I was browsing around etsy looking for something new, and I ran across this really cool plexi-glass brooch by AaronJoseph. He describes the Dino Brooch as unisex and kid friendly, but I think “totally awesome” is more like it. And, the best thing is, you can wear your awesome Dino Brooch on any clothing because the dinosaur is held on by a magnet instead of a pin!

My inspiration for making these were the “Tetrius Puzzle Game Magnets” from ThinkGeek. I had a TG gift certificate I had to spend and came across them. I thought they would be cool to put on the fridge or on my metal cabinet at work. As luck would have it, they were out of stock at the time and I started thinking… it should be easy to make something like that at home for much less than $10 for a set. So, what follows is how to make your own.
