What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[RRB]

Has anyone used the 3 M post it photo papers? I'm wondering how well they will work on the doors? It has the backing just like a post-it and it does not leave marks on the door (I tested at home). What do you think?

I made several door signs using 3M post it paper and used them in November when we cruised. The paper printed beautifully but when I removed the signs, it took some of the paint with it off the door. I noticed there were several doors like this and I figured other folks did the same thing. I read this thread from top to bottom before we sailed and did not see anyone report this.

I will use a different method next time.

Hi,

Any chance you might post this without the date, room number and the Eastern caribbean?


Thanks,

If you mean the sign with the Mickey and Goofy in the Mickey head. The sign is mine, but the actual Mickey design belongs to KristineN. I will happily post the sign with no words on it if Kristine gives me permission as it is not my artwork to give. You can also try and PM her directly.

Hope that helps you.

I am slowly going through the thread and muli-quoting a lot of you. Please kindly review the first post of this thread to see if one of your posts are there. If you DO NOT want your post posted, let me know and I will delete your post or make reference to it w/o mentioning your name. Once I'm done, I may PM those whose posts I've multi-quoted.

I love the multi-quote function. I'm trying to post the most popular answers to questions that get asked on this thread. I think posting font links etc would hog up too much space. (I just asked the tech board if there's a multi- post limit in one post).

Thanks to everyone for contributing and posting your magnetic door creations on this thread. I can't believe this thread is reaching its 2nd year anniversary

Ok, so the 3 m paper sounds like a bad idea. I better try to find the magnetic paper then.

I was so disappointed when that happened. I even wrote someone on this thread and asked how it worked before I went.

The quality of the print was awesome. I'm thinking that my door might have been re-painted.

I totally agree that the quality is great. My signs came out perfect. Maybe I'll buy some of those magnetic dots that I've heard about. I think you just stick it to the back and it will turn anything magnetic.

I have a roll of magnetic tape, that should work to hang from the door correct? The doors are metal??

Yes, they are medal doors.

That is exactly what I do. I buy the rold of magnetic tape from Michael's. I laminate my sign and put four small pieces of magnet on them.

I have never had a problem with the signs slipping or falling off. I have even peeled off the magnets and used them on the next days sign without a problem.

More than 8 months to go until cruise DD age 10 and Myself have started working on our door signs every evening for about 20 minutes.
It has put a real spark into our evenings after homework and chores are done!
I am trying to talk DS (14) into joining but so far that is a "nah thanks Mom"

After we are done the signs then we are moving on to designing our formal dresses and some other clothes that i am making for the cruise.

Here are the two pirate night signs I made for our door. The Captain Feathersword is for our DD.
