Learn How to use the Magnetic Frame

What is a Magnetic Frame?

A magnetic frame is one of the easiest and most stylish ways to display your finished diamond painting. Made from wood with built-in magnets, it securely holds your canvas without any hassle. Its modern and minimalist look makes it a great choice, especially for canvases with unique or nonstandard sizes.

We offer magnetic frames in three colors: black, white, and wood.
Available sizes range from 20–60cm (8–24 inches).

How to choose the right size?

Just measure the top width of your canvas and select the magnetic frame in the same or slightly longer size. Then pick your favorite color!

👉 For example, if your canvas size is 50x70cm (20x28"), the width is 50cm (20"), so you’ll need a 50cm (20") magnetic frame.
👉 If your canvas is 45cm (18"), go for a 50cm (20") frame to ensure a secure fit.

It’s important that the frame is either the same width or longer than your canvas to hold it properly.

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

1. Place one magnetic frame strip on the blank top part of your canvas. Make sure your beads are touching the frame and not underneath it. Use a pen to trace the top part of the frame as this will serve as your guide later.

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

3. Cut the excess canvas on the top and bottom parts. Then cut off both sides of your canvas, as these will not be included in the frame. When trimming the sides, be very careful and precise. Cut right up to the edge of the beads without cutting into them.

Please refer to the example photo below and trim all the areas marked with red boxes.

4. Pull the magnetic frames apart and place the canvas in between the two wooden strips. Use the pair with the hanging cord on the top part of your canvas, and the other pair on the bottom. The magnets inside the frames will hold your canvas securely in place.

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