an easy project

To start things off, I want to apologize for the lack of posting; I caught a yucky bug over the weekend and was a bit out of it. Anyway, I am back and feeling better now, so I thought I would share a super quick project I did to tidy up our fridge.

Justin and I had a few pictures from our wedding on the fridge and noticed they began to curl up a little. Well, not wanting them to get ruined, I came up with a solution. I know, easy right, get those magnetic plastic photo holders, or the super cute frames. My problem with these were, I didn't like how the photo fit into the plastic (too much around the edges), and I really didn't want to spend much money on the project (those photo frames can get pricey).

So I just got a package of the plastic magnetic photo holders (3 4x6's for $2 at hobby lobby), then I picked up a few pre-cut mats (around $1 each), then just stuck them together. *colored mats could look really great too.

I know what you are saying, "did you really just write an entire blog post about this silly project", answer - yes, I even took pictures.

almost there: *I would suggest putting the picture in before adhering the mat, it is easier to get in and you can hide parts of the picture if you want.
result:
I promise to have more interesting posts soon.
*Note: I do actually really like what they look like and just wanted to share.
