Supplies for DIY Fridge Pocket:
We started by gathering all our supplies. To prepare for the cut, we clamped the baking pan onto a piece of insulating foam. This protects the cutting surface from damage.
Using a speed square, Steph marked a cutting line. You can make your pocket as tall or short as you want. BEFORE starting to cut, be sure to put on tight fitting safety glasses, ear protection, and a mask. It's also a good idea to protect your arms with long sleeves. Metal shavings fly everywhere when you cut metal.
We are using the Diablo 7-1/4 in. x 48-Teeth Steel Demon Ferrous Metal Cutting Saw Blade in our Ryobi circular saw. It makes a nice clean cut.
Make sure the pocket is free of dust and dirt before painting. I used a primer first, and after that dried, I used the blue spray paint. A couple of coats did the trick.
Lastly, I used a fast setting glue to attach the rare earth magnets.
The little upcycle pocket is now ready to keep all those coupons, takeout menus, recipes and more all nice and tidy!

I really enjoy watching your videos and getting your emails. If I get behind, please bear with me. My dad, who will be 90 on Wednesday, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. I'll catch up eventually. Great job Vicki and Steph.

Hi Robin- thanks so much! He is doing great, the porch incident was a while ago and he didn't get badly hurt.

Hi Deborah- if magnets don't stick then the rare earth magnets will not stick either.

Magnets of any kind will only stick to ferrous metals . If your fridge is aluminum or real stainless steel, ( most aren't ) a magnet won't stick.
