A few tips to create your own magnetic board / metal wall art panel
#1 We all have so many photos these days it's a shame that some of our favourite moments get archived and hardly ever seen. You can choose to make your treasured memories into a beautiful magnetic wall art panel that will be enjoyed every day.
Our customers are very imaginative and we have made magnetic boards with all kinds of subject matter. Popular themes are pets, favourite holiday destinations, sports, wedding photos, graduation shots, children's paintings and we've even made a board with a photo of a stylish handbag.
#2 Choose an image from a photo library. There are lots of options when it comes to choosing fabulous photography.
There are brilliant photo libraries with a huge choice of free imagery such as Pixabay or Unsplash Make sure you choose the highest resolution image. See our Create your Own page for more information about choosing the right size image to upload. Or contact us if you need help.
#3 Think outside the board! Consider some creative ways to create a magnetic wall art panel that makes it uniquely yours or sums up the personality or interests of someone special. You could use objects to make a personalised flat lay i.e create a lovely image with coloured threads and buttons for someone that loves to sew, or kitchen utensils for a keen cook. The possibilities are endless.
Remember that all our magnetic boards have a dry erase surface too so leave a space or include a notebook or paper in your photo to write on.
Maybe make a collage or paper boat and include a name to personalise it or write a message on a sandy beach and take a photograph.
#4 Use the written word to create a meaningful gift for a loved one. This could be a poem, a quote from a film or book or song lyrics. Perhaps it's just something you find inspirational or makes you smile.
