You need:

• Business-card sized magnets (buy a package at the office supply store or collect actual business magnets and cover up image w/ your own!)
• Glue stick
• Scissors or Paper cutter
• Color prints of vintage Halloween postcards, sized to fit magnets (2 x 3.5"). Either select a variety or one great image.
  • Sources - find online (highest resolution possible), right-click and save to your hard-drive: Antique Halloween e-Cards, Old Fashion(ed) Halloween.
  • Resize in whatever way works best for you (the proportion is off a little, so you might have to crop a couple edges). I've resized a few myself (above, not to scale), and can send a couple via email.

To Do:

1. Cut out images
2. Glue to magnets
3. Package (think cellophane sucker wrappers from the cake decorating section)
4. Give (make sure you keep one for yourself!)

(or buy 8.5x11 printable magnet sheets, print images on sheet & cut out -- you can keep the postcard proportions this way)
