Step 5Glue in the Magnets
The magnets need to be installed in a particular order, so that everything sticks together happily when the glue dries.
Mix up a small batch of epoxy.
Grab the front half of the animal, and glue one magnet in place with a small dab of epoxy. Direction doesn't matter.
Take the second magnet, and stick it (magnetically) onto the one that was just glued in. This is to determine polarity. Flip that magnet over, and glue it into the adjacent hole on the same half. This way, the half will have a "north" and "south" pole facing out.
Stick the third magnet onto the first one, again to determine polarity. Flip the magnet over, and glue it into the position opposite the first magnet, on the back half of the animal.
Stick the fourth magnet onto the third one, flip it over, and glue it in place. The back half of the animal should now have a "south" and "north" pole facing outward, that mate up with the north and south of the front half of the animal.
And that's it! Wait for the epoxy to fully dry, and the picture holders are ready to use!
