10 DIY Fridge Magnet Ideas You Need To See
Awesome DIY Fridge Magnet Ideas
A fridge is a wonderful place to put magnets. Actually there isn’t much metal surface around our house that allows us to put magnetized things. So, the fridge is like our only option. That’s exactly why it deserves to have something special than just a normal fridge magnet. Today, we are going to explore way more options to DIY fridge magnets into something a little bit extraordinary.
1. Clock
In this DIY, a cheap clock is required. It will be disassembled to get the working mechanism out. You can get a strip magnet to attach at the back. Then, with your creativity, you can put anything as the time label. This is optional considering we already can tell the time by looking at the position of the hands.
Alternate idea.
We can use fancy fridge magnets to decorate around the clock. Putting the fridge clock at the side can be a good idea. You’ll have more space for other magnet ideas at the front of the fridge.
2. Candy Can Container
Turn your candy cans into a fridge magnet. It can help you store things such as pens, scissors, or a pen-shaped mini torchlight. The idea is very simple. You just need to glue a magnet at the end of the case. You won’t have trouble finding a pen with this idea.

If wood working is your interest, you can easily make a neat looking bottle opener. This flat design is just the right thing to put on your fridge. It is slim and doesn’t get in the way. The wooden handle also provides a tiny area for you to decorate it.
4. Magnet Pen
Cut out a small part of the ink tube in the pen and put a magnet in. This is how you’ll get a magnetized pen. If you can’t find a small magnet that fits the tube, I guess you could just simply glue any kind of magnet that you can find on the outer surface of the pen. It may not be aesthetically pleasing but it does the job perfectly.
5. Alphabet Magnets
Write a simple message on your fridge door by repurposing old alphabetical toys. Spray them with metallic paint to give it an elegant look. Then, glue some magnets at the back of them. We won’t be needing papers to put up our messages now. Save the environment, go green!
Alternate idea.
You can also use scrabble set for this idea since they have more letters. Construct your message at the main door of the fridge and leave the rest sticking to the sides of the fridge for a clutter-free display.
6. Magnetic Racks
A rack is always useful. And you can never go wrong to have a rack or two hanging on your fridge wall. Stick a few strong magnets onto the side of a plastic rack and turn it into a magnetic rack. Now, you can put can openers or bottle openers in them. It’s up to you whether you want ot put it at the sides or at the front of the fridge.
7. Clothes Pin
Hang any piece of papers on the fridge with these cloth pin magnets. You can put up a display of your favorite photos. Or display message notes for anyone in the house. Decorate the clothes pin with some washi tapes or spray with metallic paint for a nice finishing touch. It’s also a great idea if you want to put some essential oil on them. It will leave your kitchen smell good.
8. Spice Holders
Organize your spice with this neat trick. Try and find bottles with transparent caps so that you can see what’s inside and when you need to restock. Spices are light so you don’t have to put too much magnets to hold the case. Putting labels on them will help you identify your ingredients quicker as well.
9. Tiny Pot
Your kitchen deserves some green decor as well. For this idea, you will need tiny pots. Hot glue gun is used to stick the magnets to the pot. Cactus is one of the most suitable plants for this purpose because it requires less watering and can withstand head. It should be fine if you stick them to the side of the fridge where it’s slightly warm.
10. Cups
Having cups within reach makes it convenient for one to pour him/herself a drink. Stick two circular magnets at the back to secure your cup. But, don’t let laziness kick in. Wash the cups first before putting them back onto the fridge.
Basically, magnets come in two forms: cylindrical and thin pad shape. With these two, we can make pretty much everything small into fridge magnets. Let your minds be free and explore your options. You never know you might discover a nice item to transform into fridge magnet with the power of your creativity. If you have anything useful ideas on fridge magnet, let us know!
