Here’s a brief overview of diamond painting. Unfortunately, this isn’t a tutorial. It’s just a general idea of how it works. There’s oodles of videos and tutorials that better explain the step-by-step process.

Diamond painting is a bit like cross-stitch or paint-by-numbers, except you use resin disks, referred to as diamonds, to fill in the picture instead of floss or paint.

Each color area has a designated character, number or letter. The canvas has adhesive in the working picture depending on if it a partial drill or a full drill. This is a partial drill picture, only the flowers and watering can is to be covered. Other pictures are full drills meaning the entire canvas is to be cover.

I use a pencil shaped applicator that uses a bit of waxy stuff to pick up colorful resin diamonds to apply to the canvas.

If you want a relaxing activity to work on at your own pace and create a fun or pretty piece of artwork. Diamond painting might be for you.
We have found it a bit addictive and always have several kits on hand to feed our diamond painting habit. lol

I hope this brief overview helps explain diamond painting fair enough to give a basic idea of how it’s done.
If you any any questions I’ll try to answer them.

Happy crafting!
