| I took some 1/8th inch rare earth magnets and set them into drilled out pockets in strips of flat black painted hardwood that was about 1/2 x 1/2 inch x however long in pairs. Short strips up to three inches long got only needed one magnet each, longer pieces have two or more as needed.
These are plenty powerful enough to hold a sheet of FB paper flat to a piece of steel plate or a large easel with blades move out to maximum, as long as the paper isn't badly curled the wrong way in the first place. Rare earth magnets do need to be in something you can get a grip on to lift, otherwise they are a pain to place or remove by themselves.
