As well as these, Craft Buddy also has other Harry Potter themed craft sets, including larger crystal art canvas sets, crystal art greeting cards, crystal art scrolls, crystal art keyrings, and a “Paint By Numb3rs” canvas kit.

Craft Buddy Harry Potter DIY Craft Kits
This captivating range of Harry Potter craft kits are a great way for fans to step into the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter whilst unleashing their creativity at the same time.
For the Crystal Art Buddies, you can choose from the follow popular Harry Potter characters:
- Harry Potter
- Ron Weasley
- Hermione Granger
- Hedwig
- Rubeus Hagrid
- Albus Dumbledore
- Minerva McGonagall
- Neville Longbottom
These are all collectable characters from the Series 3 Harry Potter Crystal Art Buddies range.
We have Harry Potter and also Hedwig the owl. My 10-year-old did the Harry Potter set and my 5-year-old the Hedwig one because she loves owls. They are recommended from 6 years+ but younger children can do them too with a little supervision from a parent.
What’s included in a Crystal Art Buddies set?
Each set includes the following items:
- 1 x Wooden Crystal Art Buddy with adhesive template
- 1 x Wooden Display Stand
- 1 x Crystal pick up pen
- 1 x Tray
- 1 x Wax
- Bags of crystals
- Ziplock bags for leftover crystals
That’s everything you need to complete your project and create a great-looking Harry Potter decoration. Each Harry Potter Crystal Art Buddies character is approximately 11 cm in size. The base stand is approximately 8 cm in width. The character template and base are both made from laser-grade plywood which looks lovely.
Crystal Art Buddies Assembly
It takes around 20-30 minutes to complete a Crystal Art Buddy. How long it takes depends a bit on whether you have done any Crystal Art or Diamond Painting before or whether you need to learn the technique from scratch. It’s quick and easy to learn though and fun for both children and adults. Crystal Art is a wonderful therapeutic and soothing creative activity. It’s ideal when you want to do something calm.
The first step is to pour the gems of the right colour into your tray and also to prepare the pick up pen with a little bit of wax. Then you peel the protective film off your template base to reveal the sticky layer. Finally, get started picking up gems and placing them on the template in the correct place. There’s a letter for each colour so it’s easy to see where to put which colour. Keep going until you have completed all the dots, then place the figure in its stand to display it.
Harry Potter Crystal Art Buddies Review – Conclusion
I love that the sets come with everything you need and that they even include bags for leftover crystals so that you can save them for future craft projects. Plus, the finished characters look so good! My girls loved making their Harry Potter Crystal Art Buddies and they are now proudly displayed in their rooms. These sets would make excellent gifts for Harry Potter fans!
