- Take an old CD jewel case that is not scratched up.
- Pop open the middle piece where the CD sits, take out the back jacket (figure A) and replace the middle piece.
- Trace the outline of the front CD flap on your picture so you will know how big it needs to be (jewel cases measure 4 3/4" by 4 11/16"). Cut to fit frame (figure B).
- If your picture is not big enough, cut a piece of construction paper to fit.
- Glue picture to paper, centering it so it will look nice (figure C).
- Then slide the picture in the little tabs and shut the case.
- Next hot-glue the magnets (figure D) on the back side and let cool.
- Decorate the front of the case as desired with paint pens or puffy paint, or by gluing on trinkets.
- Stick on refrigerator or any magnetic surface.
Tips: - Safety comes first. Always have an adult around with hot glue.
- You can use many different brands of puffy paint or paint pens.
