Thrifty Thursday: Homemade Shiba Inu Magnets!

As a dog owner, I am constantly looking for new products or designs that show off I am a proud Shiba Inu owner. Most people have never even heard of a Shiba Inu since they are so rare. This is a big problem when us Shiba owners want to show off our most prized possessions. I took it upon myself to create my own Shiba merchandise :)

If you would like to know how to make your very own Shiba Inu magnet, then please keep reading!

First I started off with a trip to my local crafts store, Michaels.

These are the materials you will need:

• Sheets of foam in various colors that you feel best suit the design you want
• Fabric adhesive glue to secure the pieces on well
• A roll of magnetic tape to cut as you wish
• Scissors or maybe an xacto knife would work better
• Model Shiba Inu that I got from google images

Don't forget to use a coupon when buying anything from Michael's, you can always find one online!

I started off with my cut outs:

Trace and cut out the tail and chest pieces:        
         

Cut out the mouth piece:




I freehanded the ears, but feel to cut out      
and trace them if it's easier for you:
         


 Glue on the ears and mouth pieces:

Attach nose, eyes, tongue, and feet pieces.
Then I pop in the freezer for 10 mins so
everything is sealed together:




If you just want to make the face, which is a million times easier, this is how:

Start off with your foam and your cut out:


Trace and cut out:


Make pieces for eyes, eyebrows, nose, whiskers and mouth and attach:
