Diamond painting is an activity that has quickly gained attention and has become a new hobby for all ages. This interesting activity originated in Asia and later became popular all over the world. Diamond painting is simple and easy to learn, very suitable for stress relief. It's fun and relaxing. As the name suggests, this is not an activity involving the use of actual diamonds, but rather the use of beads or rhinestones pasted onto the canvas. It is based on the concept of creating paintings, similar to digital paintings. When doing diamond painting, you use small diamond-like beads and place them on the entire image on the printed sticky canvas. The result is an artistic finished product.

 

 

 

5D diamond painting uses high-end technology to decompose the image into patterns and design them on the canvas. This process is not as complicated as it sounds. This is a simple process that involves using certain tools and materials to make your masterpiece. This newly discovered art activity is very suitable for anyone who loves arts and crafts, regardless of their age, because it is very easy to learn. However, we will talk about it later. First of all, let us first understand the concept of diamond painting, and then in-depth study. Everydayedeals has three main types of diamond paintings for you to choose from, square diamonds, round diamonds and crystal diamonds.

 

 

 

                                                                                          

 

 

Rhinestones are often called diamonds or drill bits, and are color-coded to match a specific color or shape on the canvas. There are many cut faces on the front of the diamond, which are very shiny under the light. The back of the diamonds is flat, so they can be easily glued to the canvas. Square diamonds tend to fit more closely together, but they are sometimes more difficult to use than round diamonds.

Each diamond painting kit comes with various tools for completing the painting. These tools include trays (used to organize the drill bits), pen tools or applicators, bags for storing the drill bits, and wax pads (used as chewing gum for fixing the drill bits to the pen).

Before starting the process, you can first view the color chart and legend of the canvas and check your tool list. This will help you quickly identify the colors and make sure you have everything set up and ready.

When you receive the kit, your canvas will be covered by a transparent protective film. It is recommended that you peel off a small part of the film, otherwise it may ruin your design, because the stickiness of the canvas will attract dust and dirt. It is recommended to start from the bottom of the design and work up the canvas, or in the way that suits you best.

The following is a list of steps you can refer to:
1. Dip the top of the applicator in the wax so you can pick up the diamond.
2. After completing your legend, press the tip of the applicator tool on the round side of the stone.
3. Pull the plastic film away from the area where you plan to work, and then carefully press the diamond shape onto the design.
4. Repeat this operation until your design is complete. After the last step is completed, pull the protective film to the top of the design and use books or weights to fix the rhinestones in place.
