Weekly Craft Pick: Mini Gilded Frame Magnets
Carrying over the craft from last week, you can make small gilded frames as magnets to put on the fridge or white board! You can get molds on Amazon and use air dry clay or even hot glue to make the frames. Then paint them and add some magnets on the back and all that is left is to add a picture! Happy crafting!
If you've ever enjoyed quick and creative DIY projects, making mini gilded frame magnets is a fantastic choice that brings both style and personalization to your space. Using air dry clay or hot glue, these small frames can be shaped easily with molds—widely available on Amazon—which makes the process approachable even for beginners. One tip I found helpful is to lightly sand the dried clay frames to achieve a smooth surface before painting. This step really enhances the final look, giving them a professional gilded effect when you use metallic gold or bronze paint. Adding a strong magnet on the back ensures your frames stick securely to any magnetic surface. You can personalize these magnets by inserting small photos, artwork snippets, or pressed flowers to make your fridge or office board uniquely yours. These little touches not only brighten up your living space but also make heartfelt, handmade gifts for friends and family. For those interested in expanding the craft, try experimenting with different frame shapes and layering paints to create an aged, vintage look. Seal the finished frames with a clear protective spray to increase durability. I found this craft relaxing and rewarding—an excellent blend of creativity and functionality that anyone can enjoy. Whether displayed at home or the workplace, these mini gilded frame magnets serve as lovely reminders of memories and personal style!
