enough, or would I need a little touch of hot glue? I don't want to mess up the very first time I try it. Thank you so much for this video!
Hi Jill. Thank you so much. I love to use magnets in many of my projects. I place the magnets between the sheets of paper so there really is no need for glue. There is a paper backing concealing an adhesive on the magnets I use (Basic Grey), and when removed, allows it to be positioned to your project. I then add a paper mat "sandwiching" the magnet. The adhesive on the magnet is pretty strong but if you are worried about the magnet moving around, just add a little adhesive around the magnet after you have applied it to your project and add the additional paper on top. I have found that even getting some glue on the magnet has not hurt the attraction of the magnet. I have never used hot glue or a glue stick for this method. In most of my projects I use Beacons 3 in 1, Beacons Mixed Media, or Score Tape. If you have any other questions please let me know. Have fun incorporating magnets in your projects!
would you mind telling me what die you used to cut the paper on the first photo of your youtube? Thanks so much for the info!!!!
Thank you so much for this technique video! I have been getting into book making and love these tutorials! So much to learn, so many wonderful ideas. I love the waterfall also and your paper is dreamy...I love it. I realize this was posted some time ago but do you remember what paper pack this was from? Michelle
+Michelle Pinsonneault Hi Michelle. I am so happy that you found this tutorial helpful. The papers that I jused in this tutorial were a mixture of papers from my huge stash. I was determined to create something out of excess papers. I have used some K & Company (Susan Winget Collection) and The Blue Fern Studio Santuary Collection....the others I am not sure. Have fun creating your books. It is so much fun!!!
Awesome ....I will definitely start using magnets....have a question on the beautiful scalloped edge on your page....how did you do that...was it a template or something else
Awesome! Awesome video! Such a cool tip! I left a like and subbed to you! Maria sent me! Keep up the great work! :) :) :)
Hi Debra I was looking good at ur video to get ideas on what magnets are the best to use on my minis I liked yours. There was a ? I wanted to ask u that if u can share with me the die used to make that mini u were useing to demonstrate the magnets the one that looks like a "Braket" thanks
What to do with thick one i bought thick magnets how can i use it
Good information but several times you were off screen. What type of glue do you use to glue down the magnets? (You may have mentioned it but I missed it.)
Hi Sandra. I am so sorry about my poor quality of filming. I will work on that. : ) The magnets have some adhesive on them. I rarely just use that. Most of the time I use the magnets they are sandwiched between 2 sheets of paper. On the rare occasion that I do have them on the outside of my project, I use Beacons 4-in-1 glue. In fact, I use that glue for most of my projects.
can i please know what are the grade strength of these magnets?
This sounds like a stupid question, but do all magnets attach with all other magnets. I want to buy magnets for projects, but I want to have "matching magnets". I realize you can buy magnets for single use for refrigerator decor, etc. So, is there anything I should look for when purchasing?
Hi Jonie! This is not a stupid question. I had to think about this for a few days before responding. I grabbed the Basic Grey magnets that I LOVE to use and tried them against other magnets that I had on other projects and they all attached, even the "single use" for refrigerator use type that you mentioned. Basic Grey labels their magnets either positive or negative to help you to grab a "pair"......however, each one of the magnets have a negative and positive side. So, for instance, you could have 2 "positive" magnets and they would attach. Also, I went around my house attaching a single magnet to many different metal items like, iron, steel and nickel. When I purchase magnets, I look for extra strength and ultra-thin. I have found both of these in the Basic Grey magnets. I am sure that there are other magnets out there that are just as good. Experiment to see what works for you.
Love, ure so right to ask - magnets have 'north n south' poles n north poles repels north, as south repels south. Once, I 'tried out' 2 pieces of magnets, 'stuck' them together..it worked! ..they were fine before gluing. However, after the glue dried n tried to "close" the flap I made - the magnets repelled! So I learnt it the hard way, that I need to be 'rocket-scientist-precise' when using magnets 😞
where can I purchase the magnets????
🎉😊❤😂
What paper did you use?
Nancy Benefiel Hi Nancy. I was determined to use papers that I had in my stash to make a mini album and this was one of those. The paper on the cover of this particular mini album is from K & Company (a Susan Winget collection). I got it at Joanns. I also have some papers from The Blue Fern Studios Sanctuary Collection. The others were just in my stash and I really do not remember what they are. I hope that this helped you. Thank you so much for watching my tutorial.
Don't stick together very good, that's to thick for a good hold
your all over the place and out of frame.....Such a shame because the video subject was what i have been looking for. thank you for trying anyways.
So sorry. Hope you got some great tips anyways.
