I'm sure this has been posted a thousand times, but I'm new on here, so....
Anyone have a really simple way of making STD magnets? I get the general gist of it, but need specifics that are simple to follow. TIA!

Re: DIY Magnet STDs
depends on what you think is easy.
you can buy the pre-cut magnets that are 'business card' size. you would then print what you want, cut, and then glue them on... martha stewart has a how-to for this.
i did something a little different. i got 'magnetic paper' at staples. this way, i was able to make them the size i liked. i just had to use a rotary cutter. note: if you don't want to buy a rotary cutter, staples let you use theirs, so does kinkos.
fm me if you need more info

Re: DIY Magnet STDs
I am using postcard size card stock and putting the business card size magnets on the back. The card is obviously going to be a little bigger but it's a heavy card stock so I am not really worried about it.

Very nice! Do you print them on photo paper and cut them to fit the magnets, or do you print them on glossy business card paper?

i would think that glossy business card paper would be better... photo paper doesn't hold up well to fingerprints. remember, people will be putting them on their refrigerators, and showing them off. you want to eliminate fingerprints.
