3. Safety Information
Warning: This kit contains small parts which may pose a choking hazard. Not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Adult supervision is recommended during use.
- Keep diamond stones away from infants and toddlers.
- Do not ingest any components of the kit.
- Ensure a clean and well-lit workspace to prevent accidents.
- Dispose of packaging materials responsibly.
4. Setup
Before starting your diamond painting project, prepare your workspace:
- Choose a flat, clean, and well-lit surface to work on.
- Unpack all components from the kit.
- Place the diamond sorting tray on your workspace.
- Open the bags of diamond stones and pour the desired colors into the sorting tray. It is recommended to work with one color at a time to avoid mixing.
- Peel back a small section of the protective film from one of the magnet bases. Do not remove the entire film at once, as the adhesive surface can collect dust and lose stickiness.

5. Operating Instructions: Diamond Painting Process
Follow these steps to apply the diamond stones to your Stitch magnet bases:
- Prepare the Applicator Pen: Dip the tip of the applicator pen into the wax square. The wax will fill the hollow tip, allowing it to pick up the diamond stones.
- Pick Up Diamonds: Gently press the wax-filled tip of the applicator pen onto the faceted side of a diamond stone in the sorting tray. The diamond should stick to the pen.
- Apply Diamonds: Carefully place the diamond stone onto the corresponding symbol or color area on the adhesive magnet base. Press down lightly to secure it.
- Continue Painting: Repeat steps 2 and 3, working section by section. As you complete an area, slowly peel back more of the protective film.
- Complete the Design: Continue until all designated areas on the magnet base are covered with diamond stones.
- Create the Keychain: One of the magnet bases is designed to be a keychain. Once diamond painting is complete on both sides (if applicable), attach the provided keychain ring and chain through the designated hole.
- Finished Products: Once completed, the magnets can be displayed on any magnetic surface, and the keychain can be used as a decorative accessory.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean your finished diamond art pieces, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as this may damage the adhesive or cause the diamonds to lose their shine.
- Storage: Store unused diamond stones in their original bags or airtight containers to prevent dust accumulation and loss. Keep the magnet bases in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Adhesive Care: Always keep the protective film on the magnet bases when not actively applying diamonds to preserve the adhesive's stickiness.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Diamonds are not sticking to the applicator pen. | Ensure the applicator pen tip has enough wax. Press the pen firmly into the wax square before picking up diamonds. If the wax is depleted, use a fresh piece. |
| Diamonds are not sticking to the magnet base. | Ensure the protective film has been fully removed from the area you are working on. The adhesive surface might have collected dust; try gently dabbing with a clean, dry cloth (do not wipe). If the adhesive is severely compromised, it may be difficult to fix. |
| Diamonds are misaligned. | Use the flat end of the applicator pen or tweezers (not included) to gently adjust the diamond's position before the adhesive fully sets. |
| Ran out of a specific diamond color. | While kits are designed to provide sufficient diamonds, slight variations can occur. If you run critically low, consider using a similar color from another part of the design or contacting the manufacturer if possible. |
