Refrigerator magnets are great crafts projects because you can work with any theme. If you’re targeting sports fans, make magnets out of sports team logos or athletic gear; if your buyer is a foodie, make a magnet out of mini-chopping board; if it’s Christmas, make Christmas tree magnets! The list is endless. You can tie-up with companies or party organizers to sell them as giveaways.
Materials Needed
* Magnet, P20 for a small piece
* Theme or background material
* Clothespin, clip, or clamp
* Scissors
* Glue
* Decorations

6 Easy Steps to Make Refrigerator Magnet
1. First, decide on a theme or background for your magnet, like a Christmas tree or a favorite type of food.
2. You may either make your own background (by drawing it on paper or on a computer) or cut it out.
3. Carefully glue the background on anything sturdy, like a cardboard.
4. Spruce up your theme with additional color, sparkles, feathers, glitter, etc., or draw in additional details with markers.
5. Glue your finished theme onto a clothespin, clip, or clamp.
5. Cut a piece of self-sticking magnet and attach it to the other side of the clothespin, or use glue to attach a regular magnet. Your ref magnet is now ready to hold notes, artwork, etc.
Tips:
You may omit the clamp and put the magnet directly on the back of your themed cutouts, but then it makes the ref magnet les functional.
How Much Will I Make
To obtain your selling price, add 30 to 50 percent markup on the total production cost. Try to sell in bulk so that you earn by volume.
