Thank you! I got the same magnets at Michaels. But I guess I will use more. I just used 4 on the 8 by 10. And I used the E6000 but I will try the gorilla glue. I’ll try again. You know how you just start something and want to finish it? Well that’s me. I just want this project done. Thx again!

Hi there Anne. I bought my magnets at Michael’s You can see the kind that I used in this post: http://adiamondinthestuff.com/2011/01/personal-art-gallery.html

Also in that post you can see that I was using much larger (and heavier) frames to put up on a metal sheet. I had to use quite a few magnets on the really heavy frames to get them to hold. Also, if using heavier frames I would stick with something like E6000 glue or Gorilla glue. I used hot glue on the really light weight frames for the fridge.

I hope some of that helps!!! Good luck!

Please help. Where did you buy the magnets? I tried Home Depot and Michaels and they had small magnets but the lady said they were super strong. I also used industrial strength glue to glue the magnets but they don’t stay on the frig. They keep sliding down. I thought it was because some of the frames were heavy 8 by 10 and so I thought that was the problem but then I went back and saw you had different sizes. I spray painted all the frames and I’m so frustrated they don’t stay up. I didn’t use a glue gun. Don’t know if that’s it. But before I go buying a glue gun I wanted to ask you. Maybe I need to let the glue dry overnight. I don’t know.

I used spray paint and hot glue for the magnets! Have fun!

Brilliant idea. I love pictures and never have enough wall space to display. This is like a bonus spot! Just wondering, did you use spray paint or regular paint. I sometimes use spray paint for projects but have never used on frames. Already found my frames. Can’t wait to start. Oh and regular old Elmer’s glue? I’m off to the craft store as soon as I hear from you!

I have a side by side , so I thought I would get matching Dry eraser boards , one calendar and one smaller one and hang it vertically on the “other side ” with the menu for the week .. Thanks so much for the inspiration !
