I got some magnetic printing sheets at Office Depot and they worked great. They were expensive but worth it.

I used them last time and loved the quality. This time I was trying to go cheap and boy did I ever blow it! I will definitely use Office Depot from now on.

I have to say thank you to everyone about the magnetic door signs. We have cruised twice before and have never had any signs. Great idea! I think my DH has had more fun making the door signs for us and the other families travelling with us than I have. Thanks again. By the way, we could only find the magnetic sheets at Staples....and they were very expensive, but worth it!

i printed our door signs on good quality laser paper and used small pieces of the 'magnet strips that is sticky on one side that i found at Michaels (very inexpensive)....and it was easy to peel the magnet off when we got home and i then put the signs into our scrapbook....

I love these ideas! I can't wait to make my own. Do you get them laminated to protect them?

I do.

I print the signs out at home on photo paper then take them over to Office Depot to get laminated. It helps to protect them while packed away in the suitcase.

I also pack a roll off sticky backed magnetic tape cut in sections (instead of magnetic paper) to mount them on the door.

NEWS! Hopefully this will be a yours to, but I just got home from the Dollar Tree in our neighborhood and they have stickers that you can stick and remove from windows, metal etc. Anyway, I just bought two packs. They have Nemo characters (Nemo, Dory)and another one with Mickey and Goofy. They also had Tink and Princesses. I am going to stick these on our door and in the middle of the door put a sign that we create.

Check out your local Dollar Tree!

I hate to hear about the supplier, but if I remember right, office supply stores, Staples, Office Max, Office Depot, etc... have magnetic sheets.

I also got some at Home Depot/Lowes They are called

Deflecto magnetic vent cover and are 8X15. They are in the heating vent isle.

The magnetic paper is also at Wal-Mart in the school/business supplies aisle. Also, Wal-Mart carries both magnetic strips you can attach to the back of photo paper (craft section). You get about 7-8 magnetic strips for 77 cents. They also have magnetic strips in rolls. For my signs I downloaded pictures from the Internet. Found them using the images portion of Google and then inserted them into a Word doc. I also downloaded Disney Fonts from the internet.

I made these for our August 17, 2006 cruise on the Wonder. Sadly, the magnet of Captain Jack and Will was stolen on pirate night. It was personalized with our names. We went in the cabin to change to go to dinner and when we came back out, the magnet was gone.

I wish people would not do this. I love your magnets and I'm sorry you got one stolen. AT least that means that they were that beautiful, that someone JUST HAD to have it.

I saw that in Bed Bath and Beyond today and thought of your post. I didn't look at the price however sorry all.

I suppose my question is somewhat random, and specific but here goes!

I noticed that in some peoples lovely pictures of their door magnets, they had added Mickey ears to the circle on the door that says the room number. I thought it was very cute and wanted to try and do it my self. Here's my question: What should the proportions be for the ears. I don't want them to look too small for or big for the circle that says the room number.

If anyone knows, please share!

P.S. Sorry if my question is confusing. If you would like to rephrase, be my guest!

Where do I get a magnet? Or how do I make it? Is there a special store or website?

Depends on how much cost you want to put into it. If you buy the magnetic paper, that would be the most expensive. If you get the magnetic tape or magnetic dots that's the cheaper route. There is an updated magnetic paper seller or you can go to Office Depot or Staples and buy it retail.

Good luck
