Chinese Character Magnets

Create some Asian inspired magnets to place on your fridge or magnetic board!

Here's what you'll need for this unique Asian-inspired magnets

• small wooden squares
• acrylic paints
• paint brush
• print-out of Chinese characters for reference
• black permanent marker
• pencil
• small magnets
• E6000 glue or hot glue gun
• Optional: spray varnish

First, print out a copy of your favorite Chinese characters to use as references for each magnet.

Next, paint each wooden square a different color and let dry.

Now, choose a Chinese character and use it as a guide as you lightly sketch it out on the wooden square with a pencil. Then, trace over the pencil drawing with a black permanent marker. In this example, I've sketched out the Chinese character for "Peace". You can even write out the actual name of the Chinese character on the bottom.

Finally, finish off by gluing a magnet to the back of the squares and let dry!

Now, your fridge is ready to get decked out with some colorful Asian flair!
