Usually our refrigerator is decorated to the nines with fabulous artwork from the three greatest artists on this planet. I’m certainly not complaining. It’s definitely a blessing to be given these carefully crafted masterpieces to hang proudly on our fridge.
I was thinking that it would be nice to find some way to display them in a way that didn’t make the fridge look junky showcased them. I don’t remember if I saw this idea somewhere–maybe pinterest because that’s where I see tons of fabulous ideas. Either way, I had been wanting to make these for a very long time–magnetic picture frames!
So usually this is the front of our fridge. Definitely a lot of time, talent, and love went into making this happen. Even the magnets were made by our little artists.
Supplies
There are only three supplies needed. And this is a super cheap project! The picture frames I purchased that the good ole’ Dollar Tree. I got the certificate size to make sure that the paper fits nicely inside.
$1.00 x 3 = $3.00
The other two items needed are magnets (nice thick round magnets work great) and a hot glue gun (preferably with the glue stick or else having the glue gun won’t be important anymore).
$3.00 for magnets
Amazing Artwork- Free!
Total cost: $6.00, although you only use 4 magnets for each frame, so you’ll have a lot left over for the next project.
How To Make it
- Take out the glass, paper, and backing.
- Bend back the prongs that keep all of those good things inside until they are flush with the frame. We don’t need these anymore.
- Glue one magnet to each corner of the frame.
- Insert your artwork into each frame and hang!
You now have a fabulous art gallery right in your very own kitchen.
I did have to add a couple of my favorites back onto the other side. They deserve to have a place there.
