Diamond painting

What you need

2.5 mm square drills in DMC colours; adhesive canvas, pen, wax, tray and tweezers.

These supplies describe the Carolers example; open a project for its exact list and sizes.

How to begin

1. Prepare a gridded adhesive canvas.
2. Start in a corner; match symbols to DMC drill codes.
3. Place one square drill per occupied cell.
4. Keep rows straight; press down and finish.

Motif-only counting chart. Cover blank sticky cells with release film, or use a sealer made for your canvas. You can fill them with background drills instead. Drill shades vary by supplier.
