I am inundated with kids art, I just can’t keep it all…I know I shouldn’t be admitting that. So sometimes, I like to come up with a preserved kids art craft by repurposing it. I ALWAYS ask permission before cutting up artwork by asking if they would be willing to make a fun craft with me out of some of their art. More often that not, the kids take pride in this process as we make something new and beautiful out of something they have worked hard on. (Check out what we did with their Spin Art!).

Recycle your old jar lids with these preserved kids art magnet craft that your kids can help you with! They will looks great on your refrigerator!

To Make your Preserved Kids Art Magnets

What you need:

    • old jar lids
    • kids artwork
    • spray lacquer
    • spray paint
    • glue
    • magnet strips


What to do:

  1. Wash and dry old jar lids. Trace their circles on kids artwork.
  2. Cut out the artwork and set aside.
  3. Spray paint the lids with the color of your choice and let dry.
  4. Glue the artwork to the inside of the lid.
  5. Spray with lacquer to give it a finished look and keep the paint from peeling.
  6. Attach a magnetic strip to the back of the lid.

Recycle your old jar lids with these preserved kids art magnet craft that your kids can help you with! They will looks great on your refrigerator!

These really came out so cute, and I love the irony of them holding up other artwork that the kids have completed or their pictures on the fridge. This is why I need to repurpose some of it, there just isn’t enough space!

They would also be really cute with gold or chalkboard spray paint!
