Bit of an Odd Question but Need Ideas Please

ThinkingOutLoud · ‎05-01-2020

I have a glob of various magnets but would prefer to group them by color, size, etc. Any suggestions of how to do it so they don't all 'stick' to each other again? There's a spot for them in a desk/drawer organizer and an easy to grab/put back solution would be great! TIA

@ThinkingOutLoud Maybe put them on a magnetic old cookie sheet and put them away to store, stick them to your hot water heater, or anything that is metal.

You could always just lay them on sheets of cardboard (in layers) and store in a box? Or a shoebox with pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap in between each layer of magnets?

They sell magnetic tape and other types of magnetic strips. You could put that in the drawer, and your magnets would stick to that instead of each other.

Since you already have the organizer, could you do vertical with cardboard between each?

They also have lots of tool or craft boxes to choose from.

Good luck!

@ThinkingOutLoud

What do you use them for? How often do you use them?

I was wondering the same thing. I can't remember the last time I used a magnet.

I would buy an inexpensive cookie or baking sheet that will fit your drawer and place them on it. They won't slide around when you open and close the drawer.
