Do you want to personalize your refrigerator/ door/magnet board / any metal surface?
Well, it’s actually very easy and all you need are only 3 supplies!
Let’s start:
What you’ll need:
1- stickers or pictures/prints
2- a magnet – if you’re using stickers as I did in this example, you will need a simple magnet like the one I found from advertisers on my front door (they just leave their information on the doors and I have plenty of unused magnets that I don’t need). In case you’re using a simply printed picture or a cut out from a plain non-sticker page, you can use a sticker magnet sheet like this one.
3- scissors
Step 1 – Cutting the image
Cut out the stickers you want to use. Tip: cut around a little more than your final size – this will make the edges of your final magnet look nicer and without an extra magnet edge piping out.
The watercolor animals you see below you can find in my Freebies section – Printable watercolor floral animals.
The Coffee Addict printable stickers you can find in my shop.
You can print all printables on sticker sheets on your home printer or at a local print shop.
Step 2 – Sticking
Stick your stickers on the magnet. If you’re using someone’s magnet as I did – stick it on the colorful front side (otherwise the magnet wouldn’t attach to any metal). In case you’re using a new magnet sheet, make sure which side is the magnetic side. And of course, if you’re using an adhesive magnet sheet, you just stick it on the sticky side.
Step 3 – cutting the magnet
The next step is to cut the magnet. Tip: remember we wanted to cut out our sticker a bit larger, now we will cut a bit inside the sticker to make sure the edges of the sticker and the magnet will be exactly the same.
That’s it!
Your personalized stickers are ready! I said it’s easy, isn’t it?
I hope you enjoyed this DIY tutorial, I would love to see you’re magnets and any other creative idea of how you can use them (making an ABC for children, or printing all family members and making charts on a magnetic board… the ideas are endless)
