My fridge has become a catch-all for pictures, appointment cards/invites, notices, and artwork. I thought it would be fun to make some super cute (not to mention... easy, quick, and inexpensive!) magnets. I am already feeling more at peace with the chaos covering my fridge. :-)
Check out the three magnet projects I did, and let me know what you think.
Project #1: Clothespin magnets
You'll need:
- clothespin
- magnet strip (I cut mine from a roll)
- ribbon
- button (or other embellishment)
- glue gun
Directions:
1) Using your glue gun, glue the ribbon to the outside of the clothespin. Add a button for embellishment.
2) Attach a strip of magnet to the back of the clothespin.
Project #2: Photo magnets
You'll need:- Pictures
- Photo Magnet paper (I got mine at the Dollar Store)
- Scissors
Directions:
1) Cut the paper to the rough size of the photo.
2) Remove the paper from the back of the magnet paper, and attach photo. Cut out the picture.
Project #3: Photo pockets
You'll need:
- Labels or stickers
- Magnetic Photo Sleeves
Directions:
1) Attach labels or stickers to identify the contents of the photo sleeve. Then, use the sleeve as a "pocket" for loose papers that you might need to keep handy. I like to use mine for appointment cards, birthday invites, etc....
Which is your favorite?
