Instructions:

1. Mix your magnetic paint well, then paint all three paperweights with it. Allow plenty of time for paperweights to dry.

2. Use a coat or two of your acrylic paint to cover your paperweights. Set them aside to try.

3. Glue your paperweigths on top of one another. You can place your paperweight asymmetrically for added visual interest.

4. Slap your paper clips all over the paperweights, where they will stay in place until you need to use them.
