Diamond painting is a simple and addictive hobby that has taken the crafting world by storm. Creating a sparkling masterpiece is as easy as affixing vibrantly colored resin rhinestones to a self-adhesive canvas with a diamond art kit. The canvas is printed with the design as well as symbols to let you know exactly which color to place in each spot.
A relatively new art form to the craft industry, diamond art has rapidly become a favorite among beginner and experienced hobbyists alike. It does not require any special skills, and anyone can make beautiful diamond artworks that shimmer, sparkle and shine when they paint with diamonds.

Read Our Step-By-Step Instructions for Diamond Painting
Each Diamond Art Club® kit comes fully stocked with everything you need to complete a diamond painting. The diamond art supplies included in our kits are of the highest quality, too. Our products are designed to make painting with diamonds easy, enjoyable and frustration-free for crafters of all ages and skill levels. Each of our kits includes:
Our canvases are buttery smooth and feature high-quality poured glue instead of the double-sided adhesive tape used by many of our competitors. Using high-tech poured glue adhesive results in better adhesion and ensures the diamonds will not fall off the canvas.
Diamond Art Club® canvases have also been carefully designed to prevent wrinkling and fraying. Our proprietary, patented canvas is made from heavy-duty, waterproof tarpaulin fabric and features a velvet backing for extra strength and stability. A surface coating makes each canvas smooth to the touch and allows for quality printing. Each canvas is also manufactured with serged edge to avoid fraying and is guaranteed to self-flatten within minutes. Sometimes, using an LED light pad makes it easier to work, especially in darker craft areas. The light shines through the canvas and you can see where to place the drills more clearly.
Also known as drills, the diamonds used in diamond art are not all created equally. There are a few different types on the market, and they can be made from either resin or cheap acrylic.
All of our drills are made from high-quality 100% resin to ensure exceptional color and durability so they don’t break or crack. Our round drills are manufactured with 20 facets instead of the industry-standard 13 facets. This means they have 50% more sparkle and are more reflective than the acrylic gems found in other kits. Our square drills are manufactured so they fit snug and tight giving you the best “snap” as you create your beautiful mosaic.
Nothing is worse than deciding to try out a new hobby only to realize you do not have the supplies you need. That’s why we include an applicator tool - or diamond painting pen - comfort grip, tray, wax and extra baggies with every Diamond Art Club® kit! We also include a set of tweezers in all of our square diamond kits to help you with placement. So as soon as you open up the box, you will have everything you need to create your first masterpiece.
We want diamond art painting to be an easy and accessible hobby for crafters of all skill levels. That is why every kit includes easy-to-understand instructions, a color-coded chart to help you visualize where each color should be placed on the canvas, and pre-labeled, pre-cut inventory stickers for easier organization.
When ordering, simply choose the artwork you love. Our designers have already chartered it to the best canvas size and diamond shape so the diamond painting matches the artist’s original artwork as much as possible. Once we receive your order, we ship all the materials you need for your next masterpiece—directly to your doorstep.

When browsing through our selection of diamond art kits, you will notice that some kits come with round diamonds while others include square diamonds. Both are of excellent quality, so when it comes down to which one you should choose, it depends on personal preference.
Kits containing round diamonds, or round drills, are easier and faster to complete. Diamond Art Club® manufactures its round drills with 20 facets for double the sparkle. They are great for beginners since there is no need to worry about properly orienting each diamond. An important thing to note, however, is that with round diamonds, you will be able to see the colors of the canvas between the diamonds on the finished piece. Many of our painters love this look, but you should be aware of this when deciding which diamond shape to work with.
Square diamonds, or square drills, take a bit longer to place, and you need to take extra care to ensure that each one is placed straight. A single crooked square diamond could throw an entire row off skew! This is why Diamond Art Club® includes a set of tweezers in each of its square kits. When properly placed, they fit together edge-to-edge and create a satisfying “snap” sound when you’re close to finished and only need to fill in gaps. Since no canvas shows through on finished pieces, artwork created with square diamonds has a complete mosaic look.
Some of our kits include premium Aurora Borealis, or AB, diamonds. These iridescent diamonds have a special coating that simulates the colors of the Northern Lights. They are even more shimmering, ethereal and beautiful than our normal diamonds, and they are included in most Diamond Art Club® kits as accents. Our AB diamonds create a glowing effect across the finished painting and must be seen in person to be truly appreciated!
How To Choose Between Round And Square Drills: Everything You Need to Know
As noted previously, drills are the resin beads used to complete diamond paintings. When shopping for kits, you’ll notice that some come with full drill canvases while others include partial drill canvases.
Full drill canvases are completely covered in diamonds when finished. Partial drill canvases, on the other hand, are only partially covered in diamonds. Partial drills are designed to make certain parts of the image pop, while full drills create an overall mosaic effect.
Partial drills are an excellent choice for beginners because they take less time to complete. When it comes to which type of canvas is better, though, it is a matter of personal choice. As a diamond art beginner, we encourage you to try both types to see which one you like best.
Full Drill vs. Partial Drill: What's the Difference?
Once you have mastered the basic techniques and have become a diamond painter, there are several things you can do to take your first diamond painting to the next level and finish projects faster. Here are a few helpful suggestions:
Up Your Art Game with These Diamond Painting Tricks
Once you have completed your masterpiece, it’s time to show it off! And one of the best ways to do that is by framing it. Framing diamond artwork is easy and is the perfect finishing touch for your creation.
There are a few different options for framing diamond art. The easiest is using a standard store-bought frame with the glass removed. You can also frame your artwork with stretcher bars, attach it to an art canvas or have it professionally framed.
Whichever option you choose, framing is the best way to prepare your masterpiece for display in your home or office. Adding a nice frame is perfect when you plan on giving a completed piece of diamond art as a gift, too!
