Photo Mat Refrigerator FramesAwhile back I purchased some magnetic plastic refrigerator frames. They weren't very durable to I decided to try making my own. Photo mats are great for this because they are lightweight and come in multiple sizes.

Supplies:

  • photo frame mat (any size)
  • acrylic paints
  • paint brush
  • magnets
  • hot glue gun
supplies
 

Steps:

  1. Cover your work surface with paper. Then paint the mat in the colors you have chosen. Once you have applied a layer of paint, shift the mat over a bit so that it won't stick to the paper as it dries.
  2. apply paint 1
     
  3. Apply a total of 2-3 layers of paint for uniform coverage. Allow to dry completely.
  4. apply paint 2
     
  5. Test fit the item you wish to hang on the back of the mat. This will allow you to determine proper magnet placement so that it will hold your item securely to the refrigerator.
  6. determine magnet location

These fridge frames are a great way to make your refrigerator look organized. These frames are inexpensive to make and hold up better than the store bought variety.
