What Is Diamond Painting?
Diamond painting is a combination of cross-stitch and paint-by-numbers.It's to apply hundreds of sparkling resin rhinestones, one-by-one, on an adhesive color-coded canvas painting. The end result is a vivid, shimmering work of art. Each piece can be framed and hung in your office, gifted to a loved one, or kept for yourself to enjoy.
Tools and Materials
Changsha Hone Arts offers kits that contain everything you need to get started. Here's what you'll find inside a Diamond Art Club kit: canvas, adhesive, an applicator pen, tray, paddy wax, and colorful resin drills.
Diamond painting is similar to working with beads; actually it's working with drills. The drills are the formal name for the rhinestone diamonds; they're flat on one side and rounded on top.
Additional
diamond art painting accessories include a great light pad to help ease any eye strain, a great diamond organizer to store and keep track of all the colored diamonds, and some washi tape to help prevent any dust or lint from getting on the adhesive during application. Diamond painting crafters may also prefer using several stylish multi-applicator pens and an ergonomically designed area for crafting.
