• Next, you need to decide on the place on the diagram, which will be laid out first. The numbers of the pebbles should be written on the squares - they must be used in this place of the picture.
• Then you need to open the film in your drawing, exposing a small piece for work.
• Now you need to take one crystal out of the box with tweezers, glue it very carefully into place on the diagram.

Important! To make the image perfectly smooth, each pebble should be clearly in place. With tweezers, you can adjust the crystals, helping it stick to the base more firmly.

• If the crystal has an uneven square shape or its side has a slight flaw, it is better not to use such a rhinestone, otherwise the final appearance of the picture may deteriorate.

Important! Mosaic or embroidery with rhinestones takes a lot of time, and sometimes it may take a couple of hours to work. Everything will depend on the size of the picture and the experience of the craftswoman.

Masters note:

• If the needlewoman has experience in using a needle for embroidery with beads, then she may make some mistakes in the process of working with diamond embroidery. By embroidering with beads, the craftswoman works from right to left, creating even rows - this is required by the embroidery method. However, in diamond embroidery you need to glue rhinestones from left to right. Thus, they will lie more evenly, and the image will take a more regular shape and shape.
• Working with tweezers is somewhat different from owning a needle with a thread, you need to get used to it. After a few minutes of fruitful work, the needlewoman will skillfully work with this tool.
• For more convenient work with round rhinestones, a white pencil is usually embedded in a set. With it, it’s easier to take one pebble and glue it in its place in the picture.

Important! The pencil is more convenient for round rhinestones, and it is better to take square stones with tweezers.

• Some sets come with an iron ruler, which is needed to align the rows with glued rhinestones. When a row is laid out, it is necessary to correct it with a ruler, in case of deformation - to shift, correct. To make diamonds easier to move, do not initially fasten them strongly. After the needlewoman sees the desired result, you should well press the rhinestones, using the upper film for this.
• Rhinestones need to be glued butt, pressing them tightly to each other so that there is no empty space and the fabric does not glow.
