I made my own magnets to save $$... and I sure did!!
I ordered a roll of magnet with adhesive from a manufacturing co. and cut it out into strips, then to 4"x3" squares...!
I had already designed my layout using Photoshop and got them printed on photo paper at a photo lab... I put 2-4x3s on a standard 4x6 size... (you can print them out at Costco or wherever you get your digital prints at)... you just then have to cut them in half to get your 4x3 photos to match the magnet.!
Then, I peeled out the adhesive from my magnet squares and just pasted the photo! No mess at all since the magnet already had adhesive!!
Idea: You can also get your photos laminated before you paste them to the magnet... it protects the photo from water when ppl clean their refrigerator!! !
Anyway, total cost for 50 magnets was less than $20!!! How cool is that!!! Forget MagnetStreet!!! They would have charged more than $100 guaranteed!!
Warning: You may end up with a lot of leftover magnet if you buy a roll... I believe the vendor that I used also sell pre-cut magnets or they cut it to any size
