Cool Ideas on my cheapo ghetto tank bag?

I have an old door magnetic sign on my freezer in the shop. I was thinking of cutting it to fit the back of this old bag my kids ditched somewhere along the way and using spray adhesive to stick it the the back. Should I remove the back pack straps or what should I do with them. All advice appreciated and your sarcasm is OK too!



Will the magnet in itself suffice or how can I make this happen and not take 5 minutes to access my gas cap?

Very ghetto....lol

Do you think you could make a pocket for the backpack straps to tuck into...maybe sew a pocket for each one? That way it's easily converted into a backpack when needed.

it works.
i made a few very very cheap.
had a laptop bag layign around. cut off the front main pockets that are about 8x12"
stitch fabric over hardrive magnets or superglued them on the bag.
slap the bag on tank.
my friend ended up giving me a brand new tank bag for free with a clear top on it so i can put my droid 4 in it for the ulysesis speedo app.

i think you'll need something stronger than spray adhesive.

would recommend sewing/riveting the magnet if possible.

wouldn't it be easier to insert a page of magnets into the pocket of the backpack? should stick through the back, right?
