My husband is collecting beer bottle caps and want to display them somewhere...


I tried buying magnets from ebay (it was a powerseller) but they are no use, they don't stick to the fridge (they fell when I move the fridge door)

Any ideea where to buy some ggod magnets?

What about using blu-tack??? Not sure if that would work, but an alternative maybe

You could buy magnetic sheets (get them in different thicknesses) and just cut what size you need? Some here:

Also, here is a few tips on how to do it (although you probably already know but having a 'be helpful' day!)

I have an idea of how to do it... but I just got some no good magnets, sendim them back will take time and money so i just took it as my loss...

I just hope that someone will recomend some magnets that they have used for crafts and that are good

Blu tack it will cost a fortune (he has about 200 caps till now ... but he is just at the begining) and will look ugly

If you are good with your hands you can make up a small electro-magnet - this gives you an idea of how http://education.jlab.org/qa/electromagnet.html. You can use this to strengthen the magnets, you can infact magnetize anything ferrous with this too, just run the said items along the coil. Be careful though, and if you don't know what you are doing get someone that does to help you.

I have used some Neodymium Magnets before and they are incredibly strong.
(if you let 2 get together you need to use a knife to seperate them again!!)

There are some for sale here. Clicky

10 mm ones are 4p each.
