Creating your own fridge magnets can be a great, fun home project. Why not treat your friends or family to a hand-made fridge magnet? Rosemary Smith from Manning Tree kindly sent us an email explaining her take on the traditional homemade fridge magnets.
Rosemary’s magnets are created from ceramic and are then carefully painted when dried. When finished her fridge pieces are substantially heavier than cheaper, thin fridge magnets. These fridge pieces are approximately 60mm x 50mm and are 4mm thick with each magnet weighing approximately 35 – 40 grams.
To ensure these fridge pieces stay firmly fixed to any magnetic surface, Rosemary used our part F350NA (15mm x 15mm x 1mm thick N42 Neodymium magnet, with adhesive), Neodymium Magnets are much stronger than Ferrite Magnets, which are traditionally found on fridge magnets worldwide.
If you would like to make your own ceramic fridge magnets, like the ones showcased here we would like to recommend our range of Adhesive Magnets.
