Artsy reminders for your fridge
Here's a great idea inspired by Real Simple Magazine's article on turning old frames into refridgerator art. If you have any old frames lying around the house--and you probably do--you can make these little friendly reminders with green thinking messages inside.
Here's what you do:
Step 1: Find old frames that are not too heavy.
Step 2: Decorate the frame however you wish. You could paint it, sand it to make it look antique, glue shells on it or cover it with stickers. Be creative!
Step 3: Design your message to go inside the frame. It can say anything that you think is important to remember, like "Turn off the lights!" or just a little reminder to "think green today". Put your message inside the frame.
Step 4: Once the frame is ready, glue old magnets, or new magnet strips, to the back.
Step 5: Put your new message frame on the fridge or somewhere magnetic and you're done. Good job!
