Counted cross-stitch fridge magnets

Hello! This is my first instructable. It's not really something complicated that requires step-by-step directions, but I still wanted to share the idea. Enjoy !

Step 1 Materials

You will need...

Embroidery floss
Embroidery needles
Scissors
Canvas
A simple image you like
Self adhesive magnets (I purchased leftovers from a print shop, but they are also available in arts and crafts stores)
Depending on the size of your canvas, you should use a different size of image. For exemple, if your canvas is very big, a complex image will turn out huge. I had good results with nintendo sprites on big canvas.

If i was to glue the magnets on, what type of glue would you suggest?

these are adorable. i imagine a "how to cross stitch" i'ble might make you real popular around here!

Thanks! I just started cross stitching and was looking for a way to make sew on patches, and I think that this will work, minus the magnets.

And now I can make magnets too!
