Fridge Magnet Makeover - Arts, Crafts and DIY

26 Comments

This is a fun project to brighten up the fridge with magnets that you don't want to look at but are handy to have around like calendar magnets your get in the mail that may be out of date.

Material

Old fridge magnets
Coloured cardboard
stickers, pom poms, googly eyes etc
PVA or glue stick

Method

Cut your fridge magnet to the desired shape and size (if required)
Glue your cardboard to the magnet
Decorate however you want. Glue on pom poms, googly eyes or even stickers

Notes

I did an organise of my fridge and realised I had a lot of magnets that I no longer needed the contact for or it was a calendar out of date. Instead of getting rid of them my son and I decided to brighten up the fridge and recycle the old magnets. We had so much fun and I love how colourful and fun the fridge is now.

Want other brilliant projects sent to you?

Great suggestion, so many old magnets gathering dust down the side of our fridge!

Great idea, and we all have the plain magnets around, time for a change.
