Here are some general tips to help you with Diamond Painting:

    If the canvas legend contains different letters, symbols, or numbers than are printed on your bags, mark your bags with the appropriate symbol from the legend.
    After pouring the gems into the tray, shake the tray side to side gently. This helps tu the gems the correct side up.
    Sometimes a certain color of gems will be prone to sticking together. Do not try to separate them with your fingers. Set the stuck gems aside and retu them to the bag. With the bag properly closed, rub the gems with your fingers. You can also cut small pieces from a dryer fabric sheet and insert them into the container with the gems. Work around any that are stuck still together, because you might have enough that you don't have to use those.
    If you are having issues picking up gems, you might need more wax. If you've added more wax but are still having issues, you might need a lighter touch when picking up the gems. Try to just barely touch the tip of the gem with the tool and it should pick up.
    Sometimes there are dense sections of hard to see colors. Work these for a while, then switch to a lighter and less dense color to give yourself a refreshing break.
    Always wrap the wax back up, including sealing it within the plastic bag it came in.
    It is also advised to put the diamond tools back in the plastic bag, to help preserve the wax that is already in the tip.
    Always cover your painting back up with the provided plastic while it is in progress.
    Use the small pointed end of the diamond tray to put the diamonds back into the bag.
    Save all the trays, tools, wax, and diamonds when you are finished with your project. You can use these on other diamond painting projects.
    Having additional trays and/or containers to house the gems can be helpful while working diamond paintings. We plan to sell general diamond painting accessories soon.
    All diamond paintings come rolled, which results in creases. The creases will work themselves out as you add diamonds to your canvas and should not be present in your final picture. You can gradually help these creases by pressing the painting with books as you work.
