Modern Magnetic Display Strips
Modern Magnetic Display Strips
A clean, straight-edge magnetic display that works like a bulletin board without taking over the wall. Pin up this week's artwork, the family calendar, school papers, recipe cards or a row of favorite photos — then swap it all in seconds. No pushpins, and no holes in anything you hang.
Each strip is made to order in our shop in Texas, with a slim profile that sits flush to the wall. Most orders ship within one business day.

Ways people use them
Ways people use them
Family command center — calendars, schedules, permission slips and the grocery list, all in one place by the door.
Home office — notes, reminders and the things you want in front of you, without a corkboard.
Kids' art and schoolwork — this week's masterpiece and last week's spelling test.
Homeschool and classrooms — lesson plans, charts and student work you rotate often.
Kitchen — recipe cards, meal plans and takeout menus.
Photos and prints — a row of favorites you can rearrange on a whim.
How to choose a size
How to choose a size
Measure the widest thing you'll hang, then pick the length that gives it a little room on each side. All four are 1.5" tall.
18" — one sheet of school paper (9x12), or two pieces of printer paper side by side in portrait. Good over a desk, a nightstand, or a narrow spot between doors.
23" — one sheet of construction paper (12x18), or two pieces of printer paper side by side in landscape. The hallway size.
35" — two 12x18 sheets side by side, or three pieces of printer paper in landscape. Fills the wall above a couch or a playroom table.
46" — three 12x18 sheets, or four pieces of printer paper in landscape. This is the one people stack two or three high for a gallery wall.
Not sure? Go one size up. Extra room is never the thing people regret.
What's included
What's included
- Your set — 2, 3 or 4 bars, all one length and one color

- Everything ships in a protective box so nothing arrives bent
Every bar stands 1.5" tall, whatever length you choose.
Colors & finishes
Colors & finishes
Black — flat charcoal black. Ships with black screws.
White — soft warm white, not stark. Ships with white screws.
Hammered Copper — beautifully textured finish with real variation across the surface. Ships with black screws.
White Gold — pale champagne. Silver in cool light, more gold in warm light. Reads as a neutral until the light catches it. Ships with silver screws.
Gold — warm brassy gold with depth to it. Ships with silver screws, because no one sells gold screws at an affordable price. If that bothers you, hang it with adhesive strips and skip the screws entirely.
How to hang it
How to hang it
There are two ways to put one of these on the wall, and neither one takes long.
Screws and anchors (included). The mounting holes are already spaced along the length. Mark your points, pre-drill, drive the anchors, and set it in place. You don't need to find a stud — they're light enough that drywall anchors are plenty. A small level helps.
The screws are color-matched to your display: black ships with black screws, white with white, hammered copper with black, and both gold and white gold with silver screws.
Adhesive strips (not included). Even our longest display weighs under a pound, which is the whole reason we make them slim. 3M strips are one of the most popular ways our customers hang these — no drill, no holes, no landlord conversation. Great for rentals, dorms and plaster walls. Clean the wall first and let the strips set for an hour before loading up the artwork.
Once it's up, the display sits flush against the wall, so nothing catches a shoulder or a backpack strap in a hallway.
Free shipping
Free shipping
Free shipping on orders of $50 or more. Orders under $50 ship for a flat $9.95.
Most orders ship within one business day. We send UPS Ground from our shop in Nacogdoches, Texas, and you'll get a tracking number by email as soon as the label prints.
Everything ships in a protective box sized to the length you ordered, so nothing arrives bent.
We ship to the continental United States — the lower 48 plus Washington, D.C. We aren't able to ship to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, or APO/FPO addresses. Our products are long and light, which is the worst possible combination for air freight, and the shipping would cost more than the item itself.
A note on PO boxes: UPS doesn't deliver to them. If you enter one, we'll email you for a street address before your order goes out. For smaller items we can sometimes send USPS instead — just ask.
Returns & our promise
Returns & our promise
Every order is built after you place it — we cut, coat and assemble each item to your specifications once we see your order. Nothing sits on a shelf waiting.
30-day returns. If an item isn't right for you, contact us within 30 days to arrange a return. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility, and items need to arrive undamaged to be refunded. Many of our items are long and awkward to ship, so they need to be packed properly for the trip back.
Personalized items can't be returned. Anything made with a name or custom text is made for one person and can't be resold.
If something's wrong, we'll make it right. Damaged in transit, missing pieces, wrong color, not what you ordered — email us before sending anything back so we can look into it. We'll work out the right fix with you, whether that's a replacement, a repair or a refund.
Email mary@wildandfreefarmhouse.com and we'll answer within one business day.
Magnet safety & warnings
Magnet safety & warnings
Keep magnets away from children under 6. Our magnets are small and strong. Like any small magnet, they are a choking hazard, and if more than one is swallowed they can attract to each other through the intestinal wall and cause serious internal injury. This is a medical emergency, not a wait-and-see.
If you think a child has swallowed a magnet, go to an emergency room right away. Don't wait for symptoms.
We say this plainly because it matters more than a sale does. If you have a toddler in the house, hang your display above their reach and keep the spare magnets somewhere they can't get to.
Other things worth knowing. Keep magnets away from pacemakers, hearing aids and other implanted medical devices. Keep them off credit cards, hotel keys and anything else with a magnetic stripe. They can also affect older electronics and mechanical watches.
Handling. Let magnets come together gently rather than snapping them — they can pinch fingers and can chip if they strike hard.
Our displays themselves are powder-coated steel with no sharp edges, and they mount flush to the wall. It's the loose magnets that need the care, not the display.

Exactly as described and just want I was looking for to hang my childrens' art!
These are exactly what I was looking to get. An excelellent way for my daughter to display her art, school pictures, and certificates. The colorful magnets are a great touch.
Arrived protected. I'm using them to hold instax pictures and they work perfectly for this.
I received the item quickly. They were also very responsive with questions that I had. I just did not realize how thin the metal was. Also, the hardware sent with the product was not long enough to hang the product correctly.
The item looks great! Made with care and nice and flush against the wall. Exactly what we were looking for, for our kids art work! Sellers very kind, helpful and quick. Would absolutely recommend.

These magnetic strips are beautiful! I wanted a way to display our grandkids artwork so they could actively see that we treasure their efforts/them and these strips were perfect! The only awful part was the shipping- sadly the USPS has been absolutely decimated here in Metro Detroit and they sat at the Pontiac sorting facility for well over a week (thanks to the removal of sorting machines by the US government back in the summer of 2020...). That meant they arrived the day our grandkids flew home so they didn't get to see it ... but next visit!
The quality is so great. Metal is sturdy - easy to put the screws into the wall and hang. And the magnets sent were also super strong!
The magnetic strips are good quality and no sharp edges. Easy to mount, we didn't even use the anchor plugs since we were just hanging lightweight artwork. However, they supplied more than enough screws and anchor plugs. I ordered two 24" strips. Each can hold about 3 pcs of letter size paper. The little colorful magnets are perfect and a good quantity. Communication was great from the minute the order was placed until delivery.
These magnetic strips are perfect. They came nicely packaged with the mounting hardware and the cutest colorful magnets. Seller communication was fantastic. Recommending these to all of my friends!
Really cute solution for a blank wall in my office and the endless amount of artwork that comes home with my kids. Plus they were excited to hang up their art themselves.
Our fridge is not magnetic and the side is covered with wood cabinetry. This worked perfectly to stick on the wood side of the fridge with command strips so we could keep our cards and invites safe!
Great item! Shipped very quickly and easy to install. I hope this will be a better home for my son's drawings.
Unique find. I wanted magnetic bars for my kids' artwork, but didn't want ordinary black or white powdered coated metal. These are much higher quality. Love the hammered copper.
Great customer service - very responsive & attentive. Really love our new magnetic strips for our son’s room. Such a fun way for him to personalize his space and easily change it up without having to worry about tacks, tape, etc.
I don’t like leaving poor reviews, but for the price of these two strips of metal, there are several overlooked details that I was disappointed in:
1) The holes in the metal strip are on 10 inch centers. No one puts studs on 10 inch centers. You could still include the drywall anchors but provide the option to mount to wall studs on 16”s.
2) I am a handy person and was surprised when I had multiple drywall anchors snap on me when trying to get them flush with the wall. I pre-drilled large holes and still had to get my own better-quality anchors (which installed fine)
3) I’m not sure why the seller would go through the trouble of a full powder coat only to give non-matching screws… I can use touch up paint to match, but this is a simple courtesy the seller could provide. The result looks sloppy with provided screws.
I love these magnetic plates for hanging my sons school work and artwork! Super easy to hang up. They even included colorful magnets and all hanging hardware (including an extra screw per plate).
Mary and Josh kept me updated on my order as soon as it was placed. It arrived promptly and was just as pictured. It is a great way to display my sons artwork!
This is exactly what we needed to display my son’s art work (as you can see we are currently in our Spidey stage). Shipping was very fast and customer service was top notch. Zero complaints!

The item is exactly as it says. We used it in our kids playroom for all of their artwork! Would buy again!
Great product! Simple and does the trick!
