I plan on using the xyron machine to make my DIY magnets. Mom makes magnets from pics printed off the computer all the time using it... and if you get it on sale at AC Moore, with the coupon, its not too expensive (If you will use it in the future too)

Re: Has anyone DIY their STD's??
I did too...We went to Staples and I bought 1 box of 100 individual self adhesive Business card size magnets (2 x 3.5) - $22...and 1 box of Avery Glossy 'Clean Edge' business cards (they MUST be GLOSSY CLEAN EDGE to look professional)...also 2 x 3.5. The cards come 10 on a page and 200 in the box for like 20 something dollars. I basically just did a print screen of the design I liked and sized it with Microsoft Paint. I then pasted it into Microsoft Word and added the wording. You just select the template for the Avery labels you bought. My FH printed them out on his Color Laser Printer at work. They came out AWESOME...really Perfect. It really is easy. I saved so much money. My biggest worry was it would look homemade and I wanted it to look professional. I thought it would be hard to attach the card to the magnet and they would look crooked...but it was so EASY! So...anyway...I've rambled enough!!! LOL...HTH...FM me if you have any questions. Good Luck! You can do it!
I DIY'd mine too. They were very easy and I enjoyed getting creative making them.
I used regular size post cards and put the business size magnets on the back. I had a lot of information on them so I needed something bigger than the business card size.
I will take pictures later and post them on here.

I DIY'd mine. I designed them in PowerPoint and then saved as a JPG. Uploaded the JPG to VistaPrint and had them made as postcards. Pics in album.
