Create simple, nature‑inspired magnets using dried flowers and glass cabochon

Participants will create beautiful pressed‑flower cabochon magnets using real dried flowers and clear glass cabochons. After selecting their flowers, patrons will arrange them into small, eye‑catching designs and seal them beneath the glass to form a polished, jewel‑like finish. The final step adds a strong magnet backing, turning each piece into a functional work of art. This program is calm, creative, and beginner‑friendly, offering a lovely blend of nature, design, and hands‑on crafting that results in unique keepsakes to take home.
