Get your stuff together, and figure out how big you want to make this holder.  Then using Corel draw, design your box and lay it out for the laser.

Once your happy with your design, move over to your laser and cut it out.

Now that you have the pieces of your box cut out, it's time to assemble the parts, just like a puzzle.

Now that your box is assembled, it's time to add the magnets ( make sure they are strong enough to hold the weight,  I thought 5 would be plenty, but these magnets were pretty weak, and any less would not have held).  A little superglue on the back, and they are attached.

Done
