A lot of people ask me, "How do you do it?"  So I thought it might be interesting for you to follow me through the process of making one of my car magnets.  (If not, well, just click on the red boxed X up in the corner.)   ....................No?  Ok, so, let's get started.
Step # 1.  I start by sketching a design on 110# card stock.  (If it's a more serious magnet                  from your photo, I print your picture onto the cardstock. )
Step # 2.  Then I cut out the design with scissors and an Exacto knife.
Step # 3.  I lay the cardstock design on top of the sheet magnet and trace around it.
Step # 4.  I now cut out the magnet with scissors and an Exacto Blade.
Step # 5.  Here's where I have to redraw the design onto the magnet with a pencil.
Step # 6.  Next, I lay on the base coat over the entire magnet....
Step # 7.  ....And start shading in and adding some basic details.
Step # 8.  Add the outline...
Step # 9.  Top coat with a clear acrylic spray...
Step # 10.  ...sign the back and it's finished!
One hand-painted car magnet!
