Whales in the Ocean

No art experience is needed. Start with the canvas size and diamond count to understand how much you will fill. More colors add some sorting and switching, but a small, colorful kit can still make a wonderful first project.

Choose artwork you love and a project that fits your space and the time you want to spend. Mini Dazzles™, MEGA Dazzles™, and smaller canvases are all welcoming places to begin.

Your kit’s tools and materials are listed in the kit contents section above. Check that product-specific list and the kit photo, when available, to see exactly what comes with this design.

Accessories are optional upgrades; use the kit-specific contents list above to see what is included.

Check the diamond shape in the specifications above. Round diamonds leave small spaces between them for a softly textured, sparkling finish.

Square diamonds fit snugly edge to edge, helping neighboring diamonds guide one another into alignment. Some people find that natural fit easier, with less precise positioning needed as a section fills. Both shapes are a great place to start. Choose the artwork and finish you love.

There is no single completion time that fits every painter. The number of diamonds and the canvas size matter most, while the pattern, color changes, and your pace also play a part.

Work in small sections and enjoy it over as many sessions as you like. With multi-design sets, you can complete one design at a time.

Yes. Peel back only the section of protective film you are currently working on and keep the rest of the adhesive canvas covered. When you pause, re-cover your working area and store your diamonds in their labeled baggies or storage containers. Keep the canvas flat and protected from dust, moisture, and pet hair until you are ready to continue.

Washi tape can also be used to divide the canvas into manageable sections and track your progress.

Diamond painting makes a thoughtful gift for creative hobbyists, puzzle lovers, or someone who would enjoy a relaxing activity. Choose artwork they love, then consider the canvas size and their available crafting space. A smaller project can be a lovely introduction.

Eligible canvas kits purchased through Diamond Art Club or an authorized retailer are covered by our Lifetime Warranty, including missing or incorrect diamonds, damaged toolkit accessories, adhesive issues, and qualifying canvas defects. If you notice a potential canvas defect, please contact us before beginning the kit when possible. Warranty terms apply.

Once every diamond is placed:

1. Check the canvas under a bright light for any missed spaces.
2. Gently remove dust or debris with a soft brush.
3. Use a drill art brayer or roller to press the drills firmly into place.
4. Choose how you would like to display your finished artwork.

Display options include a standard or custom frame, magnetic poster hanger, stretcher bars, mounted art canvas, or professional framing. Diamond Art Club canvases typically do not require sealing. When using a traditional frame, displaying the artwork without glass can help preserve its sparkle.
