Decorate Your Refrigerator

Do you have these kinds of boring magnets on your fridge. I have had these collecting on my refrigerator for quite some time now. I finally got sick of them the other day and decided to make something out of them.
You will need some magnets, scrapbook paper scraps, mod podge and some scissors.
Find scrapbook paper pieces that fit your magnets.
Paint a layer of mod podge on the top of the magnet and then press the paper on top. Use your fingers to flatten it out and make sure there are no bubbles. Then paint another layer of mod podge on top of the paper. Let them dry.
When they are dry you can cut them out into any shape you desire. (I did letters)
I had some that needed some cut out of the middle so I used an exacto knife to make a small hole and then used my scissors to cut it out.
Now you have fun magnets for your fridge!
Here is another fun magnet project. For this one you will need some magazines, mod podge, glass beads, magnets and scissors.

Cut out pieces of the magazine the same size as the bead.
Paint a thin layer of mod podge on the top of the paper and then stick the glass bead on top.
Use your fingers to press down the egdes.
Let them dry. When they are dry you can hot glue a magnet on the back
and stick it on your fridge!
One more magnet project. For this one you will need a pocket out of a old pair of pants. Cut it out about 2 inches around the pocket. Hot glue down the egdes except for the 2 sides. Place a really strong magnet down on the fabric and then put a ring of hot glue around the magnet, but not touching the magent. then press the fabric down so the magnet has a little bit of room to slide around. Trim the excess fabric on the sides.

It should look like this when your done.
Stick it on your fridge and put whatever you would like it it!
Now go and make your refrigerator all fancy! Have fun!
