Recycled Magnets

Redecorate old refrigerator magnets and turn them into recycled magnets for holding up important school papers, special paintings, or party invitations.

What You'll Need:

  • Markers
  • Poster board or thin cardboard
  • Blunt scissors
  • Flat plastic magnets or magnet strips (available at craft stores)
  • Craft glue

How to Create Recycled Magnets:

Step 1: Draw musical instruments on a piece of poster board or cardboard. Draw a guitar, a saxophone, or piano keys. Cut out each instrument and color them in wild colors.

Step 2: If you have flat, rectangular plastic magnets, you can make new "covers" for them. Glue the instruments to the top of the flat plastic magnets. If you have a magnetic strip, cut a small piece and glue it to the back of the instrument. Display your new magnets on the refrigerator.
