In this article we will show you a small master class on making a magnet on the refrigerator as a coffee turtle.</p> <h2>How To Make A Magnet On A Fridge</h2> <p><strong>In order to produce a magnet as a turtle, you will need:</strong></p> <ul><li>coffee beans;</li><li>jute rope;</li><li>a foam plastic (or a simple sponge for washing dishes);</li><li>cardboard;</li><li>scissors;</li><li>super glue;</li><li>white glue;</li><li>brown gouache;</li><li>vanilla;</li><li>magnet.</li></ul> <p><strong>Let’s get started:</strong></p> <p>1. On the cardboard we draw the silhouette of a turtle and cut it out. A ready template we put to the foam plastic, draw out and cut the workpiece. Using scissors, we gently smooth the edges and make the form of a turtle.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/J9jR9KtHtwaFJIXUbyhkQzWfpqc=/5c731d45d7984531bc4dc9b2ef9f58df"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/J9jR9KtHtwaFJIXUbyhkQzWfpqc=/5c731d45d7984531bc4dc9b2ef9f58df" data-image="29861"></a></figure> <p>2. Now you need to make the impregnation. For this purpose, we mix a bit of water, brown gouache, white glue and vanilla in a plate. We make our workpiece get impregnated well, press it and give it a dry.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/mgZV0vwScnhAJEELfJKMd8s6_l0=/224afb72af8b4ca2b2b589de7d82f1a6"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/mgZV0vwScnhAJEELfJKMd8s6_l0=/224afb72af8b4ca2b2b589de7d82f1a6" data-image="29863"></a></figure> <p>3. With the help of a super-glue we glue a cardboard template to the bottom of the foam plastic turtle, and legs, head and tail we wrap with twine. On the bottom of a turtle in a circular manner we glue the twine and a small magnet.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/bppNkxzs36YyvYke61AVfL-vC5k=/8a90467afcf847e48070a10b3c856b4e"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/bppNkxzs36YyvYke61AVfL-vC5k=/8a90467afcf847e48070a10b3c856b4e" data-image="29864"></a></figure> <p>4. We begin to lay out a turtle shell with coffee beans. The first layer of beans we tightly stick to the foam plastic to each other "face" down, and the second - "face" up, filling up the gaps. Also, we glue the eyes to the turtle, paint them and decorate to your taste.</p> <figure><a class="images-link" data-lightbox="gallery" href="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/ATaYYoMmuev9tTzZoxb2Wmeo8E0=/2900b2d5db784709adcecadc950d4d20"><img src="https://abbigli.com/thumbs/unsafe/fit-in/1000x0/https://abbigli.com/thumbs/ATaYYoMmuev9tTzZoxb2Wmeo8E0=/2900b2d5db784709adcecadc950d4d20" data-image="29865"></a></figure> <p>5.
