What You’ll Need:
- 1.25” x ⅛” wooden hexagon pieces. These are usually sold at your local craft and supply store in the amount of 25 to 50 pieces.
- 1” x ⅛” wooden hexagon pieces. These are slightly smaller and usually come in a bigger pack of 100 pieces. (Meaning you can make plenty of these decorations!)
- Hot glue gun
- Painters tape, 0.5” width.
- 1” x ⅛” Ceramic Disc Magnets
- Assorted acrylic craft paint of your choice.
- Optional: wood stain color of your choice.
- These hexagon pieces are raw, light wood, so if you would like the hexagons to be darker or have a more rustic feel, stain the hexagon pieces. Let the stain dry completely before moving onto the next step.
- Using a small piece of painter's tape, tape off the area you would like to paint. If you want the sharp, modern lines, we recommend taping corner-to-corner. Smooth any bubbles down in the tape so the paint does not go underneath.
- Using the acrylic craft paint, paint the hexagon pieces in various complementary colors. Let the hexagons dry completely.
- Take the hot glue gun, add a small, pea-sized amount of glue to your magnet. Press the magnet onto the back of the hexagon. Let it cool and dry completely.
- Stick the hexagon magnets on your fridge and voila! Your kitchen is instantly a modern style aficionado’s paradise!
