What is a Magnetic Frame?

It is the easiest frame to use when displaying your diamond painting canvas. It's made of wood and has magnets in between to hold the picture inside the frame. It has a modern and artistic design and it's versatile making it perfect for kits with odd sizes.

We're offering our magnetic frames from 20-60cm / 8-24" and in 3 different colors: black, white, and wood.

So how to choose the perfect size for your magnetic frame?

Simply check the length of the top of your canvas and select a matching size magnetic frame, and don't forget you can choose from 3 different colors.

This example of the Cute Owl design below is in 50x70cm / 20x28". As the top part is 50cm / 20", the lower part of the magnetic frame will be the same  50cm / 20". 

Please note if your canvas is 45cm / 18", you should order a 50cm / 20" magnetic frame. It is important to make sure your magnetic frame is the same size or longer than your canvas.

Now that you already know which size to get for your canvas, here are 5 simple steps to follow on how to install your magnetic frame.

1. Place 1 magnetic frame strip on the blank top part of your canvas. Make sure your beads are touching the frame and not under it. Trace the top part of the frame with a pen as you will use this as your guide later.

2. Do the same thing on the bottom blank part of your canvas. 

3. Cut the excess canvas on the top and bottom part. Now cut off both sides of your canvas as this will not be framed. When cutting away the sides it is extremely important to make sure to cut accurately and with care, right up to the edge of the beads.

Please see the example photo below and cut all the parts where the red boxes are.

4. Pull the magnetic frames apart and place the canvas in between the 2 wooden strips. Place the cord handing pair on the top part of your canvas and the other pair on the bottom part of your canvas. The magnets in the frames will hole your canvas together.

5. You're now ready to hang your canvas anywhere in your home!

Here's a sample of Laura's finished work of the Happy Camper Diamond Painting Kit in 30x40cm / 12x16". She used the magnetic frame in wood color and in size 30cm / 12".
