DIY STD Magnets

Can anyone recommend any good websites or books to show me how to make my own STD magnets?

I made my own and printed them out on magnet paper. It was very simple I ordered magnet sheets from a websire www.cheapinvitations.com You could also buy the paper at Office Max, most will work with a basic inkjet printer.

Kgermano, wouldnt the magnet paper be too thick to run through a printer? I wanted to incorporate pictures of the two of us, Do you think this will come out ok?

I was thinking of doing them myself too after I saw someone post about the magnetic paper. How well does it stick to surfaces? Is it likely to keep sliding down the fridge or fall off? Does the ink set well on the paper or is it prone to smearing?

I made mine using business cards (from avery) and the magnets are sold separately. They come in business card size in a pack of 100 at staples. Printed out the STD (cards) and attached the magent (they are sticky on one side).
