Magnetic bookmarks
How do I get the magnets to face each other correctly?
Every magnet has two poles, north and south. Opposite poles attract, same poles repel. You want opposite poles facing each other so the bookmark snaps shut firmly.
Our studio trick: put two magnets together and twist until they pull tight and snap into their strongest position. This is usually a 'Z shape' where they align fully. That's your correct orientation.
A second trick: peel one magnet off the backing sheet and stick it in place on one side of the bookmark. Then peel the magnet directly above it from the same sheet. Because they came off stacked together, their poles will already be in the right orientation when you stick the second one down.
