All About
Diamond Painting
Diamond painting is a mixture of cross-stitch, puzzles, beadwork, paint by numbers, mosaic art and a form of interactive artwork. Requiring you to use diamonds "flatback (non hotfix) resin, rhinestones, crystals) instead of paint giving the design a 5D experience.
Diamond painting has an amazing history to explore, found in China with the traditional art form on velvet and gluing down the gems to create details or fill out the picture design. In 2010, the current art form was patented to create an easier experience with the adhesive already on the canvas and ready to use flatback rhinestone, resin, diamond gems coded to the image.
​
House of Diamond Prints have created legally licensed designs and hand selected existing mainstream designs. All of the diamond painting prints are full coverage, meaning the whole canvas design is made up of the rhinestones.
