Q: What is the wax for in Diamond Painting?
A: The wax is a tool with which you can easily pick up the stones with a pen and place them on the canvas. To do this, you first have to remove the protective film from the wax and then you can poke the pen firmly into the wax once. This will cause a small amount of wax to get into the hollow space of the metal tip, so that the stones stick there. Now you just have to tap a stone with the tip of the pen and it will stick there until you have placed it in the right place on your canvas. If you notice that the stones no longer stick so well to the tip of the pen, you can carefully remove the old wax (e.g. with pointed tweezers) and then press the tip of the pen into the wax plate again. To ensure that you never run out of Diamond Painting wax, you can also keep a reserve supply. You can find different types of wax in our Diamond Painting accessories shop.
Q: How do the Diamond Painting stones stick to the canvas?
A: In order to create Diamond Paintings in a very simple and uncomplicated way, the stones do not have to be individually provided with an adhesive in order to adhere to the canvas. This is because the canvas of a Diamond Painting has a transparent adhesive layer so that the stones can simply be picked up with a pen and placed on the canvas in the appropriate position. The pen for placing the stones is filled with a little wax at the tip. Individual stones can then be picked up effortlessly and placed in their place.
Q: Which is the best diamond painting?
A: The best Diamond Painting is always the one with the motif you like best. And since the most beautiful motif is always a matter of taste, we have many different motifs in our Diamond Painting Shop so that there is something for every taste. In addition to the motif, the quality is of course also decisive, because the most beautiful motif is no fun if the canvas doesn’t stick properly, the stones are unevenly shaped or the print and thus the symbols are blurred.
Q: What do you do with the remaining stones from Diamond Painting?

Another option is to use them as part of another art project, such as mosaic work or as an embellishment on a picture frame or box.

Q: can you iron diamond painting canvas?
A: So you’ve received your new diamond painting kit and notice some wrinkles in the canvas. While a lot of people say that using an iron with steam or water is okay, we suggest heating the iron to low heat and covering the canvas with a towel before giving it a few passes over the canvas. Just be aware that this method can impact the glue and make it less effective at keeping drills in place. Also, do not try to iron the canvas if you have already applied the Diamond drills to the canvas, always iron before applying the diamonds.

Q: What is better round or square diamond painting?
A: What are the differences between the round and square drill kit options? This is a question that comes up with beginner diamond painters. The most obvious difference is simply the shape of the drill. In painting with diamonds it's all about personal preference. Some say a square drill helps the painting to look more like the original image, as the square diamond drills do not leave any gaps in between. However, they are considered to be a bit difficult to do as compared to round diamonds. While others prefer the smoother look and feel of a round diamond, as the round diamonds are much easier to do. But do not give as much clean results as square diamonds, because they leave gaps between them due to their shape. But if you are using a high quality printed canvas like All Diamond Painting, then the round diamonds will also give you the desired results you are looking for.
