DIY wood alphabet letter magnets

I have a quick and easy project for you!

I picked up these wood letters at Michaels in the bins near the register. I thought it might be kind of fun to have some alphabet letter magnets for the fridge like we used to when the kids were little. While I am  a little afraid now of what they might spell out… I am wiling to take the risk.

I just bought some roll magnet with a sticky back, and cut them to fit on the back of the letters.

It was super easy. I  laid out the letters and then flipped them over so they were going the right way. I knew if I didn’t do it I would probably stick them on the wrong side.

On longer letters I used longer magnet strips cut to size.

I think they are fun and modern looking. I think you could use them for a ton of embellishing on projects too. I grabbed two boxes because I knew I might want them for other projects. That’s how I end up with extra craft supplies I never use.

So far most of the magnets  have stayed on (most of) the the backs. I probably wouldn’t use these for little kids because the magnets could be a choking hazard, but you might have to use hot glue if the sticky part on the magnet isn’t strong enough.

I have a few other project ideas for these too.

It’s been a long summer so far, did you see the last item on my “list”? I even put a smiley face next to it.
