Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted September 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 1, 2008 You can get them from Tandy, of course, but also check out Michael's and Hobby Lobby. They have assorted sizes and shapes, even some rolled magnets- all found in the crafts or jewelry sections.

Contributing Member rdb Posted September 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 1, 2008 I've just received a shipment from amazingmagnets.com They are amazing. They are some sort of metal covered ceramic. In the extreme, (as I tend to push things. They can break. I threw one at a metal object from 10 ft away, but that's another story....lol But I think they will be perfect for all the projects. Quote Web page Facebook
Members Windy Posted September 1, 2008 Members Report Posted September 1, 2008 Perfect timing Josh I just got my order from K and J this week. Great little ceramic magnets although as stated afore they are brittle if you let them slap together hard. I broke about two the first day playing with them. I ordered the sample pack and the six different ones used for clasps on necklaces and bracelets. I got my order in two or three days. http://www.kjmagnetics.com/ WINDY Quote To all those who think ..........................
Members jbird Posted September 1, 2008 Author Members Report Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) thanks all for the help. I need thin magnets and I have never seen any at Tandy have any of you and am just up in the night.

Members Ladybug Posted September 1, 2008 Members Report Posted September 1, 2008 Try Walmart craft department for your magnets. They sell round in couple sizes and also couple widths by the roll. I bought a roll cause I had to make a couple neck sheaths for miniture knives. They are easy to work with and can be cut to fit with just a pair of shears. JoAnn Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted September 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted September 1, 2008 Hobby Lobby sells purse closure magnet sets. I think that's what you're looking for.

They are 1/32 inch thick. http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D401 WINDY Quote To all those who think ..........................
TZHunter Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 K J Magnetics has lots of variety. . . if you go to Ebay and search for "neodymium magnets" you will find tons of variety of different types. . . you can narrow your search to "neodymium disc magnets" and then you'll be able to find the thin ones the size you want. . .I use them on lots of small cases, etc sewn under a thin piece of leather.
