Use a lot of tape to connect the magnets to the paintbrush. Make sure that the magnets are evenly spaced and that you measure them the same distance apart with a ruler.

When you have taped both magnets to the paint brushes you can transfer them to a styrafoam board with a board at the end of it as seen in picture. After you finish evenly spacing the magnets make sure that the magnets poles are facing the same way.
