Magnets are everywhere, in our homes, offices or in the fridge. We may not even realize that magnetic materials exist beyond their immediate uses. With products like magnetic curtains and magnetic boards, magnets can be used for creative purposes too.

Here are 10 things you can create with magnetic materials today!

1. Magnetic Curtain

Turn your shower curtain into a magnetic board with small metal plates attached to it using tape or glue! You can use handmade pins made from paperclips and drawing pins to pin up important reminders on it.

2. Magnetic Toys

You can create magnetic toys at home by simply painting plastic toy animals or other small toys with a coat of acrylic paint mixed with iron filings, then sticking a strong magnet inside them so they can be stuck onto magnetic surfaces.

3. Magnetic Lipstick Holder

It’s an age-old trick – you can create magnetic containers to hold your makeup utensils in place in front of the mirror by making a small cut in the magnetic surface, sticking on some metal sheeting, then simply attaching your container or pencil holder with magnets! You can also use this idea for magnetic spice racks if you have an empty one lying around!

4. A magnetic pen stand

You can make magnetic pen stands at home using strong adhesive tape to attach two fridge magnets onto each end of a metal ruler (or similar object), and simply stick it onto the side of the fridge where it will stay put while creating hanging storage space simultaneously! This is a perfect idea for magnetic memo holders as well!

5. Magnetic Mail Holder

Make magnetic mail holders at home by simply painting a small magnetic surface and covering it with contact paper, then gluing magnetic strips on top of the contact paper to create a pocket where you can keep your letters or notes safe. You can also use this idea for magnetic spice racks if you have an empty one lying around!

6. A magnetic wall clock

You can make magnetic clocks at home using strong adhesive tape to attach two fridge magnets onto each side of a metal ruler (or similar object), and sticking it onto the wall where it will stay put while creating hanging storage space simultaneously! This is a perfect idea for magnetic memo holders as well!

7. Magnetic Greeting Cards

Make magnetic greeting cards at home by simply painting cardboard magnetic sheets with magnetic paint, then covering it with contact paper, and sticking on some magnets onto the backs of pictures or art before gluing them to the front! You can also use this idea for magnetic spice racks if you have an empty one lying around!

8. A magnetic mirror frame

You can make magnetic mirror frames at home using strong adhesive tape to attach two fridge magnets onto each side of a picture frame (or similar object), and sticking it onto the wall where it will stay put while creating hanging storage space simultaneously! This is a perfect idea for magnetic memo holders as well!

9. Magnetic Sculpture

Interesting sculptures out of twisted wire and magnetic fields. The sculptures themselves are magnetic and will interact with magnetic fields in a novel way. They can be attached to magnetic surfaces or even the fridge!

10. Magnetic wall pockets

You can make magnetic pockets at home by simply painting a small magnetic surface and covering it with contact paper, then gluing magnetic strips on top of the contact paper to create a pocket where you can keep your letters or notes safe. You can also use this idea for magnetic spice racks if you have an empty one lying around!

Conclusion:

Use magnets for creative purposes by pinning up reminders on a magnetic shower curtain, making magnetic toys and paint containers or pencil holders, creating magnetic mail holders and memo holders, making clock and wall pockets, magnetic greeting cards, magnetic mirror frames and picture/art frames, magnetic sculpture and twisted wire magnetic sculptures!
