Magnets?

Post by **Lord Libidan** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 7:21 am

I've made a few magnets over the years, but I've never really had any luck with the magnets I've used... I've tried strip magnets, but they're way too weak, I was just wondering if anyone had used any good magnets, and where I could get some?
Thanks

Neodymium magnets are super strong and you can get them from ebay, amazon and i'm guessing a lot of the larger craft stores

How big/heavy are the projects you are magnetifying? I have been using just plain strip magnets from craft shop for cross stitches (~25x30 count) with cardboard to stiffen them, they seem to hold ok. I use craft glue as well as the backing sticky.

I went with techno-ninja's suggestion in the end. Neodymium did the trick perfectly.

Can't beat a bit of neodymium. My brother has loads of the things, uses them for all kinds of stuff. Some of them are so strong they've pinched fingers lol. (go rare earth!)

Anyways, might try them for craft purposes myself after reading this thread
