Diamond painting, made easy

Make it sparkle, one drill at a time.

The kits worth buying, the tools you'll actually reach for, and the tips that turn a canvas into something you'll want to frame.

Your starter cart

Most kits include a basic pen, tray and wax. These upgrades make the biggest difference, roughly in the order people buy them.

Full drill or partial, square or round, and the brands whose canvases arrive flat with every color included.

A4, A3 or A2, and why a light pad makes the tiny symbols readable.

Cases, vials and labels so leftover drills don't end up in the carpet.

You'll stare at this picture for weeks, so pick one you love. Browse kits by theme. Every list is re-checked against Amazon.

The first question every new painter asks. Each shape suits a different kind of painter.
