These Halloween DIY Felt Fridge Magnets are so much fun to make!

How much fun are fridge magnets!? So much fun. In England, our fridge wasn’t magnetic. It sort of had a cupboard-like door on it, which meant we couldn’t actually put magnets on it. But here in NZ I made sure we had a magnet-savvy fridge. Continuing with the Halloween craft posts of this week, today I thought I’d show you how to make some Halloween-inspired fridge magnets! That way, if you’re not one to decorate your house, you can still have a bit of Halloween, without over doing it. They are super easy, just a little fiddly at times.

What you’ll need:

• Felt in Halloween colours (I found this was a good project to use up some felt scraps I had)
• Glue (PVA or Mod Podge, or something similar that dries clear)
• Small paintbrush (for gluing)
• Scissors
• Card/paper (optional)
• Magnets (either individual ones or in a sheet that you can cut)

Okay! So if you’re like me and you aren’t very good at cutting felt into shapes, create some templates with card or paper in the shapes you’d like to make. I did a pumpkin, a rounded rectangle for a Frankenstein head, a witch’s hat and a ghost shape. If you rock at cutting without a template, by all means skip this step.

Next, using your templates, cut out your felt shapes. Now you need to decide what kind of faces/looks your Halloween magnets are going to have. This is where small, sharp scissors come in handy, so you can cut out the details. Then grab your glue and carefully stick the faces/details onto the base shapes you cut out previously.

When they’re done, stick your magnets on the back. I had magnet sheets, and one side was sticky, so I simply cut out some square/rectangular shapes and placed them on the back.

And you’re done! Stick them on the fridge!
