How to Make Magnetic Clips for Stainless Steel Refrigerators

Stainless steel refrigerators add a modern, stylish look to a kitchen. Because most stainless steel appliances are not magnetic, due to alloys contained in the material, you won’t be able to decorate the front with fun, colorful magnet. However, if the sides of your refrigerator are magnetic, you can utilize them in a traditional way. Make customized magnetic clips where you can hang memos, photos or artwork.
