Have I ever told you I originally went to college for an art degree? But then I failed Art History three times (pro tip: if you stop going to class, you will not be able to pass the exams). At that point, I figured third time’s the charm and changed my major. Somehow I ended up a lawyer. I don’t even know.

I still enjoy getting artsy here and there, but history has shown if a project takes more than a few days, it probably won’t ever get finished. Those of you following my Facebook or Instagram feed, already know this. So, nowadays I look for things I can do in small bites, or just a couple sittings. This Simple Magnetic Fridge Frame fit the bill perfectly.

I did this over a couple hours while binge watching Wayward Pines on Hulu. Do you watch that show? I can’t decide how I feel about it. Anyway, depending on how fancy you want to get, this project can be done in as little as five minutes. I used some leftover oops paint and paint pens for mine, but you could use washi tape, or stickers, or even just stick with a plain frame! The possibilities are endless!

Ingredients

▢ Picture frame Just the frame, not the glass or backing. You can find these in abundance at garage sales and thrift shops. Or the bottom of my guest closet.
▢ Scotch® Permanent Mounting Squares
▢ Strong magnets don't use the strip kind, check in the hardware section or online
▢ Decorative items i.e. paint, glitter, stickers, etc.

Instructions

If you're using paint or something messy, tape newspaper or scrap paper over your work area.
Remove any nails or staples that are sticking out (I was able to just bend mine out of the way).
Decorate your frame! I used some leftover oops paint and oil based paint pens. Allow it to dry completely (I hung mine on a tack out of the kids's reach).
Clean the back of your frame according to the Scotch® Permanent Mounting Squares directions, and place the mounting squares evenly around the edges. Stick magnets to mounting squares and allow to set by pressing down for 30 seconds.
Place on your fridge with a favorite picture or weekly menu plan (scroll down to save and print a free copy of mine)!
Enjoy!

How to Make a Simple Magnetic Fridge Frame

To protect my coffee table I used some scrap paper (okay, it was my 2 year old’s art work, don’t tell him!) held down with Scotch® Magic™ Tape. For adhering the magnets, I picked up Scotch® Permanent Mounting Squares from Walmart. I love that there was a Scotch® adhesive product for everything I needed in this project.

I figure with the way my kids slam the fridge door several dozen times a day, I wanted something that was not going to give out on me. Four squares hold up to 1 pound, so I figured with six squares the frame was definitely toddler-proof. At my store, I found them in the hardware section, but Scotch® and Command™ brands are also available in the crafting aisle.
