Key Takeaways

• Most fridges have non-magnetic doors due to the high nickel content in the stainless steel used.
• Reusable putty or adhesive can make magnets stick to the fridge door.
• Magnetic message boards can be mounted using suction cups or strong tape to create a magnetic surface.
• Alternatively, a DIY magnetic board can be created by cutting a galvanised steel sheet to fit a frame.

Gather necessary supplies

You’ll need to gather some supplies to hang pictures on your non-magnetic fridge. Some of the supplies you may need include reusable putty, a frame, strong adhesive hooks, and double-sided tape.

With these tools, you can turn your fridge into a magnetic surface that you can decorate with photos, notes, and reminders.

Start by using the putty to attach magnets to the fridge door. This will provide a magnetic surface for you to hang your pictures.

If you want to hang a frame on a fridge, use suction cups or double-sided tape to secure it. This will allow you to display a picture in a frame without damaging the fridge’s surface.

You can also attach hooks to the fridge with double-sided tape or adhesive hooks for a more creative look. This will allow you to hang pictures or other decorative items on the fridge.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a stylish, magnetic fridge full of personality and character that you can enjoy for years.

Choose lightweight frames

Choose lightweight frames for your pictures to ensure they stay put on the non-magnetic fridge. To make sure your photos stay on, consider frames that are less than a pound. Look for frames of lightweight materials such as plastic or wood that will only add a little weight to the stainless steel refrigerator door.

Consider adhesive hooks that make it easy to hang frames without causing damage to the refrigerator door. Command products offer a variety of hooks that can hold up to two pounds, making them ideal for lightweight frames. Double-sided tape is a great alternative if you’d rather not use hooks. Make sure you use a tape designed for stainless steel to avoid residue.

With these alternatives, you can confidently hang your favourite photos on your non-magnetic fridge.

Measure fridge dimensions

Before purchasing magnetic frames or boards, measure the dimensions of your fridge to ensure they fit. You must do so to save time and money on a product that will fit.

Stainless steel fridges are often non-magnetic due to their construction, so magnets or suction cups won’t work on their doors. But don’t despair – you can still make your fridge magnetic! You can make a magnetic board that fits perfectly in your fridge using galvanised sheet metal.

All you need to do is measure the fridge doors, cut the sheet metal accordingly, and mount it with strong adhesive hooks or suction cups. You can also use adhesive putty to attach magnets to the board for a more custom look, and you can hang pictures, notes, and other lightweight items on the fridge.

You can make your stainless steel fridge magnetic and aesthetically pleasing with the right materials and creativity.

Mark desired picture placements

Once you’ve chosen the perfect pictures for your fridge, mark the desired placements using a pencil or ballpoint pen.

You’ll need to create a magnetic surface to ensure your paper pictures stay put. Consider these innovative ideas:

1. Invest in a magnetic message board and mount it with suction cups or double-sided tape to the nickel-content stainless steel fridge.
2. Add magnet strips to the back of the paper picture and attach it to the fridge.
3. Purchase a primer specially designed for stainless steel fridges and paint it on the paper picture area.

These creative solutions will add a bit of personalised flair to your space and allow you to easily attach messages and pictures without the hassle of tape or glue.

Embrace the power of innovation and make your stainless steel fridge magnetic.

Use adhesive hooks or strips

Adhesive hooks or strips can easily attach messages and decorations to your stainless steel fridge. Perfect for those seeking an innovative way to make their stainless steel fridge their own, adhesive hooks and strips are easy to install and reusable.

They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making it easy to choose the right option for your needs. For lightweight items, double-sided tape is a great option. It can be easily applied to stainless steel and removed when needed. For heavier items, reusable putty or command products are best. These products can be easily applied and removed without leaving a residue.

Hang pictures evenly

You can use adhesive hooks or strips to hang your pictures on your stainless steel fridge. Here are a few tips to get the job done right:

1. Measure the area you want to cover and mark it with a pencil or marker.
2. Use steel materials like magnetic boards or tape to secure your pictures.
3. Paint the area around the pictures with a magnetic primer for a seamless look.

For those looking for a more creative approach, other options exist. Try mounting a magnetic board with suction cups or strong double-sided tape. This will provide a larger area to hang your pictures, and you can customise the look of the board with sanding, staining, or painting. Another idea is to mount a cookie sheet to the fridge and use magnets or magnetic strips for a unique look. Alternatively, you can use double-sided tape or Prestik to attach wooden clothes pegs to the fridge and hang your pictures on them. With a little creativity, you can create an eye-catching and unique display.

Check for secure attachments

Once you’ve all of your pictures and decorations hung up on your non-magnetic fridge, it’s time to check for a secure attachment. If you use magnetic paint, metal hooks, Command products, adhesive products, or double-sided tape to hang up your items, ensure they hold on securely.

You don’t want them to come crashing down, so give them a gentle tug to ensure they’re firmly attached. You can reinforce the hold with additional materials or products if they need more support. You can also layer different products, such as using adhesive products to stick down a metal hook for a stronger attachment.

Remember that these products require specific instructions, so read the directions carefully before applying them. By using appropriate materials and safety measures, you can securely attach your photos and decorations to a non-magnetic refrigerator.

Avoid heavy items

When decorating your fridge, there are a few things to remember to ensure that your items stay securely attached. Heavy items should be avoided as they may not stay attached properly. Instead, opt for using magnetic strips, hardware, or removable hooks. These options provide a stronger and more secure attachment than using a piece of tape or putty.

For lighter items, such as photos, a small piece of tape or putty can do the trick. However, magnetic strips or removable hooks are a better choice if you want to create a more creative look. They provide a stronger attachment and give you more flexibility in arranging your items.

Magnetic strips can hang heavier items such as pocket charts, artwork, or a whiteboard. They have a stronger hold and can securely attach these heavier items to your fridge. Removable hooks are another great option, as they allow you to easily attach and remove items as needed without leaving any residue.

With the right hardware, you can easily and securely attach photos, notes, cards, and other lightweight items to your fridge. Whether you choose magnetic strips, removable hooks, or a combination, you can create a personalised and organised look for your fridge.

Regularly adjust for alignment

Regularly check that your items are aligned on the fridge door for a neat look.

Keeping your kitchen organised can be easy, even regarding non-magnetic fridges. Magnetic boards, putties, and other creative solutions can help you align papers and other items on the fridge door.

You can use double-sided tape specifically designed for stainless steel and available at most hardware stores for a piece of paper. For heavier items, you can attach magnets or magnetic strips to the back of the item or the fridge door.

To ensure that your items remain in place, regularly adjust them to ensure everything is properly aligned.

With the right tools and creativity, you can easily and quickly keep your kitchen looking its best with a neat appearance.

Conclusion

So there you’ve it: a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to make your non-magnetic fridge your own.

Now, you can easily hang pictures, notes, and other items. Just remember to be careful with the weight of the items and to adjust the items regularly.

Then sit back, relax, and enjoy your personalised fridge – it’s never been easier!
