What's it made from ? Paper ?

I made mine from A4 printer paper but when i tried to paint over it it wrinkled up and paint leaked underneath. Something adhesive backed is a better job. I ended up making it out of masking tape , which was a nightmare.

Looks very smart but when you say magnetic paper? Is this a wind up or am I thick? On the days I went to school (not often admittedly) i seem to recall aluminium is not magnetic?

I'm assuming it is as it looks like its stuck to a fridge. Wouldn't work on fog covers either as they are plastic/fibreglass.

if it was central it would look okay but I think as it is too near the bottom etc .... but at the end of the day if the person enjoys it go with it
