Magnetic Multi Panel Mural

Step 6 Panels

Cut your Masonite into the size you want, or have someone at the hardware store cut it for you, and sand the edges a bit so they're fairly smooth.

Once you have them all done, wipe them down to get the dust off, and prepare to glue.
To help ensure that my prints went on straight, I made a little guide.

Just a piece of cardboard taped to a larger piece of plexiglass at right angles.

Spray a light, even coat of adhesive onto the smooth side of a panel, then place it against the corner of the guide. Then just slide a print against the left edge of the guide, and it should go on perfect every time. Make sure there are no bubbles of air, then let them dry.

Once the glue is dry, flip them over and glue a washer to at least the top 2 corners, at least 1 washer per magnet. For mine, I glued a washer to the top 2 corners, and 1 to the middle of the bottom edge, and I found it helpful to mark each one so I knew which way was up. Try to get all your washers in the same spot to ensure uniformity in hanging.

Try using thick magnetic vinyl. Then they'll be flexible. Metal boards can be purchased at IKEA or a variety of stores very cheap, or just find a metal door or metal surface and up they go!
