    Im attaching STD magnets onto cardstock.. I had originally thought of using clear photocorners, but Im in the middle of the northern nowhere, and have no access to these... I could order them online, but we`re leaving in 2 weeks for the summer...

    SO, I`m willing to try out any alternatives! ideas please!!!!!

    I made cards for my STDs and put one glue dot on the back of the magnet and then attached it to the card. The reveiws I have gotten from them are awesome. They stayed in place and were easy to remove from the card and the glue dot was easy to separate from the magnet and left no residue. You should be able to get them at your local craft store.

    I used a glue stick that was semi-permanent when dry and permanent when wet.  Rubber cement would work well...I've been using it for almost everything.  Glue dots are also useful.

    You could cut slits in the cards at angles and slip the corners of the magent into them.

    We did something similar and just used hot glue.  It didn't stick very well to the magnet so it stayed on until you pulled it then it came clean off.  hth

    I tried glue dots and it ruined the card and the magnet when I experiementally tried to pry them apart. you could make photo corners out of paper...glue the edges down and slip the photo in once they're dry.

    We used glue dots from Walmart and they worked great!

    My STDs had the corners cut like @dallastomanchester recommended.  It looked great and didn't leave any bumps or residue on the back of the magnet.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I've tried the glue dots and 2 way glue pen. Will check in a few hrs which works best. Thanks again!
