Who knew that amazing magnetic dish would be so useful! Great for organizing all the things! PLUS Add some paint to make them any fun color! You can seriously find a place to put these magnetic bowls anywhere and everywhere.
My dad showed up with a bunch of magnetic dish /bowls.
and asked if I had a use for one.
andI said yes, and took one. (mainly because I’m a hoarder of all things)
and went home.
and realized I needed about 30 more.
(found these at harbor freight but you can get some HERE)
all they needed was a little shot of primer and then spray paint…
and then I put one in about each room of my house.
Magnetic dish uses:
#1 This one is my favorite. right by my makeup. I lose these stupid things everywhere. love that they have a special place (have you used these twisty bobby pins? amazing. two can hold all my hair…and I have cousin it amount of hair)
#2 I put one in my office desk drawer. perfect for all those push pins and paper clips!
This would be cute if you have a wall to put all your kids stuff on. like a homework station
(did you know they sell magnetic paint? they do. it’s a primer too so you can paint over it and never know it’s there until you want to use it. just an FYI!)
#3 one by the sewing machine…to hold all your straight pins
(which happens to be right by the file cabinet…which is metal.)
#4 you could use one for rings or earrings…or any jewelry (some stick some don’t–try it out beforehand)
#5 I have one for all those stray nails…screws…bolts…nuts…Kind of nice to keep them from rattling around in a drawer!
so…what would you use your magnetic dish for?

This is GENIUS! I am definitely going to get some of these for my sewing desk (which is metal!) and my junk drawer AND my vanity!
Andrea says
I’m making one to go on top of the washing machine I find such randon items in my sons pockets and most are magnetic!

Amber says

Harbor Freight…little known store of awesomeness! Storage, magnetic dishes, handled suction devices (super cheap-o alternative to quilting ruler suction handles)… Also where I inexpensively aquired my husband’s stocking stuffers for last Christmas. I love that stinkin store!! And the coupons! They always have a super-supply of coupons & sales. ::swoon::
Kim says
oh my, how cute are they???? I would have one (or 2) in every room too!
Kitchen: on the fridge for random paperclips & safety pins I can never find in the junk drawer
childcare desk: push pins for the bulletin board
childcare kitchen drawer for the little things that get buried
scrapbook room: oh my heavens… anythign that would fit 🙂

Love those twisty bobby pins! I got them before I got my hair cut, then felt like an idiot for getting my hair cut… but they still work in my shorter hair!! Love that you can put the bowls upright and the stuff still stays in them!

I want to know more about magnetic paint. How strong is it? Like, if I primed a wall with it, then wanted to get a piece of paper to stay on that wall (like a schedule for our family), would I be able to just put a paper clip on top of the paper on that wall and it would stick? Wouldn’t that be so cool looking?
Kimbo says
it’s not super strong…but i think it would hold a piece of paper for sure….

Your Dad is a genius! Now we know where you get it from lady. I will have to have about 25 or so myself plus another 50 to give away to family and friends. Love, Love, love this. Thank you so much for sharing this.
