2. WHEN WAS DIAMOND PAINTING INVENTED?

The concept of diamond painting is not new. It is believed to be started in Asia. From there, it spread into other parts of the world. In earlier days, diamond paintings were created on velvet by gluing beads on the velvet canvas that is considered a hard way as beads can fall from the velvet cloth easily.

During its days of development, super glues have been tested and are now used with velvet canvases to keep the diamonds intact. Velvet canvas has its own benefit that its almost wrinkle/creases free.

This modern concept of diamond painting was invented in 2010 by a company based in China and is sometimes also referred to as diamond stitch, diamond embroidery, and mosaic art. By 2017, this form of painting had spread, with widening participation from all the countries. The new method involves placing diamonds on an adhesive canvas so that the beads can stick firmly on them.

3. HOW DOES DIAMOND PAINTING WORK?

Diamond painting works on the concept of applying thousands of tiny diamond resins to a pre-printed adhesive canvas. The canvas has letters and symbols that correspond to the color. There is a guide on the side of the canvas that shows what symbol is for what color and what is the DMC code of that color.
