So I relax in drawing, painting and creativity

I became obsessed with diamond painting. I've only made a few so far, but I love the process. It relaxes me and I really enjoy doing them while listening to the e-tutorials. I can't just sit in front of a computer. I have to keep my hands busy too. They don't distract me from what I'm hearing, and I often end a section before I even realize it. It's the same with TV, I can't just sit there, so I work on my diamond paintings. This diamond painting comes in a plastic box with a clear window to see the canvas. All information is printed in English on the packaging. Basic instructions are on the back. It's 16 x 20 inches so it's going to take a while. This is a full drill, which means the entire picture requires diamonds. It has round drills so part of the background shows through. It has 26 different colors. The film covering the adhesive is transparent. The glue is very strong, so you can't move the diamonds much after placing them. You have to use tweezers to pick it up and move it around. There is a grid that states the code and number of the DMC. This set includes 2 green diamond trays, a pair of tweezers, 2 pieces of pen glue and a pen that includes both single and 6 pieces. until the end. Diamonds are supplied individually wrapped however all diamond wrappers are attached to each other in a row. There is only a DMC number on the packaging. The diamonds are pretty clean but there are some changes in the manufacturing process so I can find a green diamond among the yellow ones. I don't really care and it's easy to fix when I come across them. I am very satisfied with this diamond painting. The colors look good, the glue is great, the diamonds are evenly shaped and I enjoyed doing it. I will say that this is not a multi pen that you will use often. I have a 3 diamond tip which I have used a lot for this but the 6 end has hardly been used so I think this set should contain 3 pieces not 6. If you are new to diamond painting and think that it will be a good hobby I highly recommend you get some diamond storage boxes and keep them organized. I use unmarked pill boxes and put little stickers on them with a number, letter, or symbol on them so they're easy to find. Some people go the extra mile and have organizers for their unused diamonds so they can have them in case another picture is missing those diamonds or send them to someone who is missing those diamonds. I just keep leftovers in little ziplock bags. When I receive a new diamond painting, the first thing I do is open it, turn the lid halfway up and put it back. Then I repeat the process on the other side. This will help him lay flat. Also, I can use this time to find possible bubbles in the glue and cut it clean with a razor. Some bubbles may cause diamonds not to lay flat. Then I take the washi tape and cover the edges of the image up to the line where the image started. The adhesive protrudes a little beyond the image and dirt can stick to it, especially lint from long-sleeved shirts. The longer you paint a picture, the more likely it is to get dirty.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
