 Hi friends, it's Natalie from Doodlecraft sharing a cute laser cut succulent magnet craft.

These little magnets make the perfect plant lover gift; perfect for the fridge, a Mother's day or teachers appreciation gift, to decorate a locker or just because!

 At-home laser cutters for personal use are becoming common place and they are so much fun.

Turn them into magnets, scale them down for earrings or jewelry, or scale them larger for a welcome sign or home decor.
