You want to hang up a poster without much effort or damaging it?

Below we will show you a very modern, uncomplicated solution for a DIY poster strip.

Required materials for the magnetic poster rail

Materials needed

4 self-adhesive disc magnets Ø 18 mm (4 magnet pairs)
4 silicone discs, Ø 15 mm
4 wooden strips, ca. 2 cm wide
Poster (here 35 x 47,5 cm)
Cord (possibly leather)
Measuring tape
Pencil
Saw
Sand paper

Instructions

Step 1

Measure the poster; saw the 4 wooden strips to the width of the poster; then sand down the edges.

TIP: The length of the poster rails and the size and number of magnets depend on the size of the poster.

Step 2

Glue two self-adhesive magnets 18x1 mm with a distance of 5 cm from the edge on the right and left side of a rail; press on firmly.

Step 3

Place two counter magnets on the glued on magnets, remove protective foil from the adhesive and firmly press the second rail onto it. For the bottom poster rail, repeat steps 2 and 3.

Step 4

Cut the cord (leather band) to the size of the poster rail; make a knot on both ends.

Step 5

Glue the silicone discs onto the counter magnets as non-skid coating.
