Whether you’re a diamond painting enthusiast or just getting started, it’s important to understand the essential tools that will help you enjoy this craft to the fullest. Here’s a quick and easy guide to the must-have items for your project.
1. Pre-printed adhesive canvas
The canvas is the foundation of every diamond painting project. It’s covered with an adhesive layer to help you place the diamonds. The pre-printed designs will guide you in placing each color in the right spot.
At Diamood we use eco-friendly pourable glue for the adhesive. In addition, our designs always have a definition and colors that adapt to the illustration.
2. Diamonds or drills
Diamonds are the small, shiny resin pieces that come in different colors. They are available in round or square shapes, and you can choose various sizes depending on the level of detail you want in your artwork.
At Diamood we use eco-friendly resin diamonds, and we have aurora borealis, crystal, jelly, glow-in-the-dark and even metallic diamonds.
3. Diamond pen applicator
The diamond painting pen is essential for picking up diamonds and placing them precisely on the canvas. Some pens allow you to place multiple diamonds at once, speeding up the process.
With our tool kit you will have a pen that allows you to place diamonds 1 by 1, 3 by 3, or even 7 by 7!
4. Wax or putty
You’ll need wax or putty for the pen to pick up diamonds. A small amount is enough to work comfortably.
5. Sorting trays
Trays are great for lining up your diamonds so you can pick them up with your pen. They usually have raised edges so the diamonds don't fall out, making it easier to pick them up with your pen.
6. Additional accessories
For more advanced users, there are extra accessories like LED lights to illuminate the canvas, diamond organizers, and canvas stands to help you work more comfortably and efficiently.
Conclusion
With these tools, you’ll be ready to enjoy hours of relaxation and creativity. Remember, at Diamood, you can find everything you need to complete your diamond painting kit and enhance your crafting experience.
Our kits come with all the basic accessories, and we include free washi tape, zip bags, wax paper, a cover minder and metal tweezers.
