What is a diamond painting?
Diamond painting is a new craft hobby that combines digital painting and cross stitch. With Diamond Painting, you can create sparkling diamond art by applying thousands of tiny resin "diamonds" to a coded sticky canvas.

Diamond Painting was introduced to North America and Europe in 2017 by artpaintingworld. Since then, millions of artisans around the world have discovered the joys and stress-relieving benefits of diamond painting.

Step 4: Apply wax to the Diamond Pen tip.
Peel off the plastic film from the pink wax pad and apply a small amount of wax to the tip of the diamond pen. The action of the wax is combined with electrostatic adsorption, almost like a diamond magnet.

Step 5: Place each diamond in the corresponding square on the canvas
Each colored diamond corresponds to a specific symbol or character on the canvas. Check the legend on the side of the canvas to find the symbol for each color. Colors are represented using DMC threads. Peel off a small portion of the protective film and start painting. Do not remove this plastic wrap all at once.
