DIY Airplant Magnets, you guys! This project is so appropriate with the announcement of our move to Tucson, Arizona! I’m into all the desert-y plants so this could be a good thing? I love airplants. They’re fun little accessories to any space, but they kind of just sit there. I need my airplants to serve a purpose. And since I can’t eat them, the next logical idea was to turn them into magnets. You heard me. Magnets! Let’s do this. buy Lasix over the counter
Materials Needed:
- assorted mini airplants
- round black magnets
- hot glue gun
- a beverage of some sort to keep you hydrated while you work
So easy, no?!? Simply place a small (very small!) dollop of hot glue on the bottom of each plant and gently place a round magnet over the top. Let it set for 30 seconds and you’re good!
That was a lot of work. I hope you drank your drink, my friends. Hydration is important. For you AND the plants.
The airplants can still be watered regularly. When watering airplants, you place them upside down in a bowl of water, so the magnets won’t even be touched! The plants also grow from the top so you odn’t have to worry about new airplanty-twigs trying to get out from under the magnet.
And then ya know, I had to go and collect all the notepads and accessories from Target’s new line in the dollar bins!!!!
I think these little magnet buddies will fit in nicely in our new desert home. Our new desert home that we hope to find this weekend when we take a lil’ trip to Arizona! Keep up with the house-hunt over on #Insta!
I’ve been a little obsessed with magnets lately and have more mag-projects coming soon! Tell me, what would you turn into a magnet if you could?! buy levaquin over the counter

Soooo cute!!! I’m in DRY Idaho and this is a great idea to make for friends and family!!! This may be a silly question: where do you find airplants??? (I kept reading airplanes thru the whole article. Silly brain of mine!) xo
Tami!!! Where in Idaho?! My husband is from Idaho Falls! You can get the airplants (airplanes!) at plant nurseries! They come in tons of different sizes! These little guys were about $3/pop!
Lexi!! You are so adorable!!! Thank-you for tips & ideas!! I’m in Middleton Idaho! I know where Twin Falls is!!!! Xo
Oops I meant Idaho Falls! And Lexy!!! Sorry:-)
I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I kept wondering why their were no Airplanes in the pictures! He he…
What a great idea! I’ve never seen air plants on sale in real-life stores, maybe online shops will be my saviour! Need to do a proper search

THanks, Rita!!! You should most def do a proper search! 😉 These are from a gift boutique here in Denver, but I have purchased airplants of all sizes at plant nurseries!
This is so clever, Lex. Love it!!
Really, really adorable!
This is such a great idea, I love them! They would look so cute on my fridge. I’ve included your tutorial in my Five on Friday post today. Have a great weekend 🙂
You can purchase airplants (tillandsia)plants
Online. Or visit florida !! They are all over
Down here! Keep them away from anything
Copper as it is toxic to them. Also they enjoy
Humid conditions & indirect sunlight.
If you mist/water once a week, don’t let
Them soak for a long time. They need
Air circulation to keep them happy.
Enjoy them – they are AWESOME !
Aw these are so cute! Need to make some for my office, for sure!
Liz! Heck yeah, you do! They belong in EVERY office! 🙂
