Neodymium Craft Magnets — A Complete Guide for DIY Projects

Blogg7 October 2026

Why neodymium magnets?

Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets are the strongest permanent magnets available. Even a tiny 6×1 mm disc can hold several times its own weight. This makes them incredibly versatile for crafts, DIY projects, jewelry making, home organisation and more.

Choosing the right size

We carry neodymium magnets in several sizes, all rated N52 (the strongest consumer grade):

  • 6 × 1 mm — Tiny but mighty. Perfect for jewelry clasps, miniatures, fridge magnets, name badges and small closures.
  • 10 × 3 mm — Our bestseller. Great all-round size for craft projects, magnetic closures on boxes and bags, fridge magnets, and DIY tool holders.
  • 10 × 5 × 2 mm (rectangular) — Flat profile for flush-mounting in wood, leather or cardboard. Popular for handmade book covers, boxes and games.

10+ project ideas

  1. Fridge magnets — Glue a magnet to resin art, polymer clay shapes, or painted stones.
  2. Jewelry clasps — Sew or glue 6mm magnets into bracelet ends for easy-on, easy-off clasps.
  3. Magnetic bookmarks — Two magnets sandwiching decorative paper = a bookmark that never falls out.
  4. Magnetic closures for handmade boxes — Embed magnets in the lid and base of gift boxes.
  5. Name badges — One magnet behind the badge, one behind the fabric = no pin holes.
  6. Board games — Hide magnets under game pieces so they snap to a magnetic board.
  7. Hanging art — Magnetic hanging systems leave no holes in walls or frames.
  8. Scrapbooking — Magnetic closures on interactive cards and mini albums.
  9. Educational projects — Magnetic letters, science experiments, and interactive displays for schools.
  10. Candle making — Embed magnets in the base of containers for reusable magnetic candle holders.

Safety tips

  • Keep strong magnets away from credit cards, pacemakers and electronic devices.
  • Large neodymium magnets can pinch fingers — handle with care.
  • Not suitable for young children who might swallow them.
