How to make DIY Fridge Magnets | Cute Pastel Rat Magnets

Although I love all animals (especially my dog and cat!) rats are creatures that are often left out of the narrative when people think of cute and cuddly. However, rats are incredibly intelligent, playful, and affectionate, and I wanted to create a little something to honor them and all their crazy antics! So, I decided to make some fridge magnets which represent my three rats, Tofu, Mr. Tickles, and Caldwell. This was a very easy project and great for practicing acrylic painting techniques which results in a functional end-product. If you don't have rats (or simply don't want to paint them) this technique can be used for any kind of painting you'd like!
