    5 Minute Craft: DIY Seed Packet Refrigerator Magnets

    Published by Pam Kessler | 241 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 16 Comments

    Sometimes you need a simple, quick and easy craft. Something that takes 5-10 minutes to complete.

    So you can get in. Get out. And get on with your life.

    Enter my DIY seed packet refrigerator magnets.

    DIY seed packet refrigerator magnet tutorial.

    I dare you to find something easier than this!

    5 Minute Craft - DIY Seed Packet Refrigerator Magnets

    Step 1 - Find some pretty seed packets at the local store.

    Supplies for seed packet decor idea - seed packets and magnetic tape.

    Step 2 - Cut off a piece of self-stick magnetic tape and stick to the back of the seed packet.

    Applying magnets to the back of a seed packet.

    It's the same magnetic tape I used in my Wall Pocket Organizer project last summer (a roll of that stuff goes a LONG way).

    Step 3 - Slap it up on the refrigerator.

    The side of the refrigerator with seed packets and a vintage wall packet attached.

    Sure, you could take the seeds out and actually plant them if you wanted to.

    But then all of a sudden you're traipsing out to the shed to find peat pots and that bag of potting soil you tucked away last summer and get sucked into straightening up the mess the mice have made in the shed. Then you totally blow past the 5-10 minute crafting time frame.

    So what's your time limit for crafting projects? Do you prefer being able to complete them in one sitting? Or do you prefer longer more in-depth projects that take years weeks to complete?

    DIY seed packet refrigerator magnets to bring a little spring to your home decor. A super quick and easy 5 minute craft project.

        No it's not a new trend 🙂 I had changed my font when I first moved to WordPress a few weeks ago and for some reason it's changed itself back to this itty bitty thin one! Driving me batty. I'll change it back and see how long it will stay that way this time. Thanks for reminding me!

      I'm smiling at your NOEL on the frig. I have a load of Easter to put away when we get back from the lake. As you know, I love decorating for the holidays and the house is going to feel empty. I'm ready for spring crafting projects! Cute idea.

      So this project is right up my alley. EXCEPT my stupid stainless refrigerator is not magnetic. What the heck? Who cares. I'm pinning this anyway!

      You are so clever Pam! I love these. Funny but I've never thought of making my own magnets for the fridge. Gosh knows I need all the help I can get remembering things hahaha
      I hope you had a lovely Easter.

      That's a really cute project! Personally, I don't do a lot of crafts, because the tears and swearing were a bit much, but this actually looks like something even I could do 😉
