Recycle Promotional Magnets And Make Fun Art For Your Fridge!

I really hope you’ve been saving those promotional magnets you get with the pizza delivery or from a myriad of people trying to get you to remember them on your fridge. Because I’ve finally come up with a great project that everyone in the family will love! Simply scrub off the printed paper side after it’s been soaked in hot water, cut the magnet into shapes and play with them on your fridge door to make fun pictures! My kids were so excited when they came home from school and saw this tree on our fridge, and I’m just imagining how fun a whole box of shapes of all kinds could be!

If you want to get fancy, you could of course use some modge podge or glue to adhere some nice paper or  even thin fabric to your magnets before cutting them, but I really like the simplicity of the black and white, plus it took all of ten minutes! The white magnets are a result of not scrubbing off the last layer of paper from the printed side of the magnet.

And now I’d like to share with you the amazing inspiration for this project:

Isn’t it just wonderful? When I saw this creative work of art on the refrigerator at my sewing teacher’s home, I just knew I had to share it with you! Her kids have been playing with little pieces of magnets that were once a long strip inside a refrigerator door, creating new works of art each day. I’m grateful that their ingenuity helped me come up with an idea for today’s post and an activity that we’ll enjoy in our home for years to come I’m sure! Now if I can just remember where I put that stack of magnets I’ve been saving!
