Anyone into diamond art? I finished my first.

It’s 20x16 and more sparkly than camera shows.

Very relaxing.

2. Wow! Awesome

3. It's a kit thing. Sorta like paint by numbers but cleaner.

Takes no talent. Better than a jigsaw puzzle.

There are a number of kits at the big A.

It’s addicting for me.

7. Is this done with the tiny color beads?

Is this done with the small colorful beads, and glued to a numbered spot? I think my daughter likes to do these. Takes a bit of time, but very nice hobby

[LakeArenal]

8. Yep. Cleaner than paint by number. More lasting than a jigsaw puzzle.

12. I JUST got into this and I'm addicted!

Two pictures and one set of bookmarks done already. Really helps with the stress before this election, and my ADHD loves it. Don't know what I'm going to do with them when done, but I'll figure that out later.


Are you still doing diamond art? What themes are a favorite?

[LakeArenal]

15. Well as you say, how many projects can you hang on your wall...

So… I love the greeting cards. When people get one they know it’s special.
Especially the thank you cards.

I also like key chains. Fast and as small stocking stuffers or purse charms. Friends say they love them. Especially the mándelas. )( I think that’s what they are called) and always a bit different than any other gift.
When you do it awhile, long projects like the above lose their charm.
Smaller, more immediate gratification. 😊

16. I love the mandalas too

And I just went on Amazon and found the cards. Great ideas! Just hope my eyes can handle it.

17. my friend does these all the time..she finds it very relaxing

..i just dont know what i would do with all the finished items.

18. The small items make cute gifts

The Christmas ornaments make a cute tag on a Christmas gift. Last Christmas a friend strung gold thread through ornaments and tied them as napkin rings and small gift for party invitees.
Greeting cards are used all year round.
There are coasters you can use for drinks and another cool gift.

Go on line see what different kits there are. Something will stir your imagination. Big portrait projects take quite awhile so you only make few and there is some theme you can use as a gift.
