What Is Diamond Art Painting

Discover the Craft That Turns Sparkles Into Stunning Works of Art

Diamond Art Painting (also known as diamond painting) is a relaxing, creative craft where you place tiny, faceted “diamonds” onto a coded canvas to form a vibrant, shimmering picture. Think of it as a mix between painting by numbers, cross-stitch, and mosaic art — but with a dazzling twist.

The result ?

A radiant masterpiece filled with depth, texture, and light.
