Fabric fridge magnets

I have been looking for ways to perk up my neutral coloured kitchen. Sometime ago I decided to do that with accents in orange. I've picked up a few bits and pieces over time, but there are still a few gaps.

My latest decision was to make fabric covered fridge magnets, to put a splash of colour onto the fridge. They are super easy to make. Here's what I did:

  • take self covered buttons - I used Birch self cover buttons 17mm
  • remove the backs - I did this with pliers
  • cover the buttons per instructions supplied in your pack
  • glue the magnet to the back - the magnet must be smaller than the button, you can also purchase these from the haberdashery section of your craft store - the glue I used was UHU glue

The end result...



Instructions are freely available on the web. I used these instructions from "All Things Lovely". You could also check this site out too "How about orange..."
