Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is included in a kit?

Every kit contains the printed adhesive canvas, the diamonds sorted by colour, a pen applicator, wax and a tray to begin. Larger designs simply include more diamonds. New to the craft? Read How Diamond Painting Works.

Round or square diamonds?

Round diamonds place a little faster and give a soft finish. Square diamonds sit edge to edge for a crisper, fuller look. Both are offered on most designs.

What size should I choose?

Larger canvases hold more detail, which matters most for faces. See our Size Guide for a full breakdown.

Which format should I choose?

Kits come as rolled canvas, stretched canvas, a canvas and frame kit or a rigid board. Our format guide explains the difference.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. There is no skill to learn, and every kit includes clear guidance. Choose a smaller size for a first project, or start with our Beginner Kits.

Can I make one from my own photo?

Yes. Our Custom Atelier turns your photograph into a bespoke kit, prepared by hand.

What if a few diamonds run short?

Kits include a small surplus of each colour. If you do run short, contact us and we will put it right.

How do I look after a finished piece?

Keep it out of direct sunlight. A sealer can be applied to lock the diamonds in place before framing. You will find tools and finishing pieces in Studio and Framing.
