Learning to create diamond embroidery The one whoever seen diamond embroidery, also called diamond painting or mosaic, he certainly admired its unique attractive appearance. In fact, it is not difficult to create such a product yourself if you have the appropriate diamond painting kits on hand. To create your first diamond mosaic masterpiece, we offer a set called “Swimming”, which when finished will be approximately 20 x 20 centimeters. The kit should include the following elements:

key-scheme (canvas with a coated adhesive material), which will be the basis of our product;
Rhinestones;
sorting object for rhinestones;
tweezers;
instruction and key.

Before starting needlework, we recommend preparingGive yourself a spacious workplace, lay out all the materials and tools on it, and it is advisable to arrange the numbered packages of rhinestones in ascending order to make it easier to find the required color in the future. Carefully peel off the film protecting the adhesive coating, but do not try to remove it entirely, just gradually bend it back. In addition to the fact that this will protect the canvas from dirt and dust, your hands will not once again get dirty with sticky glue. The set offered to your attention comes with an already cut protective film. However, it should be taken into account that other sets may not have this, so you will have to cut the protective film yourself. Symbols are printed on the canvas diagram and key,which are also duplicated on bags with rhinestones. We select a symbol, find the required package and pour the required number of rhinestones into the sorting object, using the side with large grooves. If the set does not include a rhinestone sorter, a special tray replaces it.Thanks to the sorter, you can easily installRhinestones face up, for which it is enough to lightly shake it from one side to the other. Next, we begin to lay out the rhinestones. The layout is made on the squares with the necessary symbols with the flat side and pressed down a little. Don't worry if during the unfolding process you slightly miss the cage. You will need to take the rhinestone using tweezers and transfer it to the correct cell. When you have finished laying out crystals of a certain shade in a small area, pour the unused rhinestones into a bag and move on to laying out a different shade. Of course, you can lay out the diamond mosaic in rows, which, in our opinion, is not the best way, since the shades of the crystals constantly change in the rows. It is more optimal to display rhinestones according to color.Laying crystals in free cells aroundwhich already have rhinestones, you should press them lightly until a slight click occurs (which occurs due to their tight fit with each other), after which the crystal will fall into place. In this case, the remaining rhinestones are simultaneously aligned. If you need to stop during work, be sure to return the protective film to its place. Once you have finished placing crystals in one area, slightly bend the film away from the canvas and continue to the next area. Once you are carried away by this process, you will not even notice that in a short period of time half of the product will be ready. Next, slightly bend the next part of the protective coating and continue laying out the diamond mosaic. It is worth noting that kit manufacturers usuallythey put crystals in them with a reserve (albeit small). So, if sometimes during the laying out process you encounter some defective crystals, they can be put aside, but you shouldn’t throw them away completely either. While the unfolding of the diamond mosaic is nearing completion, it is possible to completely remove the protective film and apply the finishing touches. At the last stage, we align the edges of the product and attach the crystals more tightly, for which we use a rolling pin, glass bottle or ruler, placing a piece of soft fabric under the picture.Of course, the created masterpiece requires framing in an equally beautiful frame, after which it can be hung on the wall or gifted to a loved one.
