Diamond painting needs no needle and no thread: you peel back a small area of the film covering the adhesive canvas and place the little crystals on the printed squares, following the colour and symbol key. It is a calm, repetitive pastime that children can enjoy too with a bit of help, and the picture appears as you work.
Work on a well-lit surface and uncover only the section you are filling, so the adhesive stays clean. Once finished, the panel can be hung or stood on a shelf: the frame shown in the photo is not included and should be chosen separately to suit the size of the canvas.
