Cruise Magnet graphics and links

Instead of magnetic paper and adding magnets, just print on regular paper and then laminate (if you want it stiffer). Then use magnetic tape and put a 1" piece on each corner. It worked great for us and was so much less expensive than magnetic paper.

Another suggestion: buy the magnetic photo sleeves (they come in all sizes up to 8 x 10) and print your images on photo paper. Then you can switch the images around in the sleeves as you mood, or the theme of the day, dictates! This way you can print all of you fab ideas and get to use them without runnig out of door space!

And put your door # on the front of the magnet; that will make it less likely to be stolen. No one will be able to display it on another door without it being obvious!

This is exactly what we are doing this year!! I used magnet paper a few years ago and it did kind of roll up. We have the paper/ink, and the magnetic tape and the laminating stuff already so no extra cost!!

We are doing this as well! From reading all the posts about missing magnets, I am making sure that we have our room #'s on all our magnets!! I also read about putting a sticker on the back saying "this magnet is stolen from room 1234).

Ok,, guess I have never used magnetic tape. Do you get it at places
like AC Moore. What about the laminating paper. Same place? Is it just plastic paper that is sticky on the back?

Thanks for any help,

Peg

I would suggest getting the business card magnets you can find at office supply stores. You can trim into strips and then easily peel away the adhesive side to go in the corners. You can also purchase the self laminating "envelopes" here as well. Place the piece to be laminatede inside..close the self sealing adhesive laminate and presto! Laminated printout that you can then trim if you desire and attach the magnetic stips too
