Hello, hello, hello! I’m Thursday (a girl, not a weekday) and I’m quite excited to be here today to share a quick and cute DIY with you all.
I’m a cinch for a kitschy magnet – that’s why I’ve been making my own for years. Often time I run into vintage artwork that I adore and want to have in my sight constantly. So if the piece is small enough I’ll often turn that funny clipping into a moveable fixture on my fridge.
Want to see how I do it?
#1 – Gather your materials. You’ll need a magnet sheet, scissors, a craft knife and your artwork.
#2 – Cut out your artwork.
#3 – Decide on placement before you expose the adhesive side of the magnet.
#4 – Peel back the protective layer of the magnet. Place your artwork carefully – the adhesive is very sticky! Go slow because trying to reposition is impossible.
#5 – Using your craft knife carefully cut out your artwork. Fair warning – your hand will get stuck to the magnet about a billion times.
#6 – You’ve reached the finish line! Use your silly new magnets to decorate any metallic (er, um magnetic) surface.
This idea can be used for an endless number of projects – displaying family photos, Save the Date cards, a common to-do list, even as a project at a child’s birthday party!
Hope you had fun getting crafty with me today. If you ever want to hang out (maybe have a sleepover) then you should stop by the blog and say hello. I’d love new friends!

Fab idea. I’m definitely doing this!
Aww, that Miss Thursday is a clever lady! And I love the little George cameo, what a cutie! I can never justify buying books and things because I never knew what I would do with them, I’ll be keeping an eye out now!
This is fun! I did something like this a while back with some paper dolls. I’d dress the doll on the fridge each day ๐
Melanie – I love that idea!!
Love this!!!! Where would one purchase these said magnet sheets? I have altogether too many Archie comics at my house just waiting to be on my fridge!
I found the magnet sheets at the dollar store but you can also find them priced more expensively at craft stores ๐
Love this, and love Mel’s suggestion too!
hehe this is such a fun, unique and cool idea!! i love thursday!! ๐
Such a fun idea! I don’t know where to but the magnet sheet in Indonesia tho. ๐

Oh my gosh I had totally forgotten about Katy Keene! She was better than Barbie when I was little. Thanks for the memory ๐
