How To Diamond Paint
PART 1 - Setting Up the Canvas
- Purchase a diamond painting kit at our online store here.
- Understand
how to read the canvas. The canvas is composed of tiny boxes that are
colored and labeled with numbers, much like a cross-stitch canvas. Each
number corresponds to a diamond color. The numbers are written on a
chart, with the corresponding bag and diamond color written below or
next to it. The chart is typically printed on the side of the canvas.
Some squares may contain a letter or symbol instead; treat this as a
number.
- Unroll
the canvas and tape it down onto a flat surface. If the canvas won't
lay flat, roll it back the other way, then unroll it. Spread it down
onto a flat surface, then secure the edges with masking tape. This
project can be time consuming. Consider taping the canvas to a board,
which you can move out of the way easily.
- Peel
back part of the plastic covering on the canvas. Do not peel all of the
plastic away; 1 to 2 inches(2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) will be plenty.
Run your fingernail along the plastic to crease it so that it doesn't
roll forwards. Some kits come with pre-cut plastic strips. In this case,
simply peel the first strip off.
Pour out your first crystal color into the tray. Take a look at the patch of canvas you just exposed. Choose a box to start with, and note the number in it. Look the number up on the chart, then find the bag with the same number. Open up the bag, and pour out some of the crystals onto the tray that came with your kit. Some kits come with multiple trays. You can use the other trays for the other colors in that section.
Part 2 - Applying the Diamonds
- Dip
your pen tool into the gel or wax that came with your kit. Open up the
packet of gel that came with your kit. Dip the narrow end of the pen
into the gel/wax to pick some up. This will make it possible for the pen
to pick up the crystals.
- Use
the pen to pick up a crystal. Gently press the tip of the pen against
the top, faceted part of the crystal. Lift the pen away from the tray;
the crystal should be stuck to it. Keep the tray just below the edge of
your canvas; this will make it easier to access.
- Gently
press the crystal against the corresponding square. Pull the pen away;
the crystal should be stick against the canvas. If you are just starting
out, it might be a good idea to press lightly at first. This way, if
the crystal is off-set, you can nudge it back into place, then press
down on it to secure it. This is exactly like painting by number, except
that you are using crystals instead.
- Fill
the rest of the squares in that section. Work one color at a time and
refill the pen with gel as needed. When you finish filling in all the
squares with the same number code, move onto the next color. This will
help you work faster and stay organized. Avoid resting your hand against
the canvas; the more you touch the sticky surface, the less tacky it
will become.
Peel away more of the plastic covering, and fill in more squares. Continue filling the canvas in using the same technique as before. Work in 1 to 2-inch (2.54 to 5.08-centimeter) wide sections, one color at a time. When you completely fill in a section, move onto the next one. Do not peel the entire plastic covering away, or the adhesive on the canvas will get dirty and lose its tack.
Part 3 - Finishing Your Work
- Cover
the canvas with the plastic sheet that it came with. If you discarded
the sheet, you can cover it with a piece of paper or parchment paper;
avoid using wax paper.
- Go
over the canvas with a rolling pin. This will press down any loose
diamonds and secure them. If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a
can or jar instead. You can also gently rub the canvas with your hands
instead.
- Stack
some heavy books on top of the canvas overnight. This will help further
adhere the diamonds to the canvas and ensure that they bond properly.
If you don't have any books large enough to cover the canvas, you can
use another flat, heavy object, such as a box or cutting board.
- Peel
the tape away. Lift the books off first, then peel the plastic covering
off. Peel the tape from the corners of the canvas. Do not trim the
excess canvas way, as this may cause the fabric to fray.
- Frame
the canvas. Remove the glass from the frame first, then insert the
canvas into the frame. Fold the excess edges down, then place the
backing into place. Leave the glass out, as it will only dull down the
diamonds' sparkle. For a fancier touch, place the canvas behind a mat
first; this will give the canvas an additional border within the frame.
Choose a color that complements the diamonds.
