Varieties of diamond embroidery

What are the options for paintings with rhinestones?

• There are sets of diamond embroidery in which it is assumed that the entire surface of the painting will be laid out with stones.
• There are also sets where only some basic picture is laid out on the image, and everything else is left without diamonds.

Important! It is not necessary to buy a ready-made set of diamond embroidery - you can just buy diamonds and stick them on the base of the picture in the form of some kind of pattern that you like.

Creating a diamond embroidery painting

The complete set of sets for diamond embroidery:

• The basis of the image with the printed circuit.
• Set of rhinestones.
• Plastic pencil for gluing diamonds.
• Plastic tray with cells.
• Glue stick for pencil.
• Liquid glue.
• Tweezers.
• Cardboard tube.

The steps for creating a picture of rhinestones with your own hands are as follows:

• Lay out the base of the picture on the table.
• Determine the start of work.

Important! It’s best to start working from the edge of the picture, so that later you get in the way.

• The circuit with the symbols should already be applied to the basis of the scheme, and the key to it should be located at the bottom of the scheme, in which the conventional icons are displayed, as well as the corresponding number of pebbles. Using the key, determine the color you need and take the necessary fist with the number.
• Pour a small amount of rhinestone into the tray - so it will be much more convenient for you to take the material for laying out.
• Carefully peel off a small portion of the protective film.

Important! Do not remove the entire film at once - this can lead to drying of the adhesive layer.

• Put an adhesive layer on the tip of the pencil, for which take a pencil and press it a couple of times into the adhesive plate.
• Using a pencil, carefully take a diamond and glue it to the base, positioning it so that it covers one square of the diagram.

Important! You can also use tweezers to grab stones.

• Fill the whole diagram with diamonds and leave to dry like that. After complete drying, put the finished work in a beautiful frame and hang on the wall.

Useful Tips

In the process of making a picture of rhinestones with your own hands, you need to remember some important nuances:

• During breaks during operation, always try to cover the adhesive layer of the base with a protective film, since interruptions in operation can lead to drying of the adhesive base.
• In the process of gluing stones on the base, it is important to remember that at first the rhinestones remain mobile, and full fixation occurs only after a day. Therefore, do not lift or turn over the finished work until it is fully fixed.
• Never fold the finished work with stones inward, as this may contribute to the removal of the strass.
• In order to protect the work from falling out of diamonds, you can use the glue that comes with the kit.
• After completion of work, carefully apply glue to the joints of stones - this will give additional fixation.
