There is beauty in art. As a human being, it’s only natural to want to create something beautiful, even if you’ve never taken up drawing, painting, or sketching at any point in your life. A great way to start is through diamond painting.
Paint By Numbers With Diamonds
What is diamond art? The easiest way to describe diamond painting is to compare it with a paint-by-numbers or cross-stitch kit, except you use diamonds, aka drills, to create your picture. These ‘diamonds’ are little rhinestones made from acrylic resin, which you glue onto the canvas to create an image. The canvas is sticky, so you don’t have to worry about messing with glue, and the gorgeous little rhinestones stick right onto it.
You Don’t Need Art Classes to Create Something Beautiful
Diamond painting lets you go through the process of creating something beautiful without worrying about how it will turn out. As you affix each drill into its correct position, you get a feeling of relaxation compared to that of drawing a mandala. You can read a guide to everything related to diamond art painting here.
Diamond painting kits are available to suit all skill levels. It’s helping kids explore their creative side. You can choose increasingly complex diamond painting kits as your skill levels increase. If you’re the kind of person who’s confident enough, you can purchase your own coloured drills to insert onto an existing diamond painting canvas.
Ideal For Gifting
Diamond art kits also make for unique gift ideas for any creative (or want-to-be creative) souls you know. Mini kits like these bookmark kits or this Unicorn Tote let you create customized gifts for your loved ones, who’ll appreciate the effort you’ve put in for them. They make for great kids’ party activities for older kids who can show off what they’ve learned when they get home.
Canadian Diamond Drills – Your One-Stop Shop for Diamond Painting
Canadian Diamond Drills is (like its name suggests) a Canadian-born business set up by Lori, who, like everyone else in Canada, was wondering how to beat the lockdown blues. After purchasing a kit from a U.S.-based supplier, Lori was hooked and needed a new kit STAT!
She was surprised to find no suppliers for diamond art kits based out of Canada, which meant long wait times and expensive shipping costs. Realizing others were in the same boat as her, Lori decided to do something about it. Roping her husband Greg into her scheme, she set off to find a reliable supplier and started selling their products via a Facebook group.
As the business grew, they set up their online store to make things easier for their burgeoning clientele. The limited stock means they have something new to offer regularly, so you never have to stem your creative juices. They also stock all the accessories you’ll need as you get more into the art form, so you don’t have to scour the internet to get what you need. Contact the Canadian Diamond Drills team if you want something specific, or look through their beautiful kits here. You’ll love their newest picks!
