Magnetic self adhesive rolls/tape or sheets? Long shot.....

Hello, we make lots n lots of homemade magnets (felt houses, stickers, numbers, letters, words etc. etc.) for our large magnetic whiteboard, but the expense of buying the magnetic materials is hurting me (physically and mentally ;-)).

I've purchased (mainly through eBay) magnet printer paper, magnetic tapes on rolls with self adhesive backings and anything else I can find so far....

Does anyone please know of a 'cheap' supplier? I was buying 50mm width (2 inch) self adhesive magnetic tape through one person, but each time I bought 10 meters, she put it up by £1 and when I contacted her to purchase 30 meters, she put the price up even higher (I thought if you had a regular/good buyer, you were supposed to encourage them?!?!). I've tried googling for the wider tape and had no joy, but I'm miffed if I have to keep purchasing from a 'mean' seller!!!

Oh no, I've waffled on again... sorry!

In essence, does anyone know where I can purchase cheap magnetic rolls or tape or sheets for crafting purposes?

Many thanks in advance.

    That is exceptionally kind of you to do a search for me ;-) Thank you sooo much!

    I have actually purchased the magnetic printer paper recently (I don't know if I can find anything 'crafty' with magnets that I haven't tried!), it is fairly good, but as it is designed for printer use, it is painfully thin and too hard for the children to pick off the white board and move around.

    I would (almost!) kill to know where my ex-supplier gets her 50mm wide self adhesive magnetic tape from @ under £10 per 10 meters. I'd even consider tearing my own limb off if I could find large sheets of magnetic material that the car signage people use cheaply (the only type I've found is about 2ft by 10 metres and costs over £70).

    Thank you again and I'll let you know should I choose a limb to remove!! ;-)
