   I may have to “borrow” this idea! It is quite clever!

   Since framers are big kids at heart we were drawn to this right away. Such a practical idea AND an aesthetic one. Imagine: a series of magnetic knife holders running all the way ’round a room adorned with magnets, matchbox cars, souveinrs – what have you. Almost better than framed art!

   That’s a fantastic idea! They’re easy to get at, and easy to put away!

    I love this creative way to display these! My bf and I just moved in together and he has boxes of his toy cars that I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with…looks like I will be stocking up on magnetic knife holders!

    Bought one at Ikea, but apparently none of my son’s matchbox cars or metal trains actually have metal bottoms. It didn’t work. : (

    Okay, so I CASED this idea, it’s super cute! And did a magnetic board from Ikea…pretty cute, round, contemporary looking….BUT NO sticking to it! Did you glue magnets on your cars??????

    I loved this image too. However, none of my boys’ cars are metal. Maybe this only works with vintage collections. I hesitate adding pieces to the bottom of the cars to allow magnetic attraction since it would possibly inhibit their ability to roll. Is this a vintage collection? Or did you find a a work around?

    I had the same problem as others, none of the cars we own will stick.

    OMG this is a great idea!! My son has bins and bins of cars… this would be great for the small ones and only keep the big ones in bins!
