DIY Magnetic Photo Frames for the Fridge

Frame Your Memories With Personality!

If you’re looking for an easy, low-mess craft that actually gets used (a win for moms everywhere), DIY magnetic photo frames are it. These simple frames are made with magnetic paper sheets, scrapbook paper, and stickers, and they’re perfect for displaying your Persnickety Box photos right on the fridge, locker, or any magnetic surface.

Best part? When your next Persnickety Box arrives, you can swap out the photos in seconds. No tools. No drama. No “where did I put the tape?”

Why We Love Magnetic Photo Frames

Magnetic frames are one of those crafts that check all the boxes: Easy enough for kids to help with, cute enough to actually leave out, and practical enough to keep using all year.

They’re also a great way to show off those monthly photo prints!

What You’ll Need

This craft keeps it simple, no fancy supplies required:

Magnetic paper sheets, from Amazon
Scrapbook or patterned paper
Stickers, washi tape, or embellishments
Scissors
Your favorite Persnickety Box photo prints

How to Make DIY Magnetic Photo Frames

Cut the magnetic sheet into squares larger than 4.5”x4x5" slightly larger than your photo. (As large or small as you like, customize how you want!)
Peel the sticky side of the magnetic sheet and add scrapbook paper on top for color and personality.
Cut out your photo hole slightly smaller than your photo! (Just shy of 4x4” if using a full size Persnickety Box photo)
Decorate with stickers, names, dates, or doodles (this is where kids shine).

Pop your photo behind, stick it on the fridge, and admire your work.

A Perfect Gift

These magnetic photo frames make sweet Valentine’s gifts for grandparents, teachers, or parents, but they’re just as fun for:

Mother’s Day
Father’s Day
Birthdays
Holiday keepsakes
Or just because you finally printed your photos

Switch out pictures each month when your Persnickety Box arrives and turn your fridge into a rotating family gallery.

At Persnickety Box, we’re all about helping families use their photos, not just print them. DIY magnetic frames make it easy to enjoy your pictures daily, involve your kids in something creative, and keep memories front and center.

Now grab the stickers, call the kids over, and let the crafting begin. 💕
(And yes, it’s totally okay if you make a few just for yourself.)
