Diamond Painting is a type of craft project, similar to painting by numbers, that is trending right now because it combines all the best elements of cross-stitching and painting by numbers.
Similar to digital pixel art or glass mosaics, this is a craft that utilizes small resin gems—the diamonds—to create a picture. It all starts with a canvas that features a pre-printed image. To create the painting, you use an applicator pen to stick diamonds to the adhesive canvas according to the provided pattern.
Diamond painting works like your usual paint by numbers but it has a twist. Rather than painting using numbers, the grid is usually covered with symbols. The kit comes with a legend so you know where to place the drills.
Although you’re following a set pattern, you’re not limited to what’s on the grid. You can use your creativity to play with the drill’s facets for a more dazzling effect.
The kits come complete with all the items that you require to complete your painting and include all the following:
More than enough dots to complete your painting
The Canvas clearly colour coded
Pen Applicator
Wax strip to pick up the dot (with the pen)
Small tray (to hold your dots)
The canvas is covered in a thin film that protects the sticky portion of the canvas to which the dots are added…therefore no glue is required and you are ready to start immediately.
