How Diamond Painting Works?

Diamond painting is a great pastime that anyone can do. Just follow these steps, and you'll be on your way to relaxing with diamond painting. It’s very easy to do it. The adhesive canvas is covered with small “diamonds” that need to be placed on a corresponding box on the canvas. Each diamond corresponds to a color. And you have an image of the guide, so you will not get lost in what goes where. The diamonds are in fact colored resin, similar to glass and plastic, but much lighter and more durable than glass.

Do Diamond Painting Dry Out?

If you will peel back the entire canvas cover all at once before starting the diamond painting, doing so will expose your canvas adhesive to stuff like animal fur, dust, or dirt, resulting in diamonds not sticking properly. Areas of your canvas may also dry out before you can even get to them!

Are Diamond Painting Drills Colors Universal?

Yes, each diamond color is corresponding to a universal code called “DMC Number”. While “light green” may refer to an endless array of pink hues, DMC-3346 will always refer to the same color. DMC designs are the standard for organized projects and color consistency. The universality of the color codes allows the painters to store the diamonds and use them in the future in any other project. However, keep in mind there can a bit of difference in shades as each manufacturing company use their own designed lots and manufacturing techniques.

Can You Iron Diamond Painting Canvas?

So you’ve received your new diamond painting kit and notice some wrinkles in the canvas. While a lot of people say that using an iron with steam or water is okay, we suggest heating the iron to low heat and covering the canvas with a towel before giving it a few passes over the canvas. Just be aware that this method can impact the glue and make it less effective at keeping drills in place. Also, do not try to iron the canvas if you have already applied the Diamond drills to the canvas, always iron before applying the diamonds. However, you will not face the issue of wrinkles with our diamond painting canvases. As we at All Diamond Painting Art prepare high quality canvases with super protective packaging.

What is better round or square diamond painting?

 

What are the differences between the round and square drill kit options? This is a question that comes up with beginner diamond painters. The most obvious difference is simply the shape of the drill. In painting with diamonds it's all about personal preference. Some say a square drill helps the painting to look more like the original image, as the square diamond drills do not leave any gaps in between. However, they are considered to be a bit difficult to do as compared to round diamonds. While others prefer the smoother look and feel of a round diamond, as the round diamonds are much easier to do. But do not give as much clean results as square diamonds, because they leave gaps between them due to their shape. But if you are using a high quality printed canvas like All Diamond Painting Art, then the round diamonds will also give you the desired results you are looking for.
