d3c3pti0n5 1 Posted August 21, 2008 Here's my go at a door magnet set I made for my mother-in-law....As much as I wanted to, I didn't charge her. J/K Thanks Banner John, the corner rounder from walmart worked great. $3.88, you can beat that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RegisG 0 Posted August 21, 2008 B U T, don't sell magnet to someone with Saturn. Just got a rear window decal order from a lady that bought 2 magnetic signs (from another signmaker). They don't stick to plastic or aluminum doors! I make them too and "wish" I could get 75 bucks....not a chance in my market. ( 2 yesterday and 2 today).

ralais 0 Posted August 21, 2008 Your magnets look great. I want to make one for myself soon... B U T, don't sell magnet to someone with Saturn. Just got a rear window decal order from a lady that bought 2 magnetic signs (from another signmaker). They don't stick to plastic or aluminum doors! I make them too and "wish" I could get 75 bucks....not a chance in my market. ( 2 yesterday and 2 today). I use to have a Saturn LS 300. As I was driving one day, a young punk didn't stop at a stop sign & drove head first into my drivers side. After he backed up, my door just POPPED back out & no damage had been done to MY car! But yes, my car couldn't hold a magnet. I guess it's a good payoff though. Safety or Magnets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gm2k8 3 Posted August 22, 2008 i also looked at my wally world.. they compacted the craft-sewing sections now bummer.. no more sewing fabric.. walmart is plain stupid.. we live in a rural area and almost 99% of them shopped for fabric at walmart.. now most of the quilt makers are having to drive over an hours just to get material from another super wally.. i will have to checkout that corner cutter..

d3c3pti0n5 1 Posted August 22, 2008 I'm using Gloss 24" WIDE 30 MIL that I bought from a local shop by the role 24"x25'. John, I'm glad I bought the roll cause Hobby Lobby sell the 1'x2' sheets for $9.99 and it looks like I'll be making more cheer and football magnets this weekend. What kind of magnet material do you use for these? and where can I get some? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuttter 1 Posted August 23, 2008 I've looked all over the craft section at our walmart, and can't find the corner rounder, could someone post a picture of theirs, Please? scrapbooking section,not crafts. the one I got looks like the green one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Punches-corner-rounder-decorative-corner-punches_W0QQitemZ250284029025QQihZ015QQcategoryZ11793QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem That's what I use, Seems to be small. but not one customer has complained. I saw some the other day a guy had on his tow truck, It had a Metallic silver back with black letters, he said he paid 65.00 each, and the person didn't even round the corners for him. I pulled him over on the road and told him he would lose them if the corners weren't rounded. Hell, he even tried to give me 10.00. I told him no, just take my card and if you ever need something else done let me know. He was surprised that I didn't take the money. He also sent a guy for magnetics 2 weeks later. 50.00 for the pair. Then the guy that I originally stopped, called me and said, "Man I got ripped off at 65.00 each." That was that.
