About Simple DIY Cement Hex Magnets
It’s time for some DIY leftovers! Remember this project, and this one too? I’ve had some little cement hexagons laying around since I finished those projects and I’ve just been wondering what the heck to do with ’em. Finally figured it out! When in doubt, put a magnet on it. If you tried either of those other projects and have some extras, this is the perfect use for them! If not, read on for the downlow.
Materials
small hexagon ice cube tray
hexagon ice cube trays
Cement All
craft paint
washi tape
E6000
tiny magnets like these
paintbrush
Make Time: 30 Minutes (Plus Drying Time)
To make the board:
1. Cut a piece of leather 13″ x 13″.
2. Mask off the outer 1/2″ of each edge with washi tape.
3. Mask off the first set of squares. Measure 1.5″ from the edge of the outer washi tape, and mask off with the top edge of another line of tape. Then from that top edge, place another line of tape so that the bottom edge is 1.5″ away. Keep masking with these same measurements.
4. Paint the large open squares. Once you’re done, gently and carefully pull away the washi tape.
5. Once the paint is dry (ours took about 10 minutes), mask off the opposite set of squares. Use the same process as #3, but you’ll be masking over the squares that are already painted gold.
6. Paint these squares and remove the washi tape. Allow all paint to dry.
To make the checkers:
1. Mix 1/2 cup of Cement All with 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of water. Stir thoroughly with the popsicle stick until all lumps are gone.
2. Spoon a teaspoon of the cement mixture into each hexagon tray. Work quickly (but carefully!) so that the cement doesn’t start drying — it will start to harden shortly after you mix it.
3. Tap the sides of the hexagon tray to get rid of any bubbles or uneven spots in the cement.
4. Allow the cement to dry for about an hour and pop the hexagons out of the tray. You’ll need to make 24 pieces, so repeat the process a second time.
5. Once all the pieces are made and dried, paint ’em up! For a colorblocked look, tape off half a checker with washi tape and paint the other half. Remove the tape while the paint is still wet. Set all the checkers aside to dry.
