How to Diamond Paint

Diamond Painting is the new hot do it yourself craft. It's a cross between paint by numbers and cross stitch, by using sparkly diamond drills to create a beautiful masterpiece. Each kit comes with a pen, tray, glue pad, diamonds, and a sticky canvas with a color-coded guide on it, which corresponds with the provided diamonds. 

 

How To Diamond Paint:

Step One: take your pen and push the tip into the provided glue pad (make sure to pull the plastic cover off your glue pad)

Step 2: Pour your diamonds into the tray, as you shake your tray the diamonds will flip the correct way. Use your pen to pick them up (when it becomes hard to pick them up use the glue pad again). Make sure to pick them up on the curved side so the flat side is the side that is placed onto the canvas.

Step 3: Use the color-coded guide on the canvas and find the corresponding symbol that matches the diamonds you poured into your tray (each pack of diamonds has a number written on it)

Step 4: Continue placing diamonds onto the sticky canvas in their correct spaces until all spots are filled.

Step 5: Seal your painting (optional) Recommended sealer: Minwax Polycrylic Clear Gloss

Step 6: Cut the edges off your painting and put in a frame OR keep your edges and wrap around a canvas board (see our Facebook group for how to videos for both options)
