Fridge magnet made from a Matchbox toy car Why buy expensive and unoriginal fridge magnets when you can make them yourself? Especially when you can use something cool like a Matchbox toy car! Simple instructions:

  • Aquire magnets: Buy some from a hobby store or dissect an old harddrive.
  • Decide what to make into a magnet. — Buy something or rummage through old stuff for it.
  • Glue magnet to subject. Use something as a spacer or sandwich many magnets if necessary. Use a strong glue like epoxy and you'll only need to do it once.
  • Enjoy DIY-gratification factor.

Lets give credit where credit's due: Idea from Nelonen's Retro TV-program.
