Patriotic Cowboy Boot Fridge Magnet
I just love cowboy boots. They come in a myriad of colors and the wilder the better. So I decided to decorate the fridge with an easy magnet painted in minutes and you can too. It makes a great party favor as well! Please enjoy all the wonderful creativity at paintpartyfriday.blogspot.com
You will need:
Magnetic sheet with adhesive
Small amount of watercolor paper
Acrylic paint in navy, red, white and black
Small paintbrush
Pencil, ruler, scissors, graphite paper to transfer pattern
Modpodge or other acrylic finish
Small sequin and tacky glue
1. Print full size pattern. Transfer pattern to paper side of magnetic sheet. Cut out. Transfer pattern to watercolor paper. Paint the watercolor paper as shown. (See photo) Let dry. Add a coat of Modpodge over the paper boot to protect it and let it dry completely. Cut out watercolor paper boot.
2. Remove the paper backing from the magnetic sheet and attach the painted boot to the adhesive. Trim off any excess magnet so that magnet and paper match up.
3. Add a sequin to represent a spur with a dab of glue if desired.
You can also make this a recycling project if you happen to have a advertising magnet that is big enough. Simply paint the boot on watercolor paper as before and then glue to the advertising magnet.

Thank you for sharing your cowboy boot magnet. I too love cowboy boots. I have not been able to wear them for a long time. Next week I have surgery on my foot and I told my husband that when my foot is healed that will be my first shoe that I buy. A pair of cool cowboy boots!!!
