Diamond painting is an amazing and new style of artwork that is completed using diamond-like beads on a DMC-coded adhesive canvas. The best way of describing it is that it's as if you're painting with diamonds. The result is a sparkling and colorful mosaic style picture.
The art could be considered as a mix between cross stitch and paint by numbers. It was first seen in 2015 when it was designed as a therapeutic alternative to other types of artwork. It's much faster and easier compared to the skills needed in say cross-stitch, and that makes it suitable for all age ranges and abilities. It also creates less mess than painting and doesn't require the same fine motor skills; you can't go over the lines with diamond painting!
There's also no delay in having to learn lots of new skills; once you have the kit, then you're ready to start creating some beautiful images.
Within each diamond painting kit, you'll find a pre-glued canvas that has the image printed directly on to it. Just lift the protective cover from the section that you're working on to ensure that the adhesive stays sticky when you're ready to work on other parts of the canvas.
To apply the diamonds, you simply follow a three-step of dipping the applicator pen in wax, then using it to pick up a diamond and then carefully apply it to the canvas in the appropriate place.
We've found that completing a diamond painting is both meditative and relaxing, and they provide hours of enjoyment as you re-create your design.
If you're interested in diamond art and you're keen to give it a go, then you'll need a diamond art kit to get you started. These come pre-packed with all the tools you need to get started. They typically include the canvas with the pre-applied adhesive, a design chart, a diamond pen tool, and color diamonds in a separate bag. You'll also find a pair of sharp tweezers, and a wax pad that you'll use to pick up the diamonds.

There's also the option to choose from square or round drills. In Paint With Diamonds, "drill" relates to the shape of the diamond included in the kit.
Square drills create a fuller-looking painting because you don't have the gaps around each diamond in the same way that happens with the round drills. They're also easier to line up, giving a fuller mosaic look when the patining has been finished.
Round drills seem to stick to the diamond pen much more easily, making it easier and quicker to attach them to the canvas. They also create a more traditional mosaic effect with the visible gaps around each one.
