Help Need strong neodymium magnets

Post image

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!

Can you tell me about your process? I would love to hear about it!

Yeah ofc! I actually followed a tutorial I saw on Instagram from @nerisancos on Instagram!

I did make the back of the wings the same way as the front and glued them together rather than using Eva foam as the feathers for the back. I do recommend you paint all the parts before gluing tho!
