I had a whole bag of scrabble tiles leftover from another project (more on that another time) that were crying out to be repurposed. I’ll be going through a few ideas over the coming weeks. First up, we have fridge magnets:

You could spell out lovely messages according to what’s being displayed (as with the invitation above) or go a bit more practical as in the examples below:


Although I have to admit the lack of punctuation in this last one offends the pedant in me.
Grammar aside, here’s the so-simple-I-wonder-why-I-did-a-tutorial instructions:
You will need:
1. Apply small dab of glue onto reverse of tile.
2. Press magnet into glue. Allow to dry.
What would you like to spell out with your magnets?


I posted a link to this in my Weekly Favourites post on my blog – http://the-red-deer.blogspot.com/2011/01/weekly-favourites_23.html
Thanks so much, Alicia!
I absolutely LOVE this
I’m going to make these this afternoon!!
Happy crafting, Anne Marie!
I love this idea. Do you think that they would scratch a stainless refrigerator? My bulldog clip magnets have, and now I’m magnet-shy. Thanks!
The backs of the magnets are smooth so they might be OK. I don’t have a stainless fridge though, so I can’t make any guarantees. Perhaps try them on an inconspicuous part of the fridge first.
