Have you had a chance to use the Printable Magnet Paper yet? It’s simple to use and you can create custom magnets! Today I am going to show you how I created this Clean/Dirty Dishwasher magnet.

 

In our house, we often forget if the dishwasher is clean or dirty. Unloading the dishwasher is one of my 9-year-olds chores and he is always confused if the dishes are clean or dirty. This simple and cute magnet helps us stay on track—and it couldn’t be simpler to make!

Step 1: Open the software and select your designs. Type on “Clean” and “Dirty” text and move them to the selected positions. Insert magnet paper into the printer. When you have the design how you like it, send your design to your personal printer.

Step 5: To load your platform, insert the base into your Curio, ensuring that the notch is past the front of the machine. Then press the load button (the button with two arrows) and it will position the base perfectly. You can also turn off Curio before inserting the base. After the base is inserted, you can go ahead and power on Curio for cutting. Either way works great.

Step 6:  After your design is cut, remove the excess and you’ve got a new magnet!
