Choose the perfect photo

Diamond Painting photo

The first crucial step to create a successful diamond embroidery is to select the ideal photo. Opt for an image with marked contrasts, net contours and a varied color palette. Landscapes, portraits and even family photos can all be transformed into diamond embroidery.

To have the best rendering, here are the 3 points to respect:

Photo in high resolution: Make sure your photo is in high resolution and perfectly clear.
Avoid blurring and low quality: A blurred or poor quality photo is to be avoided at all costs. The choice of such an image compromises the sharpness of the final rendering. Subtle details and color shades can be lost, harming the beauty and precision of your canvas.
Photo with little light: If your photo is basic, it is not recommended to use it. Details will be badly reproduced on your Diamond Painting kit.

Once you have chosen your photo, you can take the next step!

Choose the format for your personalized diamond painting

What format to choose? This is a question that many beginners are asking. It can be confusing to see all the possibilities you have when you want to make your own Diamond Painting.

In reality, it all depends on what you are looking for and the budget that you are ready to allocate. We still advise you to take a size of at least 30x40cm, this is really the minimum to have some details on the canvas.

If you take a size below, you may have a canvas that does not look like much, even even say that it will be very ugly.

The more dimensions you have, the more details you have in the photo. It's up to you to find the right compromise. If you want the best possible result, you will have to choose the largest format. Remember that a large canvas also means more time required to make it.

You choose the shape of your diamonds (square or round). If you don't know which diamonds to choose, we recommend that you start with round diamonds. They have a shape that allows them to be much more easily placed.

In case you already have a little experience in diamond embroidery, you can venture to use square diamonds. They are a little more complicated in the sense that they must be aligned. But the result is even better in the end.
