This easy kids craft project, making a picture frame magnet from a logo promotional magnets & salvaged cardboard is a great rainy day activity.

To make your first picture frame magnet, cut two identical shapes from a piece of recycled cardboard. They can be  circles, squares, ovals, etc. One piece will be the picture frame and the other piece will be the backing.

Cut a hole in the shape of your choice from one of the pieces of recycled cardboard. This will be the picture frame. The uncut piece will be the backing. The hole should be large enough so that the portion of the photo you’re using that you want to show will show. Decorate this piece of recycled cardboard in any way you choose.

Glue the photo onto the cardboard backing. Glue the cardboard picture frame onto the backing over the photo.

Glue the advertising promotional magnet to the back side of the recycled cardboard backing.

You now have a beautiful new picture frame, made from items you might normally have thrown away. So next time you come across one of those ugly promotional magnets, set it aside for this project or one of our other magnet projects.
