Learn Diamond Painting to Transform Your World with Colorful Art

Chances are, if you love arts and crafts, you’ve probably heard about the latest trend taking the DIY world by storm: diamond painting kits. But what exactly are they? Why are hobbyists everywhere flocking to diamond painting art? Learn diamond painting basics, and let’s discuss diamond painting kits and the diamond painting framing options available.

Diamond painting is a rewarding and calming hobby that uses a diamond painting pen, or applicator, to apply small, faceted resin rhinestones to a color-coded grid. These rhinestones, often called drills, are embellished one-by-one to a self-adhesive canvas through a process that is a combination of paint-by-numbers and cross-stitch patterns. The result? A beautiful, shimmering mosaic artwork.

A diamond painting kit is a set that includes some essentials to create your diamond painting artwork. Many diamond painting kits include a pre-printed canvas or grid, square diamonds or round diamonds, tray, applicator, grip, tweezers, and wax. The diamond painting slates and tiles at Rocky Heights Shop will only come with a slate or tile of your choosing with a pre-printed grid. The other tools listed here are not included and will need to be purchased separately.

A diamond painting slate or tile serves as an excellent alternative to framing your finished diamond painting. The end result is sleek, durable, and long-lasting — and guarantees your diamond art will be displayed elegantly for a long time to come.
