4 SIMPLE STEPS

Let’s get started

Take your time – there is no wrong speed.

  1. Set up your space

    Lay the canvas on a clean, flat table with good light. Pour one color of diamonds into the tray and shake gently so they face up.

  2. Pick up a diamond

    Press the pen tip into the wax. Now the pen picks up a diamond with a light touch.

  3. Place it on its symbol

    Peel back a small part of the film and press each diamond onto its matching symbol. Work in small sections.

  4. Finish and frame

    Press everything down firmly, seal it if you like – then frame your sparkling masterpiece.

  • Work in small sections
  • Take breaks
  • Good light helps

Is diamond painting hard? I have never done it before.

Not at all – if you can match numbers, you can do it. No art skills needed. Our step-by-step guide shows you how.

How long does it take to finish a painting?

It depends on the size and detail. A small painting can take a few relaxing evenings, larger designs a few weeks – go at your own pace.

How do I seal and frame my finished painting?

Press the diamonds down firmly, then use a diamond painting sealer or clear craft glue if you like. Once dry, it is ready to frame and hang.
