Note From Mom:

The humidity here is atrocious this week. Even sitting outside the fireworks on Wednesday long after the sun had set, you still became instantly sticky. Yuck!

That meant that we haven’t spent much time outside this week. When we’re stuck inside and mommy has to get work done, that means lots of crafts.

[bctt tweet=”Tired of your refrigerator looking like an overwhelming art exhibit? Tame is with this DIY Kids Artwork Frame Fridge Magnet! ” username=”diyadulation”]

Now I have a stack of new drawings and designs that the kids cannot bear to part with. (Sigh…) When Jude came up with this idea, I piggy-backed a little to help tame the artwork chaos.

Each kid gets one frame for the fridge and can choose one piece of artwork to go in it. Outside of that, no more paper clutter on the fridge. Yay!

If your fridge has become a messy gallery of artwork, make this DIY kids artwork frame fridge magnet. Then totally steal my new clutter-free refrigerator idea.

This DIY kids artwork frame fridge magnet help you cut down on the paper clutter on your refrigerator without the fight. Kids are more than happy to display their favorite pieces in a personalized frame! They won’t even mind changing them out as new creations are made.

I honestly wish I had thought of this idea sooner because it’s brilliant. The kids never want to lose any of their artwork and the collection had gotten ridiculous. Now they think about which ones are important enough to display and which one can get filed or recycled.

See where I’m linking up!
