My mother-in-law needed an item to give to each participant at the conclusion of a class to remind them of the things they had learned. The challenge was to buy/make 70 items for around $10. The item needed to include a saying of some kind that they had adopted during this class. She asked me to help her (at the last minute) to pull something together. I wanted to make magnets from clear glass pebbles, but couldn't find any large enough. However, I did find a package of assorted wooden circles at Hobby Lobby. The ones I used are the size of a quarter. I printed the saying on two different kinds of card stock, cut out the circles with an exacto knife (looking back I would have splurged to buy a circle punch), glued the paper to the wood using Mod Podge, distressed the edges with a brown ink pad, then applied Mod Podge over the top and sides to seal it all together. I bought a roll of adhesive magnet and cut off one-inch pieces and adhered them to the back. Thanks to everyone for your last-minute ideas! I'm definitely using this project in the future.

those are so cute. when i saw the pictures i was going to ask you how to make them, so thanks for the info there. good job!
These will not be strong magnets. To make them stronger, buy the round thick magnets.
They turned out really cute! You gusy did an awesome job!
