What is Diamond Painting?
As advertised by Diamond Art Club, the concept of diamond art is, “a combination of cross-stitch and paint-by-numbers.”
Whether you craft while watching a movie or jamming out to some music, diamond art is an exciting hobby for those who have loads of time on their hands. Through this method, the process begins with pressing a “magic” applicator tool into wax, and then utilizing diamonds to secure it onto an adhesive canvas. Forming a stunning masterpiece, the gems come together on a template of your choice to hang on a wall, lend as a gift, or to display in any other way.
The benefits? For starters, diamond painting has been proven to relieve stress and anxiety, while aiding your mental health. With a constant longing for escapism, this craft lends mindfulness-based art therapy, allowing crafters to take a breath while engaging in hand-eye coordination. From two to nine one hour sessions, this notion exercises finger muscles and allows your mind to feel productive, motivated, and concentrated.
If you're someone who constantly handles a heavy workload, the enjoyment from diamond painting may surprise you!
Diamond Art Club
I'm constantly searching for new hobbies to embark on, so when I first heard about Diamond Art Club, I instantly thought that the concept was such an innovative concept, setting itself apart in the best way possible. Although I am not the most experienced when it comes to art, a huge plus-side for me was that this diamond painting was simple to learn, without requiring prior expertise.
For the Fireside X-Mas Kit, it lived up to its expectations! When receiving the package, I was pleasantly surprised to see the obvious care that was taken into the presentation and organization of the product. On a 22" x 22" canvas, the small details were precise to exhibit the high-spirits and festive cheer of a fireplace on Christmas night.
Along with high-quality materials and easy-to-follow instructons, I was personally impressed that everything I needed was included without any hassle. There was the canvas template, separated diamonds with a color-coded chart, an applicator, hand grip, tray, and a wax shaped heart that added to the aesthetic of the brand.

Though this hobby can feel time-consuming, it guided me into a calmed and relaxed state while feeling the Christmas ambiance. Not to mention, before I knew it, time passed and I had been working on it for hours! It was so easy to get sucked into diamond painting, despite it being my first time.
Once the finished outcome revealed itself, I realized that viewing it in-person was far better than I imagined, and the realism presented something that was incomparable to photos online. Needless to say, I would recommend this to anyone looking to attempt something new on the trend radar.
