1

Peel back the protective film from the area you want to work on first. Do not remove the entire film; rather, gradually peel it back as you progress on the design.

2

Find the symbol on the canvas you want to work on first. We recommend starting from a bottom corner and working your way up.

3

Locate the same symbol on the table (left and right sides of the canvas) to find the corresponding DMC color code.

4

Find the diamond package with the corresponding DMC color code and pour the diamonds into the tray.

5

Apply wax to the pen and pick up the diamond by the faceted side.

6

Place the diamond on the corresponding symbol. Continue the process, working with one color code at a time.

Other tips:

Tip 1

Remember to continuously place the protective cover over the canvas when you’re not working to protect the canvas adhesive from gathering dust.

Tip 2

Close the wax caddy when not in use to prevent it from drying out.

Tip 3

Wrap the stylus pen in plastic or a ziplock bag if you have wax inserted to prevent it from drying out.

Tip 4

After every diamond painting session, use a book to gently press down on the area that was worked on to ensure the diamonds stay in place.
