Great First Purchase
Purchased my first Diamond Art Club piece. I am very impressed by the packaging and quality of the kit. It is far superior to the other well-known kits I’ve used in the past. Definitely a beautiful art piece for my home. I will be back for more.

This is by far my favorite DAC that I have purchased. I love this one. I stayed up till wee hours of the morning to get this one done. I am going to have this one framed to hang in my family room. The colors are beautiful. Thanks for adding this one to your wonderful collection DAC.

How to use
This meditative craft involves placing hundreds of sparkling resin rhinestones, one-by-one, on an adhesive color-coded canvas to create a vivid, shimmering work of art.
Step 1
Dip the tip of the applicator tool into the strip of wax
Step 2
Pick up each diamond by pressing the applicator to the diamond’s rounded, faceted side
Step 3
Apply each diamond to the adhesive canvas template, placing it based on the color-coded chart
Diamond Art Club
VS.
The Competition
Snug, Sparkly Diamonds
Diamond Art Club™ manufactures the highest quality diamonds using 100% epoxy resin that are true to the original DMC colors. Our round drills have 26 facets, which give you twice as much sparkle! And our square drills fit snuggly together for that great mosaic look. Both are uniform in size and shape so to minimize undesirable gaps on your canvas.
Cheap, Dull Diamonds
Most of our competitors use cheap, recycled acrylic materials to manufacture their diamonds. Their round drills are created with only 13 facets giving them a dull look. Their square drills are also cut poorly which results in a lot of mis-shaped, trash drills and cause unnecessary gaps all over your canvas.
Soft, Smooth Canvases
Our velvety-soft, patented, tarpaulin canvas is not only manufactured with serged edges to avoid fraying, but is also guaranteed to self-flatten as soon as you start working on it. Our strong, sturdy canvases allow for easier framing once you’ve completed your masterpiece.
Cheap, Wrinkled Canvases
A lot of competitors cut corners when it comes to manufacturing the canvas. Low quality canvases are made from plastic or cheap fabrics which are stiff and don’t flatten. This creates undesirable wrinkles in your canvas causing your diamonds to move and not stay in place.
Poured Glue, Clear Film
Diamond Art Club™ knows how important the adhesive is to a successful diamond art painting. That’s why weuse a proprietary, high-tech poured glue adhesive formula engineered for easy application and long-lasting hold even in high humidity! Our clear film covering also allows you to see the canvas in its entirety and the specific section you’re working on while you diamond paint.
Double-Sided Tape, Opaque Cover
Many diamond art kit makers use double-sided tape or an inexpensive technique for adding glue to their canvases. This “pasting” process results in a weak, “oily” adhesive that simply doesn’t stick. Bubbles and rivers are commonly found in these low-quality products which make your diamonds pop out of place causing tremendous frustration while you paint. Solid and opaque covers are also used to mask pixelated designs so you can’t enjoy the entire artwork as a whole.
What You See Is What You Get
We transform each artwork by hand utilizing 10~100K frames per picture for the ultimate experience in detail. Our designers create the best canvas size and diamond shape combination for each painting, while hand-picking each symbol for precision and clarity. This time intensive process means all our kits are true to the artist’s original artwork. Our high-tech printing process also ensures symbols are easy to read and understand for a more enjoyable creative process.
Confusing Options & Pixelated Artwork
Many competitors use an automated charting software system called Pattern Maker. Artwork is uploaded, charted, and exported in less than 20 seconds. This allows them to let you choose different sizes & diamond shapes but the final result is almost always disappointing & pixelated.
Licensed Artwork
Diamond Art Club™ prides itself in properly licensing all artwork from our growing community of independent artists and mainstream properties. Confidently support these freelance and recognizable artists for their hard work and creativity when purchasing from us.
Stolen Artwork
Unfortunately, there are many diamond art painting kits on the market that are of stolen artwork. Many competitors illegally produce these kits without the artists even knowing because it’s so easy to do. We hope you do not fall victim to such counterfeit items and help keep creativity alive by supporting these artists!
Lifetime Warranty, Fast Shipping
Our focus is to provide crafters with the best diamond art painting experience. We guarantee our products against defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the product. We also offer free Accidental Damage Insurance, missing diamond protection, and a 30-day money back guarantee. All orders are shipped from New Jersey, USA.
Problems with Resellers
People experience tremendous frustrations when ordering from diamond art painting vendors that drop-ship from third-party factories in China. As everything is printed on demand and comes from overseas, shipping takes weeks, and there’s no one to contact when something goes wrong. Put your trust in Diamond Art Club™. We’re here for you.
The Diamond Art Club Difference
See what our customers have to say!
“... too many people are spoiled by Amazon and the lower quality canvases that sell cheaply. Once I started doing the canvases from DAC I questioned why I should waste time, and money, buying these canvases from some of these other Amazon stores and being disappointed 90% of the time. You most definitely get what you pay for, both good and bad.”
