Minkee Baby Blanket

Check out the latest creation from Porters great associates! This Minkee baby blanket is so fun and easy, anyone can do it. It is tied, not quilted. So if you can sew a straight line you can make this beautiful blanket.

Warning: Minkee is the softest, cuddliest fabric around. We are not responsible for the addictive nature of this fabric. If you are addicted to soft and cuddly, please do not touch the Minkee.

Glass Photo Magnets

Have you discovered the fun of making photo magnets?



Porter's offers three sizes of flat backed glass marbles that are perfect for creating your own magnets. Just attach your favorite photo or scrapbook paper with several coats of Mod Podge.

We have found that on our larger glass marbles you can add the photo to the top or the bottom of the glass. Do several coats of Mod Podge to seal the pictures. When you put the photo on the top of the glass you will need to clean the excess Mod Podge off of the sides.

Another important tip is to copy your photos onto white cardstock. The cardstock absorbs the Mod Podge much better and creates a much clearer image. An original photo takes a long time to dry and is harder to work with.

We suggest you attach your magnets to the back of the glass with either Goop or E-600 glue.

Check out the various sizes of metal we have in stock to help you display your magnets. We have 12"x12", 8"x8", 5"x7", 24" x 24", 4" x 18" and 6 1/2" x 24". We also have lots of wood sizes to choose from to help you make just the right base for your magnetic board. Add a vinyl saying and you have a great way to display notes, reminders, school work, and photos.
