How To Make the Refrigerator Magnet
- First, decide on a theme or background for your magnet, like a chrismtas tree or a favorite type of food.
- You may either make your own background (by drawing it on paper or on a computer) or cut it out.
- Carefully glue the background on anything sturdy, like a cardboard.
- Spruce up your theme with additional color, sparkles, feathers, glitter, etc., or draw in additional details with markers.
- Glue your finished theme onto a clothespin, clip, or clamp.
- Cut a piece of self-sticking magnet and attach it to the other side of the clothespin, or use glue to attach a regular magnet. Your ref magnet is now ready to hold notes, artwork, etc.
