Craft Buddy

A craft kit brand that began in a garden shed

Craft Buddy was founded in 2010 by brothers Dino and Gary Wadhwani, who turned their family roots in the arts and crafts industry into a business that now employs more than 40 people and serves customers in over 40 countries. The breakthrough came in 2014 with Crystal Art, launched as what the brand calls the UK's first diamond painting kits.

The idea is simple: a kit that arrives with the design and, in many cases, the materials for it, ready to turn into something you can display.

Which Crystal Art kit suits you

Crystal Art cards and Buddies are good places to start. Cards, such as the 15x15cm Strawberry Cupcake, turn a numbered design into a finished picture, and Buddies bring familiar characters into the same craft. If you want a picture for the wall, the canvas, scroll and framed kits come in formats such as 30x30cm and 40x50cm. For something to stand on a shelf, the 3D buildable kits and LED decorations add a model to the crystals.

Paint by Numb3rs guides you through painting if you would rather use a brush. Forever Flowerz makes life-like blooms for wreaths, bouquets and displays. And for model makers, the Book Nook range of Li'l Rooms and Li'l Worlds kits builds small scenes you assemble yourself. New kits, designs and collections launch regularly.

Licensed Disney and Harry Potter craft kits

The Crystal Art Buddies range pairs the technique with well-known characters, and the Harry Potter collection has its own coupons on this page while they last. These characters belong to their licence owners, and CoinBack is not affiliated with them.

Delivery and returns for Craft Buddy kits

UK delivery. UK Standard Tracked takes an estimated 2–4 working days and Premium Tracked an estimated 1–2 working days, both with Royal Mail. Standard Tracked is free on orders of £35 or more. The UK covers Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. Once your order is dispatched you receive an email with a tracking number and link.

Delivery abroad. Europe takes an estimated 5–7 working days, the USA and Canada 7–10, and Australia and Mexico 5–10. Customs duties or import taxes may apply outside the UK and can be payable before delivery. Costs for your destination are shown at checkout before you pay.

Custom Crystal Art kits. They take about 2–4 weeks to arrive and are not refundable. If an order mixes in-stock and pre-order items, it normally ships together when the pre-order item is ready, so place separate orders if you want the rest sooner.

Returns. If an item is faulty, damaged or incorrect, you get a full refund and Craft Buddy covers return shipping; contact customer service before sending anything back. For a change of mind you have 30 days for a refund if the item is unused and in its original packaging, and you pay the return postage. There are no direct exchanges: return the item and place a new order.
