numbers
Making 7-segment numbers for my car for autocrossing and stuff!

This is made of some cheap magnetic material I found at Garden Ridge Pottery for a whopping $2.50 per sheet. Each sheet is 12"x9", and is about 1.5-2mm thick, just like your typical refrigerator magnet. It's called "Magnetic Canvas."

it helps them look better if you make the "8" first, tighten up all the gaps, then take away the segments you don't need - your number will look better that way.
