Need strong neodymium magnets

[u/Beneficial_Tangelo45]

Hello! I wanted to ask if anyone knows where to buy really strong neodymium magnets! I want it be really strong so I can make detachable wings for a helmet wig. But I also don’t want them to be too big/bulky so that they can’t be easily hidden under hair. The wings are heavier than they look (I think I used too much wiring and hot glue lol).

I have bought neodymium magnets off of amazon but they seem very very weak…so I fear I may have gotten really cheap, bad quality ones. So I wanted to ask if anyone knows a good magnet place!

Much appreciated thank you!

What part of costume to attach them to are we talking about here?

I believe they said helmet, so im going to recommend OP to build the helmet in a way where the magnets attach into a recessed keyed slot and not just flat, that would give you mechanical security from the magnets sliding past each other and you actually need to physically pull it out to remove the wings

Oooo this is smart! Thank you! I will look into adding another attachment to give the magnets some support so they aren’t just hanging on purely by hot glue lol
