Diamond Dotz: The New Diamond Art Painting Kits

Why you should get your hands on a Diamond Dotz kit

If you’ve ever tried your hand at cross-stitching or puzzle-building, you should be familiar with the calming effects of taking up a crafty hobby. And with all the negative news we receive on our social feeds daily, it’s almost essential that we take some time away from our screens and leave room for quiet contemplation. If you’re looking for a new craft to try, Diamond Dotz is a fun activity similar to painting-by-numbers where you “paint” using little “diamond” facets.

If you’re interested in taking up this new hobby or gifting it to a friend, read on to discover more about Diamond Dotz, from what is included in each kit to the best patterns for beginners.

What is Diamond Dotz?

Diamond Dotz entails creating images using different coloured “diamond” facets. Similar to cross-stitching, you follow a pattern that indicates which colours go where. In the end, your diamond art will look like a shimmering, pixelated painting you can frame and hang up as decor.

Beginners can practise with simple designs like maple leaves and flower mandalas, while advanced Dotz-ers can create complicated landscapes and even paintings by artists like Van Gogh and Klimt.

Diamond Dotz is just one brand among a variety of other similar diamond painting kits. But Diamond Dotz is definitely the most popular one, as the brand comes up with a lot of new and exciting designs regularly. They also have something for everyone from Disney kids to fine art lovers.

What’s in the box?

Diamond painting kits come with fabric printed with a pattern, Diamond Dotz that have been pre-sorted by shade, a craft tray to organise your Dotz, a stylus, wax that helps the Dotz to stick on the stylus, and instructions.
