How diamond painting works

Six simple steps from blank canvas to finished art.

1
Step 1

Peel back the film

Lift a small section of the protective film to reveal the sticky, pre-printed canvas underneath.

2
Step 2

Pick a symbol

Choose a symbol on the canvas to work on. Each one maps to a single diamond color.

3
Step 3

Match the color

Find the bag of diamonds whose number matches that symbol, and pour a few into the tray.

4
Step 4

Load the pen

Dip the applicator tip into the wax so it can pick up a diamond cleanly.

5
Step 5

Pick up a diamond

Touch the pen to the faceted top of a diamond to lift it from the tray.

6
Step 6

Place and repeat

Press the flat side onto the matching symbol. Repeat, and watch the picture come to life.

Relax your mind

There's a reason people call diamond painting more soothing than almost any other craft. Placing each diamond is quietly repetitive, and the hours slip by as the image slowly fills in.

It's easy, it's mess-free, and it's for everyone, whether this is your first creative hobby or your hundredth finished canvas.

Choosing your canvas

Whatever your taste, there's a design to match it, from landscapes and animals to florals and fantasy. If you're new, a smaller canvas is a gentle place to start, but bear in mind that larger canvases hold far more detail and end up looking more vivid and realistic. If you want all the glorious detail, size up.

A fresh take on a classic pastime

Diamonds come in a few different styles. Here are the ones to know.

Round

Round diamonds are easy to place since they don't need precise alignment. They give a soft, cross-stitch-like finish that's forgiving for first-timers.

Best for beginners

Square

Square diamonds click together with no gaps for a clean, mosaic look and richer color. They take a little more care to line up.

Fullest coverage

Aurora Borealis (AB)

AB diamonds carry an iridescent coating that shifts in the light like the Northern Lights, adding extra sparkle and a touch of magic.
