Diamond painting, also called diamond art, is a relaxing creative activity that involves sticking small colored diamonds onto a canvas to gradually reveal an image.
Accessible to everyone, even without experience, diamond painting is today one of the most popular creative hobbies for relaxing, taking time for oneself, and disconnecting from daily life.
How does diamond painting work?
The principle is simple.
Each kit contains an adhesive canvas printed with a design.
On this canvas, symbols indicate where to place each diamond.

Then, simply place the diamonds one by one or place several at a time using the multi-diamond tips, following the pattern, until the image gradually appears.
Just follow the guide and go at your own pace.
An ideal activity for relaxation
Diamond painting is often appreciated for its repetitive and soothing nature.
Placing the diamonds requires concentration, but without stress.
You can do it for a few minutes or several hours, as you wish.
Many people practice diamond painting to:
- relax after a day's work
- reduce stress
- spend some quiet time
- do a screen-free activity
- take time for themselves
It's a simple, yet very satisfying activity.

Round diamonds or square diamonds?
In diamond painting, there are two types of diamonds:
- round diamonds
- square diamonds
Square diamonds allow for a more precise and detailed rendering because they align perfectly without leaving any gaps.
That's why, at Ma Ville en Diamant, we have chosen to work only with square diamonds, in order to achieve a sharper and more faithful result to the illustrations.
