I love displaying photos on my refrigerator ~ just another thing that makes me happy(: Although magnetic frames are readily available at craft stores, I have never found one in a color that goes with my kitchen. So I thought I would try making one myself.
First, I gathered my supplies: Scrapbook paper Small poster board Adhesive backed magnets Spray adhesive (a hot glue gun would work) See through ruler Rotary cutting tool (scissors would also work)
I drew two 6 1/2" x 4 1/2"rectangles, and cut them out. On one of the rectangles, I drew and cut an opening 4 1/2" x 2 3/4".
I cut stripes from the scrapbook paper to cover the edges of the opening
and carefully glued them.
I attached the front and the back only along the edges of the sides and bottom ( I wanted to be able to change photos.) Lastly, I added the magnets to the back. It looks great along side some magnetic corks!
