    A beginner's guide to diamond painting with easy step-by-step instructions

    Diamond painting is similar to painting by number, except that instead of using paint, you are using tiny, flat-backed rhinestones, crystals, or faceted resin diamonds. You can purchase diamond painting kits online and in some well-stocked arts and crafts stores. The process can look intimidating, but it is actually quite simple. Once you know what to do, you can find the project both relaxing and rewarding.

    Tape your canvas to a flat surface and peel off about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) of the plastic covering.

    Dip your applicator tool in the gel or wax, touch it to a diamond, then stick the diamond to the corresponding spot on the canvas.

    Continue the process until you've completed the painting, removing the plastic covering section by section as you go.

    Cover the canvas with the provided plastic sheet and go over it with a rolling pin to secure all of the diamonds. Peel the plastic away the next morning.

    Purchase a diamond painting kit.

    You can find these online although some well-stocked craft stores may also carry them. Each brand will be a little different, but most kits will contain the following: a pre-printed canvas, flat-backed diamonds also known as drills, a tray, a pen-like tool, and a packet of gel or wax.

    Understand how to read the canvas.

    The canvas is composed of tiny boxes that are colored and labeled with numbers, letters and/or symbols, much like a cross-stitch canvas. Each symbol corresponds to a diamond color. The symbols are written on a chart, with the corresponding bag and drill color written below or next to it. The chart is typically printed on the side of the canvas.

    Unroll the canvas and tape it down onto a flat surface.

    If the canvas won't lay flat, roll it back the other way, then unroll it. Spread it down onto a flat surface, then secure the edges with masking tape.

    Dip your pen tool into the gel or wax that came with your kit.

    Open up the packet of gel/wax that came with your kit and dip the metal end of the pen into the gel/wax to pick some up. This will make it possible for the pen to pick up the drills.

    Some kits come with a special wax pencil that you have to sharpen instead. In this case, sharpen the pencil using a pencil sharpener.

    Some pens will have a wide end too, which you can use to pick up to three drills at one time. This will also need to be dipped in the gel/wax first.

    Use the pen to pick up a diamond.

    Gently press the tip of the pen against the top, faceted part of the drill. Lift the pen away from the tray; the drill should be stuck to it.

    Keep the tray just below the edge of your canvas; this will make it easier to access.

    Gently press the drill onto the corresponding square.

    Cover the canvas with the plastic sheet that it came with.

    If you discarded the sheet, you can cover it with a piece of parchment paper; avoid using any kind of paper especially wax paper on the open canvas.

    Go over the canvas with a rolling pin.

    This will press down any loose diamonds and secure them.

    If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a can or jar instead. You can also gently rub the canvas with your hands instead.

    Stack some heavy books on top of the canvas overnight.

    This will help further adhere the diamonds to the canvas and ensure that they bond properly. If you don't have any books large enough to cover the canvas, you can use another flat, heavy object, such as a box or cutting board.

    Lift the books off first, then peel the plastic covering off. Peel the tape from the corners of the canvas.
