Awhile back, I saw some fabulous gold fridge-magnet-esque letters on Pinterest (turns out, they are jewelry, but still). That same afternoon, I ordered a package of alphabet magnets. After making them copper with metallic copper spray paint, I am absolutely smitten.

In fact, I smile each time I walk past my fridge and see them in their shiny magnet jumbles.

I just ordered some more alphabet magnets to turn into metallic Christmas presents (plus, I want to make a set of gold alphabet magnets for myself) and thought I’d pass along the gift idea.

Even better- these are so very easy to make. Just lay out your alphabet magnets, spray lightly with metallic spray paint and repeat every 10 minutes or so from varying angles until all of the crevices and letter cut-outs are covered (remember, light coats are key).

Let dry for at least 24 hours and your metallic alphabet is done!
