Diamond painting magnets are the quickest win in the whole craft — most of our kits are 6 or 8 pack sets, so you can finish a whole magnet in an evening rather than committing to a full canvas. Each finished piece has a magnetic backing, so it goes straight onto the fridge, a filing cabinet, a radiator or a school locker. Designs in this range include butterflies, sea turtles, colourful owls, learning bees, cupcakes, fruit, animal paw prints, sunflower gnomes and assorted sea creatures, plus a welcome owl tin that holds 12 magnets and doubles as a hanging decoration.

Why Magnet Kits Suit Short Crafting Sessions

A full-size canvas can take weeks. A magnet takes an hour or two. That makes these kits ideal if you want the calm, repetitive rhythm of diamond art without a long-term project sitting on the table — and it makes them a sensible first buy if you've never tried diamond painting and don't want to commit to a large kit. Because each pack contains several designs, you also get variety in a single purchase, which is why they work so well as multi-person gifts, stocking fillers and classroom rewards.

What's Included

Every magnet kit arrives complete: pre-printed adhesive bases with numbered symbols, colour-sorted resin diamonds, an applicator pen, wax pad and a sorting tray. The magnetic backing is already fitted, so there's no glue or assembly beyond placing the diamonds. No extra tools or framing needed.

Choosing a Magnet Kit

Pick by design and pack size rather than difficulty — magnets are beginner friendly across the board because the surface area is small and the colour counts are low. If you're buying for someone new to the craft, the assorted animal and nature packs give the most variety per pack. If you want something that displays as a set rather than individually, the welcome owl tin keeps all 12 magnets together as one decoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a diamond painting magnet take to finish?
Most individual magnets take around one to two hours, depending on the design and how many colours it uses. A full 6 or 8 pack is usually a few evenings' work rather than a long-term project.

Do the magnets come with the magnetic backing already attached?
Yes. The magnetic backing is fitted to each base, so once you have placed the diamonds the magnet is ready to display. There is no glue or assembly step.

Are diamond painting magnet kits suitable for beginners?
Yes. The bases are pre-printed with numbered symbols and the small surface area means fewer colours to sort, so no previous diamond painting experience is needed. Our Sparkle & Craft blog explains the basics if you are starting from scratch.

How many magnets are in each kit?
Most kits in this range contain 6 or 8 magnets. The welcome owl tin contains 12 magnets together with the tin itself.

Do you offer free UK delivery?
Yes. We offer free UK delivery on orders over £10.

Are these kits suitable for children?
Not suitable for children under 14 years. The kits contain small parts.
