Embroidery Magnet Kits

Blanks and components for decorative fridge magnets

This section covers embroidery magnet kits, blanks and small components used to turn finished cross stitch or bead embroidery work into a wearable or displayable object. You will find plastic and metal frames, magnet bases, protective covers and assorted shapes such as circles, ovals, hearts and rectangles suited to small handmade pieces.

These blanks are widely used by craft makers who combine embroidery with resin casting, decoupage or fabric inserts, not only for finished stitched designs. The same frame and magnet components often turn up in mixed media projects alongside dried flowers, glitter or printed images, since the base itself is a simple mounting solution rather than a single purpose item. Buyers who furnish craft studios or hobby stores frequently pair these blanks with items from creative and handmade kits to build a broader assortment for customers working across several techniques at once.

Some workshops that also offer soap making classes stock these magnet blanks as an additional small gift item alongside kits from the soap making kits section, since both are compact, low cost add ons for retail counters.

Shapes, frame materials and finish options

Frame blanks in this section differ mainly by outline, depth and finish. Round and oval shapes suit most stitched or beaded panels, while hearts and rectangles work better for pieces with straight edges or asymmetrical layouts. Plastic frames are lightweight and easy to trim, whereas metal bases give a firmer edge and a slightly heavier feel that some buyers prefer for gift items.

Depth matters too, since a shallow frame fits flat embroidery but a deeper cavity is needed once resin, padding or a fabric backing is added behind the stitched piece. Protective covers, where included, mainly guard the finished surface during storage or transport rather than change how the blank is assembled.

Choosing a blank and pairing it with other materials

The right frame depends on the size of the finished piece, the mounting method planned and whether the object will be handled often. A magnet base needs a flat, stable back plate so it holds weight without pulling loose, which is why frame and magnet components are usually sold as matched sets rather than separate parts.

These blanks are not limited to one craft technique. The same frames get filled with dried botanicals, printed paper, polymer clay elements or mixed media inlays, so a studio stocking polymer clay supplies alongside these blanks can offer customers several ways to fill the same base. For stitched designs specifically, kits such as the Bead embroidery kit Mini squirrel magnet or the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini Big friend already include a matching blank, which makes them a convenient starting point for beginners who do not want to source frame and canvas separately.

Seasonal and character themes are common across the range, from the Bead embroidery kit Mini Magnet Winter Guest and the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini Merry walk to the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini Cheerful bear. Animal and nature motifs appear frequently as well, including the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini Hedgehog with a mushroom, the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini Chick and the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini baby elephant.

Origin and storage notes

Frame and magnet blanks in this range are produced in Ukraine, which keeps restocking predictable for shops that sell steadily through the year. Winter themed pieces such as the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini New Year's surprise, the Kit for embroidery with beads Magnet mini family of penguins and the Bead embroidery kit Mini Magnet New Year is coming tend to move fastest before the holiday season, so many stores order these blanks slightly ahead of that period.

Store the blanks flat and away from direct sunlight, since prolonged heat can warp thin plastic frames and dull printed or coated surfaces on magnet bases. Keeping components in their original packaging until use also prevents scratches on polished metal frames before a customer or workshop attendee assembles the final piece.

FAQ

What are embroidery magnet blanks used for

These blanks are round, oval, heart or rectangular frames with a magnetic base designed to hold small handmade inserts. They work for finished cross stitch pieces, resin fillings, decoupage prints or pressed flowers, giving crafters a ready mounting solution instead of building a frame from scratch.

What materials are the magnet frames and covers made from

Frames typically come in plastic or metal, paired with a flat magnet base and a clear protective cover. Plastic versions are lighter and easier to trim, while metal frames give a firmer edge for pieces that will be handled often or displayed on a fridge or metal surface.

Can these blanks be used for projects other than cross stitch

Yes, the same frames and magnet bases suit mixed media work such as glitter fillings, dried botanicals, printed photos or small fabric scraps. The blank itself is a mounting shape rather than a stitching accessory, so it fits any flat insert that matches the frame size.

What shapes and sizes are available for magnet blanks

Common shapes include circles, ovals, hearts and rectangles in a range of small sizes suited to compact embroidery or resin pieces. Choosing a shape usually depends on the finished artwork dimensions and whether the design has straight edges or a rounded outline.

How should magnet blanks and covers be stored before use

Keep plastic frames and covers away from direct heat or prolonged sunlight, since warped plastic no longer seats the insert evenly. Store flat in their original packaging to prevent scratches on clear covers, which affects how the finished piece looks once assembled.

Recommendations

When picking magnet blanks for a workshop or retail counter, match the frame shape and inner diameter to the actual size of the finished inserts you plan to mount, since a mismatch leaves gaps around the edge. Compare plastic and metal bases if durability during shipping or repeated handling matters for your customers. For studios stocking several techniques at once, ordering a mixed batch of shapes tends to cover more finished designs without overstocking a single size.
