My mom has these two frames in her house that are magnetic and super cool for pictures. I love the idea of having a place to share pictures with visitors and that is easy to change. I like my framed pictures but I thought this would work well and easy to change. I saw her frame and thought, “I could make that for a lot less.” So here are my directions to do, just that.

What you’ll need:

1  12×12 frame
1 12×12 sheet of magnetized metal
1 flour sack towel
double-side tape

Note: I got my supplies at Craft Warehouse for under $15.00

Step 1: Place double-sided tape along one side of the 12×12 metal sheet.

Step2: Lay the 12×12 metal sheet on top of the white flour sack towel.

Step 3: Adhere the flour sack fabric to the double-sided tape.

Step 4: Complete steps 1-3 for each of the four sides.

Step 5: Flip the 12×12 metal over as shown below.

Step 6: Flip your 12×12 frame over and remove the backing.

Step 7: Remove the glass too.

Step 8: Place the covered metal in the frame.

Step 9: Place the cardboard backing back on your frame.

Step 10: Your project should look like this.

Step 11: The final project should look like this.

I can’t believe that it turned out so great! I can’t believe the money I saved either. The original frame, that my mom has, now costs $50.00. I spent $15.00 and about 30 minutes.

I’ve made two of these already and put them up on the wall as you come into our home. I love them because I can put new pictures there for a while. Once I’m bored with them, I print new ones and post them… the best thing is I can use the pictures for my scrapbook pages later.
