Diamond Painting for Beginners
|
Time to read 2 min
Diamond painting is one of the most relaxing crafts you can pick up, and it's perfect if you want a hobby that's satisfying without being stressful.
Using a wax applicator pen, you press tiny resin "diamonds" (also known as drills) onto a sticky, numbered canvas to create a sparkly, mosaic-style picture. There's no gluing mess, no tricky stitches to learn, and no drawing skills required — just follow the numbers and watch the design come together. It's ideal for total craft beginners, kids doing it with a parent, or anyone who finds repetitive, hands-on tasks genuinely calming.
Craft Club Diamond Painting Kits aren't only beautiful, but useful. Show your creativity in your home with the option for your diamond painting to become a photo frame or a standing mirror.

Choosing the Right Design
If you love the idea of diamond painting but aren't sure where to start, our Tiny Treasures Kit is a popular first diamond painting project, with small sections that are easy to follow. Fans of soft, homely colour palettes tend to gravitate towards our Tuscan Tiles Kit, while little ones (or the young at heart) often go straight for the Cute As Always Kit.
Once you've finished your first diamond painting kit, you might find yourself hooked on slow, mindful crafting altogether — in which case, take a look at the rest of the Craft Club's range of beginner-friendly craft kits.
Every design is sized and packaged to be completed at your own pace, whether that's an afternoon or a few weeks of evenings on the couch. No experience, no fuss — just open the box and start sparkling.
How to do diamond painting

Where to find design options
I'm not crafty. Can I still do this?
If you consider yourself not to be crafty, think of diamond painting as your gateway. Explore creativity and create an artistic piece by methodically sticking gems exactly where they're outlined to be. You might even discover that you might be crafty after all.
What are common diamond painting mistakes?
Common diamond painting mistakes include taking the entire plastic film off, not labelling or organising your gems, and using too much wax. These mistakes are avoided by doing your kit one smaller section at a time, taking the time before you start to organise your gems, and to gently fill your wax applicator.
What if I run out of gems?
Our kits are designed to include more gems than you need. In saying that, if you run out of gems, please reach out to customer support. We'll look into this and see if there are any issues on the back end, and send some replacements so that you can complete your project.
