👩🏫How does Diamond Painting work?
- Unpack the canvas carefully and make sure it is completely flat before starting, in a well-lit area.
- Peel back a small section of the protective film
- Each square on the canvas corresponds to a symbol that indicates which diamond color to use.
- Sort the diamonds according to the code shown.
- Gently shake the container so that the diamonds turn over and present their domed side upwards.
- Apply the wax to the stylus, then use it to pick up and place the diamonds on the canvas.
- Do not remove the plastic film entirely: peel it off little by little, area by area, to preserve the adhesion of the canvas.
- Lightly press down on the finished picture to secure the diamonds.
- Cut and frame your artwork to protect and display it.
