Another OP said that she got hers from the arts and crafts section of a walmart. I live in NYC and we dont have walmart. I checked all the drugstores and staples and they don't have what I need.

Any where else they may have magnets that work in palettes?

Yea a craft store would work.

Or just take a regular refrigerator magnet, cut it up, and glue it to your pans. You know those square flat magnets that businesses often give away.

Nope...they are building a Michael's near me but it's no where near done. The only other Michael's is waaaay out in Queens.

I agree with ^^pretty, buy a some regular "thin" magnets, cut then glue them to the underside of the pan.:yep:

You don't have any magnets on your fridge or around the house from the dentist or a insurance company, something like that? You could cut those and hot glue them.

Check the stationary section of the drug store or an Office Depot/Max or Staples. They have those business card kits that people use to turn their cards into magnets. Just buy the magnet part and cut them up. If you want to get fancy, find a place that sells scrapbooking stuff and get a 3/4" or so hole punch. It makes it look really neat and professional looking.

The few shadows that I've depotted, I got the magnets off of the back of dollar store refrigerator magnets. Just take the magnet off and cut them into smaller pieces. There will be glue left on the bottom of the shadow so you can just stick the magnet to it.
