There’s something magical about seeing everyday jewelry turn into wall art.
Each brooch and pendant becomes a star in its own constellation, glittering against the dark surface of the fridge.
The cross that belonged to your grandmother, the butterfly brooch from a flea market, the quirky sun pendant, all now woven into a living mosaic you pass by every day.
Moreover, it’s not just a display; it’s a celebration of memory and sparkle in the heart of your home.
Materials Needed
- Collection of brooches, pendants, or small jewelry pieces
- Small, strong craft magnets (flat neodymium ones work best)
- Super glue or jewelry adhesive
- Cleaning cloth
- Optional: magnetic board if you don’t want to use your fridge
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Gather your jewelry collection. Brooches and pins often already have flat backs, making them perfect for attaching magnets.
For pendants or earrings, choose pairs that you’d like to turn into decorative accents.
Step 2: Clean each piece gently with a soft cloth. Dust or residue can weaken the adhesive, so make sure the backs are smooth and ready.
Step 3: Attach a small magnet to the back of each item using a dab of strong glue.
Then press firmly for a few seconds and let them dry fully, usually overnight for the strongest hold.
Step 4: While the magnets are setting, wipe down your fridge or magnetic surface with a damp cloth to give yourself a clean canvas.
Step 5: Start arranging your collection. Try grouping by color, shape, or theme, for example, floral brooches together, gemstone pieces in a cluster, or crosses lined up like a series.
Now you can step back often to see how the arrangement feels from a distance.
Step 6: Keep layering until your fridge transforms into a jewelry gallery.
The best part is that you can rearrange whenever you like, seasonally, by mood, or just for fun.
Step 7: When you want to wear a piece, just pluck it off the surface. No digging through boxes, no tangled chains.
Tips:
If you’re hesitant to glue magnets directly onto antique or sentimental pieces, use small magnet clips to hold them in place instead.
That way, you can keep your jewelry intact while still enjoying the display.
