Diamond Painting: Step-by-Step Instructions for a Sparkling Masterpiece


Our Story: A Sparkling Journey Begins with You!

 

Hey friend! Welcome to the world of diamond painting! We’re so glad you’re here. As two sisters who fell in love with this hobby ourselves, we know how amazing it is to find a creative outlet that’s both relaxing and fun. We designed this guide for you, to make your first experience a worry-free journey from the very first drill to the final, sparkling masterpiece. So let’s get started, shall we?


Step 1: Your Magical Tool Kit

 

Your journey to a beautiful masterpiece starts with getting organized! Our beginner-friendly diamond painting kits are designed to be your all-in-one magical toolbox. In your kit, you'll find our signature velvet canvas, known for its buttery-soft feel and wrinkle-free design. You’ll also find our unique poured glue adhesive that guarantees a strong, long-lasting stick. Gather your diamond painting pen, wax pad, and sorting tray, and you’re ready for the magic to begin!

 

Step 2: Set Up Your Sparkling Studio

 

Find a clean, flat, and well-lit space. We sisters love working by a window with some music playing! Unroll your canvas and place it on your work surface. Our velvet canvas lays beautifully flat, making this step a breeze. If you're working on a larger canvas, you can weigh down the edges with a few books to get it perfectly smooth. Now, you’re ready to dive into the details!

 

Step 3: Unlocking the Canvas Code

 

Before you start, take a look at the legend on the side of your canvas. It shows a series of symbols and corresponding DMC color codes. Find the diamonds that match the symbol you want to start with. Pour a few of those 5D resin diamonds into your tray and give it a gentle shake to help them settle. Our diamonds are so vibrant, you’ll be excited to see the colors! Remember: only peel back a small section of the protective film at a time to keep your poured glue adhesive fresh and clean.

 

Step 4: Place Your First Diamond… And Find Your Surprise!

 

Now for the best part! Dip the tip of your diamond painting pen into the wax pad, then pick up a diamond from the tray. Place the diamond gently onto the corresponding symbol on your canvas. Listen for that satisfying little "click" as it settles into place! As you fill in the design, remember that every one of our kits also includes a special surprise: a Fairy Dust Diamonds blind box! When you’re ready to add an extra layer of sparkle and magic, you can use these exclusive glitter drills to make your masterpiece truly unique.

 

Step 5: Finishing Touches and Sharing

 

Congratulations! Once your canvas is filled with every sparkling diamond, use a rolling pin or a heavy book to gently press down on the entire surface. This ensures all your diamonds are firmly in place. Now, it’s time to show it off! Don’t forget to take a photo of your beautiful work and share it on our social media with the hashtag #DiamondPaintingStudio. We can't wait to celebrate your masterpiece with you. Your sparkling journey is only just beginning!
