First, before we have something along the lines of the great paint chip debate, this magnet came from the front of our local phone book. They are on there every year. And I don't plan on needing their services in the near future but if I did they have enough tv commercials to remind me who they are so I can look their number up on my iphone while waiting on the ambulance.
Now, that being said who doesn't use these to hold pictures on the fridge? How about adhering the picture to it? Less clutter and major practical!
Choose a picture:
And used mod podge to adhere it to the magnet. Turns out this particular magnet is exactly 4" from top so I only had to trim the sides. I didn't put a coat on top because I didn't think it would need it.
Brilliant idea Lauren!
On a side note did you know that a GE French Door Stainless Steel Fridge is only magnetic on the sides and not the front? Nope, me neither!
Cute, simple, and fun! I like it. Thanks for sharing this. :)

Great idea!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! You have a very cute blog and I like what I'm seeing! And yea, I found out at work that if stainless has high amounts of nickel in it it isn't magnetic. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love it! I'm excited to see what else you come up with and so I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteI'd also love if you'd link this up to my weekly {Re}create Into Something New link party this week which is going on now.

ReplyDeleteCute idea! I'd love to have you link it up to my party at http://scrapbookingez.blogspot.com/2011/12/anything-goes-linky-party_29.html. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I just received 2 magnets in junk mail today! I've got the same non-magnetic fridge door problem though! I'm thinking of putting pictures on magnets for my son to play with on a cookie sheet in the car.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. We get so many promotional items and I hate just throwing them away.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great idea! I hate throwing them away but I don't want random ads on my microwave.
ReplyDeleteCute little girl-big improvement over the ambulance chasers :)
ReplyDeleteThis, too!!! Such a great idea!!!
ReplyDeleteXO, Aimee
DUH! What a great idea. I have a ton of magnets thrown in a drawer in the kitchen and tons of pictures that can be used! Thanks for linking up with Handmade on Humpday-I'm going to feature this next week!
ReplyDeleteI love upcycling, so this is my kind of project. Great job. Thank you for linking it to Fabulous Friday!
ReplyDeleteWarmly, Michelle
What a cute idea. Thank you for linking up to "Strut Your Stuff Saturday." We would love to have you come back Saturday and share more of your incredible ideas. -The Sisters
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This is a perfect way to upcycle those promotional magnets!
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing this for awhile and I love it too! You actually get to see the whole picture, rather than putting a magnet on top of a picture! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. My fridge is a Kenmore and guess what? Yep, only the sides! And only about 2 inches stick out of the cabinet wall. lolol Anyway, thinking of putting a magnetic board on the skinny (about 15 inches) wall just so I can hang daughter's art and of course the new magnets I'm going to make! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the idea!
