Magnetic Quiet Book






Here's a project I "completed" a few months ago...I am still adding to it and changing things, so I guess it will never be done, but you know what I mean. I made this quiet book for my daughter to take to church. Some of the pages are religious, some aren't. Some ideas are original, some aren't. This is a huge mesh of stuff from friends, the internet and my very own imagination. Each page is made of cardstock that was painted with magnetic paint, then laminated. All the pieces have little magnets stuck to the back. And these are only a few of the pages.

More magnetic quiet book pages here and here.

Post on magnetic paint here.

Totally cute!! If you decide to sell one of them I will buy! I love the idea, but could never do that myself.

These quiet books are great. I have started one for my son for him to look at while at church but I really like your patterns better. Can you share where you got the pattern for the whole armor and the little kids and clothes? thanks!!!

Thank you for sharing your ideas!!! They are very good. Question: Where do you get your clipart pictures for all of your pages? Do you draw them free hand or did you find them online? Thanks again for sharing, I am thinking of making a book for my boys.

Would you tell me about the magnetic paint. Is it a can, markers, or a spray type. Where did you find it and how do you use it?
These sound like so much fun.
Thanks

I echo the earlier questions:

1. Where did you get the printables, did you make them, etc?

2. What magnetic paint did you use?

So creative. How do you even start? Is that cardstock?? I would love to make one of these, but I have no idea how you even start?

Cindy said... Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

Seriously creative! You should sell these1! I would love to make one too. But how do you even start? Is that cardstock?

CINDY,

I started by thinking up ideas for the pages. Then I looked for clip art or drew the graphics myself and got them all printed on cardstock. Definitely need cardstock so the paint doesn't wrinkle the pages too much. Then laminate! It was not nearly as much work as many of the other quiet books I've made. Paper is so much faster to work with than fabric!
