Step 2Attaching decorations to magnets
Don't separate the magnets, as it's easier to hold them in a "bar" than to handle them individually. Place a small drop of superglue on one of the ends. Be sure that it doesn't flow down in between the top magnet and the next.
Pick up one of the crystals with the forceps and place it on the glue. You'll find that if your tweezers are made of metal, they will glom onto the stack of magnets, possibly causing you to drop the crystal, which is why plastic ones would be better. An alternative is to place a crystal facedown on a surface and then dab the glue-covered magnet onto it.
Since superglue sets very quickly (duh!), you have only a few seconds to reposition it by pushing it around with the toothpick. Allow the glue to dry for a few minutes.
