DIY Map Magnet Supplies needed:

Mini picture frames (sold at Michael’s in the dollar section, 2 for $1.50 or sometimes at the Dollar Tree)

Old map or map scrapbook paper

hot glue, glue gun

For our magnet strip we just used an old advertising magnet we had on hand. We simply cut it into a shape that would fit the frame, but you can also purchase a roll of magnet tape.
