Step 1: Gather all your fridge magnets

Pretty self-explanatory: gather all the fridge magnets you don't any more.

You will also need:

white labels to print your images onto
extra white labels to cover your magnets' pre-existing images
packing tape
some fun images
scissors for cutting

Ahhh... upon playing with a couple magnets, I found that you can also peel off the printed layer. Thus exposing the magnet with adhesive. I used my laminater to seal a couple images before sticking them on the old magnets. Such fun.

Cool! :) I tried peeling some of mine, but that didn't work out so well. I was left with a very uneven surface of adhered paper, plastic coating and glue bits. So I found it easier just to go over the printed layer. Thanks for commenting. :)

Cute! I may use this for cute photos of my kids little faces, or even our puppy.
