FRIDGE DOOR DRESS UP

No need for a boring fridge door when you can have a fun one for free. Add some life to your bills and notes by attaching them to the fridge door with creative magnets. Take a little time out of your day, listen to some music, and start crafting away. Here are two different ideas for magnets... pick which one you like best or create both.

CREATION: Refrigerator Magnets

WHAT YOU NEED:

Use round or shaped beads... just make
sure they are clear so you can see the
image through it.

• Clear circular glass chips rounded on the top (get large ones) or Beer caps for IDEA 2
• Magazine clippings ( you can use different themes... here are some ideas: use small antique portraits from an old book, use letters from the alphabet so you can spell out words, use all back and white for a cohesive look)
• Magnetic disks or magnetic strips
• Glue 
• Paintbrush
• Scissors

DIRECTIONS FOR IDEA 1: 

1. Cut your images into circles... slightly smaller than the back of the glass chips
2. Apply the glue with the paintbrush to the front of the image ( you can slightly water down the glue if it is too thick)
3. Apply to image to the back of the glass chip so you can see the image through the front
4. Let dry and then cover the back with glue again to make sure the image stays glued to the glass chip
5. Now glue the magnetic strip or circle to the back of the image
6. Let dry
7. Repeat steps 1-6 to make more fun magnets 
8. When your finished, go make your fridge look pretty

DIRECTIONS FOR IDEA 2:

With a cool image in the center, the
beer cap gives the image a nice frame.

1. Cut your images into circles... just large enough so they will fit inside the beer cap
2. Apply the glue with the paintbrush to the back of the image
3. Apply the image to the inside of the beer cap
4. Re-coat the image with glue
5. Now glue the magnetic strip or circle to the back of the beer cap
6. Let dry
7. Repeat steps 1-6 to make more fun magnets 
8. Now make your fridge a creative piece of art
