How to create your magnet
Start by creating or downloading a design template with the phrase ‘Life Is Short Make It Sweet’ in a decorative font. Choose a style that complements the pink magnetic sheet to ensure the design stands out.
Print the template onto your sheet of printable adhesive paper using a standard printer. Ensure the printer settings are adjusted for high-quality output to highlight the details of the design.
Once printed, carefully cut out the design using scissors. For straight edges, use a cutting mat and ruler, or lightly mark the cutting lines with a pencil before trimming.
Peel off the backing of the adhesive paper to reveal the sticky surface. Align the design onto the pink magnetic sheet and press it firmly to secure it in place.
Trim any excess magnetic sheet around the design for a polished finish. Allow the magnet to set for a few minutes before placing it on your fridge or another magnetic surface.
