As my refrigerator became masked with postcards, birthday notes, invitations and vintage Polaroids, my collection of mismatched magnets started to make my display appear junky. After refusing to edit down my favorite moments and souvenirs, I decided to switch my focus to the magnets. I transformed my neon alphabet letters to graphic color-blocked magnets. This simple DIY reflected a more modern style, while highlighting my adored mementos. Whether you want a fresh kitchen update or a budget-friendly gift, we’ve got you covered.

Materials:

  • Wooden alphabet magnets
  • White spray paint
  • Metallic spray paint
  • Painter’s tape
