Do-it-yourself magnet. Sheep

A DIY magnet can become a modest souvenir for your loved ones. Minimum production time costs and a cheap price, the best alternative to purchased stamped souvenirs.

Making a magnet with your own hands

My version is just a basis, an idea for your creativity. I used dog hair, yarn, beads, a magnet and a piece of cardboard.

We knit the body. A regular crocheted napkin circle or oval. We knit a flower - we knit 7-9 single crochets into an amigurumi ring. The leaves can be knitted according to the pattern below, or in any of hundreds of ways.

We sew the muzzle to the body, and glue a piece of cardboard and a magnet on the back side. Everything took a little over an hour, and almost free. In my opinion, such souvenirs are much more valuable than their Chinese counterparts, which are produced in thousands of copies.
