How to Select a Size?

Shimmer Stitch provides various kit sizes. Bear in mind, go BIGGER for additional information and more colours used in the painting. The three chief dimensions we propose for simple framing (these are standard dimensions for USA frames) are displayed below.

How to Start a Diamond Painting?

As soon as your kit arrives, you'll discover ALL the necessary supplies needed to finish your part of art. You can place a few heavy books on top to flatten it out, if your canvas has some creases in it from shipping.

All the coloured diamonds are in separate bags which are labeled with a number. That number corresponds to a symbol on the picture. This symbol is published on either the canvas and the inventory sheet that comes with your kit. Set them where it tells you to and you will need to coincide with the colour of diamonds. *If you are missing any diamond drills, then please email [email protected] for replacements. https://colorelaxation.com/collections/diamonds-animals" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Visit Website for more details.

To begin working, peel back a small section of the plastic covering to work on at one time. Don't remove or you will discover that things start to stick into the canvas and it'll get dirty. I like to operate on a section at a time, 1 color at at time. Don't forget to maintain the canvas covered when you aren't currently working on it so it remains sticky and clean.

Pour a small number of diamonds from the menu that is supplied. If you gently shake it back and on and hold it the diamonds will settle right side up so they are facing the correct way to select them up with the pencil and place them.

The pink rectangle that comes with your kit is your wax. Peel back the plastic on the wax and then push the end of the pencil into it to fill it with wax. Now you can pick the diamonds up easily since they will follow the pencil.

When the pencil seems like it does not pick up the diamonds nicely anymore, just add a tiny bit wax. If you prefer, you can catch some tack reusable adhesive putty should you not like the wax.

There is a set of tweezers included in your kit too. Some prefer to use this to put diamonds instead of the pen. It's up to you how you want to utilize them although I prefer to use it in order to pick up diamonds that are misplaced.

Continue your https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTZR7aYOga8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">diamond painting, a small section at a time, until it is complete. Depending on which hand is your hand, you might prefer to start at a different side. Learn that facet is most easy to begin with and what feels best to you. (I'm right handed so I would rather start at the top left corner.)

As soon as your painting is done, you may cut off the excess canvas or pay it using washi tape. Leave the painting with a few heavy books on top to help the diamonds put in place securely. It's ready to be framed!

I like to store my any remaining drills in a bag or container with an DMC number on it if I need it for future paintings.

It is always a fantastic idea to seal your painting with Mod Podge once it is complete and before it's framed. Mod Podge dries clear and will seal your diamonds in place well. There is a spray variant of it which works well. A thin coating is necessary.
