Magnetic Photo Frame {with free printable}

Who says a picture frame can’t be door decor?   I wanted to add more embellishments to a picture frame so I decided to back it with galvanized metal so that I had a magnetic photo frame.   Each month I can just change out the printable and add new embellishments for a new custom look each season.

Supplies:

Old picture frame

Galvanized roof flashing

Tin Snips

Ribbon

Hot Glue Gun

felt protectors

Spray paint (optional)

Strong Magnets

Scrapbook Embellishments or any other doodads you want to use for magnets

1.   Take some tin snips and cut the metal down to size.   I bought a huge roll of it at Menards for about $14 in the roofing department.   I cut mine down to an 8” x 10” piece.   It will be a rough cut but it doesn’t matter since it will be hidden.   You just want its awesome magnetism.

2. I found an old brass photo frame at a yard sale last season for a quarter.   I spray primered and painted it white.

I love the little swirly flowers on this frame…

2.   Then I put the glass in and printed out my Easter printable and put that in the frame as well.   It is available for download under “free downloads” on my menu or by clicking here. I have it available in 5” x 7”, 8” x 10” or 8 1/2” x 11. Then I put the galvanized roof flashing on top of that.

3. Then I hot glued some sheer ribbon onto that.

4.   Then I put the backing on and added some felt protectors to the corners so it wouldn’t scuff up my door.

5. I took some scrapbook embellishments and hot glued them onto felt.   Then I hot glued really strong magnets on the back.   The simple craft ones don’t work you need metal magnets found at the craft store.

Now I have a cute frame to put all those awesome printables in and can add fun little embellishments directly onto the glass.

This printable is a quick last minute addition to your Easter décor.   So go ahead and print as many as you want.

I think these frames would make great gifts with a bunch of embellishments and printables for them to change out.   I am thinking Mother’s Day right around the corner!

You can write on the glass with chalk-ink or dry erase markers.

You can add a picture on the glass with magnets.

You can leave a note on the board.
