Setup

Before beginning your diamond painting project, follow these steps to prepare your workspace and materials:

1. Unpack the Kit: Carefully remove all components from the protective packaging tube. The tube is designed to protect your kit during shipping and can be used for safe storage of unused items.

2. Prepare the Canvas: Lay the printed pattern canvas flat on a clean, stable surface. The canvas is made from durable material with double-sided lamination, which helps protect it from moisture and makes it stiffer for easier handling.

3. Organize Diamonds: Open the bags of presorted resin diamonds. Refer to the color chart and storage stickers to organize them. You may use the extra resealable bags for further organization if desired.

4. Prepare Tools: Place a small amount of the provided glue/wax into the tip of an applicator pen. This will make the pen sticky, allowing it to pick up diamonds. Have the diamond trays ready.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to create your diamond painting artwork:

1. Identify Section: Choose a small section of the canvas to work on. Peel back a small portion of the protective film from the canvas. Do not remove the entire film at once to prevent the adhesive from drying out or collecting dust.
2. Match Symbols: Identify the symbols on the exposed canvas section and locate the corresponding diamond color using your color chart.
3. Pour Diamonds: Pour a small quantity of the required diamond color into one of the diamond trays. Gently shake the tray to settle the diamonds with their flat side down.
4. Pick Up Diamond: Dip the tip of your applicator pen into the glue/wax. Then, gently press the pen tip onto the rounded, faceted side of a diamond to pick it up.
5. Place Diamond: Carefully place the diamond onto the corresponding symbol on the adhesive canvas. Ensure the diamond is seated firmly.
6. Repeat: Continue this process, working section by section, until all symbols in your chosen area are covered with diamonds.
7. Finishing Touches: Once the entire canvas is covered with diamonds, gently press down on the completed artwork with a flat object (like a book) to ensure all diamonds are securely adhered.
8. Framing (Optional): The finished artwork can be framed to display. A picture frame is not included with the kit.

Care and Maintenance

• Protect Finished Artwork: To prevent dust accumulation and maintain the sparkle, consider framing your completed diamond painting behind glass or applying a clear sealant specifically designed for diamond paintings.
• Store Unused Diamonds: Keep any remaining diamonds in their sealed bags or the provided resealable bags. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their color and integrity.
• Clean Tools: Wipe applicator pens and trays clean after use.
• Canvas Storage: If you pause your project, ensure the protective film is carefully reapplied to the canvas to keep the adhesive fresh and free from debris.

Troubleshooting

• Diamonds Not Sticking: Ensure the canvas adhesive is clean and free of dust. Re-dip the applicator pen in glue/wax if it loses its stickiness. Press diamonds firmly onto the canvas.
• Missing Diamonds: Each kit includes extra diamonds. If you find you are short on a specific color, use the provided reserve.
• Canvas Wrinkles: Gently flatten the canvas by placing it under heavy books for a few hours. Avoid creasing the adhesive area.
• Diamonds Misaligned: Use tweezers or the blunt end of the applicator pen to gently adjust misplaced diamonds before the adhesive fully sets.
