There are actually several options for wonderful DIY projects you can do as far as making your own fridge magnets like
Photo Paper Magnets Print out your favorite family photos on printer paper, hot glue them to large magnets, then give them a good coat of mod podge to seal. DIY Magnet Photo Puzzle Have a photo puzzle printed out, complete the puzzle, then adhere it to a large magnet sheet, cut out the individual pieces with an x-acto knife, and use mod podge to give them all a top coat for protection. Note: This would work best with a puzzle with only a few larger pieces. Picture Frame Magnets Find small lightweight frames (3x5 or 4x6), glue a business card size magnet on the back, and then fill them with personal photos and you have personalized magnets with a few easy steps. The hard part of any of these projects is creating just a few and not an entire collection!
