Make Your Own Poem Magnets for Invitations, Favors, or Thank You Gifts

People of all ages are attracted to and interested in funny and creative forms of writing. Poems are one way of expressing your thoughts. Poem magnets can be used for invitations, favors, or thank you gifts for various occasions. By making your own, you can even customize the image and personalized text.

What are the steps for making my own poem magnets?
First, you will need to type your poem on the computer. You can make it more poetic to describe your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It is always best to choose the proper poem for a specific occasion or event for which you will be making invitations, favors, or thank you gifts.

Once you have decided on the poems you like, the second step is to select lettering and font sizes that are big enough for people to read clearly and easily. It is better to make the word size and font the same, for the readers’ convenience. You can also choose the color of your font. Third, place the magnetic sheets in the printer, and print the document on the magnet sheet. Lastly, wait for the ink of the printed poem to dry and then cut them apart using scissors. You can also handwrite your poem if you prefer by using felt tip pen, but still make sure that the ink is dry before handling or touching the words. You can be proud of yourself for making your own creative poem magnets.

Finding poems and images
The best place to find poems and images is by searching online. There are many poems for various occasions available if you don’t want to write your own. Another source for images is stock photography sites, where you can get professional quality images for just a dollar or two. You can also take your own photos or draw your own image and scan it, if you are artistically inclined.

What are the tips in creating them?
When writing, you will need to consider the gender and age. Why is this? Because children can’t grasp the meaning if a poem is too hard to understand. This means that you need to pick your poems so that they will be readable and understandable by kids, teenagers, and adults. Make sure that the style or color suits the specific event. If you are making poem magnets for invitations for weddings, birthdays, baby showers or thank you gifts, you can make it very fashionable. If you are making invitations for seminars or professional meetings, then you can make a standard or formal style of the font.

So, whatever your goal is in making these poem magnets, remember it is easy to do. You can find the materials, steps and other tips or suggestions in order to come up with some of the best poem magnets out there. You should not worry about the cost, because it doesn’t require much material. With a little time and effort, you can make great personalized poem magnets for any occasion on your computer.
