Well, after a longer than planned hiatus from crafting, we're back with another EASY, fun project! If you're anything like me, your fridge is probably one giant photo collage with almost every inch covered with fun memories. And of course, many pictures require many magnets! Here's a simple, cute way to hold up your favorite photos:

You will need:
-Mini canvases - found at Michaels Craft Store - only $5 for a pack of 8.
-Paint - I used Acrylic
-Paintbrushes
-Sticky magnet strips or dots


 
(this awesome paintbrush set was only $4.99 at Michael's!)
 
The instructions are pretty basic...just grab a paintbrush and go to town! Paint your favorite quote, flowers or even show some pride for your favorite college team. Just remember to give each coat a few minutes to dry before painting over it.


 
(Go SOONERS!)

When you're finished painting and have let the canvas dry, cut a square of the magnet strip and apply to the back of the canvas. Mine already had a sticky side, but a glue gun would work if yours didn't.


Now just grab your favorite pictures and hope you have an empty spot on the fridge for your new magnets!


Until next time....
