Magnetic Multi Panel Mural

Step 5 Estimating Materials

I didn't give any quantities before because it depends on what you want to do. The number and size of your individual panels will determine how much hardware you'll need.

1) Masonite: Figure out the square footage your image will cover, then go to the store and figure out how much of each sheet of Masonite you can use. For me, it was 12 square foot.

2) Magnets: You'll need at least 2 magnets per panel, I used 3, but if I had been able to find flat head thumbtacks I could probably have just used 2. The larger each panel, the more magnet strength you'll need.

3) Washers: You'll need 1 for each magnet.

4) Thumbtacks: 1 for each magnet.
