Is there a product that makes glass hold magnetic items

I have a vintage door that I am turning into a Family photo collage. I would like to use the photo magnetic sleeves. So I can change the photos out. Anyone know of a product or application method to make the glass adhere magnetically?

If you don't mind covering up the glass, they make magnetic paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vtLBNXNeQo

  This product is only used on wood, masonary, concrete and plaster. Not for use on glass, ceilings amd a few other areas. I certainly don’t want to ruin 100 year old doors. It’s also expensive $25.00 for a quart? you can make your own with Tile Grout sand.
  Thanks anyway.

What a great idea! I would just use self-adhesive strips or dots that are magnetic, available at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, etc. You can cut the strips in half, as long as the weight of the magnetic sleeves does not exceed the magnetic attraction between the two magnets. ☺️

If you are only displaying one side of the door, just use magnets on the other side of the glass
