Is Crystal Art the same as diamond painting?
Crystal Art uses the same relaxing technique of placing resin crystals onto a numbered adhesive template.
Our collection includes framed canvas kits, cards, stickers, notebooks, collectables and officially licensed designs. Check the individual product page for the format, contents and coverage type.
Are your Crystal Art canvas kits framed?
Many of our Crystal Art canvas kits are professionally stretched and mounted onto wooden frames before being sent to you.
This means you can begin crafting without arranging separate framing, and the firm surface makes it easier to position the crystals.
Always check the individual product description, as framing and presentation can vary between products.
Are your products officially licensed?
Where a product features a licensed character, brand or artwork, it is produced under the appropriate licence.
We work with recognised brands, artists and licensors and believe that creators should be properly credited and compensated for their work.
Are your products safety tested?
Our products are tested against the applicable safety requirements and include relevant age guidance and safety warnings.
Please always follow the information supplied with the individual product.
What is included in a Crystal Art kit?
The contents vary depending on the product.
A typical Crystal Art kit may include:
A numbered adhesive template
Resin crystals
A crystal pick-up pen
A tray
Gel or wax
Some products, including individual sticker packs or refill products, may not include applicator tools. Always check the What’s Included section on the product page before ordering.
Are applicator tools included?
Applicator tools are included only where stated in the product description.
Standalone sticker packs, refills and selected accessories may require tools from a starter kit or another Crystal Art product.
What age are Crystal Art products suitable for?
The recommended age varies depending on the product and whether it contains small parts.
Please check the age guidance and safety warnings shown on the individual product page and packaging. Children should be supervised where appropriate.
How long does a Crystal Art kit take to complete?
Completion time depends on the size, detail and coverage of the design, as well as the individual crafter.
Smaller cards, stickers and collectables may be completed relatively quickly, while larger canvas kits may take several sessions.
Are Crystal Art kits full or partial coverage?
We offer both full-coverage and partial-coverage designs.
Full coverage means crystals are applied across the whole design area.
Partial coverage means crystals are applied only to selected parts of the artwork, allowing the printed background to remain visible.
The coverage type is stated on each product page.
Do finished Crystal Art products need to be sealed?
Crystal Art products do not usually need to be sealed when the crystals have been applied firmly and the product has been stored correctly.
The adhesive is designed to hold the crystals securely. If you choose to use a sealant, check that it is suitable for resin crystals and test it on a small area first.
What should I do if I apply a crystal in the wrong place?
Carefully lift the crystal using tweezers or the edge of the applicator tool, then reposition it onto the correct symbol.
Avoid pulling sharply, as this may damage the adhesive template.
Custom Crystal Art Kits
How long does a custom Crystal Art kit take to arrive?
Custom Crystal Art kits are specially produced at our factory in China and normally take approximately 2–4 weeks to arrive.
This timeframe is an estimate and may vary during busy periods.
What type of photograph works best for a custom kit?
For the best result, choose a photograph that is:
Clear and in focus
Well lit
High resolution
Not heavily filtered
Closely cropped around the main subject
Free from very dark shadows or overexposed areas
Images with a clear subject and an uncluttered background generally produce the strongest result.
Can I change or cancel a custom order?
Please contact us immediately if you need to change or cancel a custom order.
Because custom products are made specifically for you, changes or cancellations may not be possible once production has started.
Please check names, photographs, sizes and other personalised details carefully before completing your order.
Can I return a custom Crystal Art kit?
Custom and personalised products are normally excluded from change-of-mind returns.
This does not affect your rights where an item is faulty, damaged or has not been produced according to the information supplied.
Please see our Returns Policy for full details.
Payments, Discounts and Rewards
What payment methods do you accept?
The available payment options are displayed at checkout and may vary according to your location and device.
We accept major payment cards and supported express payment methods shown during checkout.
Can I use more than one discount code?
Whether discount codes can be combined depends on the terms of the promotion.
Unless an offer specifically states that it can be combined with another promotion, only one promotional code may be used per order. Checkout will confirm whether the selected codes are compatible.
My discount code is not working. What should I do?
Check that:
The code has been entered correctly
The offer has not expired
Your basket meets any minimum spend
The products are eligible
The code has not already been used
Another promotion is not preventing it from applying
If the code still does not work, contact our Customer Service team before completing your order.
