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.

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

Hi Aubri! I hadn't thought of selling these books, but if I ever do, I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks for visiting The Craft Patch!
I just found your blog and I am loving it. Question about your magnetic Paint...Where did you find it and how do you get it to work. I have young children in my life and would love to make some books for them, I also love your idea. It is sooo great!! Please help me out.

That is a super cute quiet book. Where did you find some of the ideas for the pages?
This is SENSATIONAL!!!!!! I adore this. I want one to play with... I mean for my kiddos to play with. :)
That's fantastic! I can't imagine the hours you've put into it!
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.
Do you sell any of these things? I could never do some of these crafts but I really want to know if I could buy them!! You are very talented.
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?
I just saw the link on pinterest. What a great idea!
LOVE this idea! We linked up to it today on When You Rise.
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?
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!
