1.875" Round Magnet for 2.25" Round Buttons
These 1-7/8" round adhesive magnets turn 2.25" buttons into refrigerator magnets. They are sized for 2-1/4" round buttons made with a flat recessed metal back with a dimple — peel the backing, press the magnet into the recessed back of the finished button, and it is ready to hang.
2.25" is ABM's most popular button size, and buying the magnets on their own lets you restock just the part you use up. Magnets come in packs of 100, 500, and 1,000. Need everything in one box instead? The complete 2.25" Self-Adhesive Magnet Set includes the shell, mylar, recessed back, and magnet.

Which Magnet Do I Need?
Match the magnet to the button size and back style. ABM sells four loose adhesive magnets, and the right one depends on the button you pressed:
- 3/4" magnet: 1" collet-back buttons and 1.25" un-pinned buttons.
- 1" magnet: 1.25" collet-back buttons and 1.5" and 1.75" un-pinned buttons.
- 1-7/8" magnet (this product): 2.25" buttons with flat recessed backs with dimple.
- 2-5/8" magnet: 3" buttons with flat recessed backs.

Ways to Use 1-7/8" Magnets
2.25" is the size most people picture when they think of a button, which makes it a natural fit for magnets too. Popular uses include:
- Restocking magnet production. Replace just the magnets when you run through them faster than the other parts.
- Refrigerator magnets. Art, sayings, logos, and photos sold as singles or multipacks at craft fairs and online.
- Business and promotional magnets. Logos and phone numbers that stay on the refrigerator instead of in a drawer.
- Classroom and library projects. Student artwork and reading-program rewards families can hang at home.
- Party favors and save-the-dates. Magnets for weddings, showers, and events guests take home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which buttons do these 1-7/8" magnets fit?
They are sized for 2.25" round buttons made with a flat recessed metal back with a dimple — the same back used in ABM's 2.25" Self-Adhesive Magnet Set. For 3" recessed-back buttons, use the 2-5/8" magnet instead.
What comes in a pack?
Magnets only — 100, 500, or 1,000 round 1-7/8" adhesive magnets, depending on the pack you choose. Shells, mylar, and backs are sold separately. If you would rather have everything in one package, order the complete 2.25" Self-Adhesive Magnet Set.
How do I attach the magnet?
Press your 2.25" button as usual with a flat recessed back. Peel the paper backing off the magnet and press it firmly into the recessed area on the back of the finished button. No glue is needed.
Can I turn a 2.25" pinback button into a magnet?
These adhesive magnets are made for recessed flat backs, not pinned backs. For finished 2.25" pinned back buttons, use our Ceramic Magnets, which work with pinned buttons without glue.
