What Is Diamond Art? A Complete Beginner’s Guide

Diamond art is one of the fastest-growing DIY crafts in the world — a relaxing, beginner-friendly activity that turns small sparkling “diamonds” into stunning artwork. From acrylic hanging pieces to freestanding tabletop ornaments and highly polished glass kits, modern diamond art offers more variety and style than ever. This guide covers everything beginners need to know and helps you choose the right style for your home.

What Exactly Is Diamond Art?

Diamond art is a craft where you place tiny, shimmering resin diamonds onto a sticky surface to create a sparkling mosaic. Similar to paint-by-numbers but easier, it uses a coded chart to guide beginners step-by-step through the process. The result is a vibrant, textured artwork that catches light beautifully and adds personality to any space.

Today, diamond art isn't limited to flat canvases — it’s evolved into acrylic ornaments, tabletop décor, mini seasonal designs, and even transparent glass panels with a premium finish.

Different Types of Diamond Art Kits

Our diamond art comes in multiple forms, each offering a different visual effect:

Acrylic Hanging Diamond Art

Lightweight, vibrant, and easy to display, acrylic hanging diamond art is ideal for wall décor and seasonal themes like Easter, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or Mother’s Day. These colorful hanging pieces brighten any room and are extremely beginner-friendly.

Tabletop Diamond Art

Designed with a clear, sturdy base, tabletop diamond art stands on its own and fits perfectly on desks, shelves, mantels, or small decorative corners. It adds depth, sparkle, and personality to home décor without taking up much space.

Glass Diamond Art Kits

Your newest and most premium category.
Glass diamond art uses a crystal-clear panel that enhances light reflection and color depth, resulting in a luminous and high-end finish. This category feels modern and artistic, making it perfect for collectors, home decorators, or anyone looking for a more premium diamond art experience.

Wooden Frame Diamond Art (Acrylic Artboard Inside a Wood Frame)

This style combines a natural wooden frame with a vivid acrylic artboard inside, creating a polished, gift-ready display piece.
The wooden frame adds warmth, stability, and a premium handmade appearance, while the acrylic panel inside keeps the artwork bright, glossy, and durable.
Perfect for bedside tables, entryway décor, office desks, or as thoughtful holiday and Mother’s Day gifts—these framed pieces feel elegant and artistic right out of the box.

Each diamond art category offers different benefits and aesthetics, giving you the freedom to choose the format that best matches their space, style, and gifting needs.
