How to Paint Diamond Art

This undertaking may be time consuming. Consider taping the canvas to a board, which you can move out of the way readily.

• Unroll the canvas and then tape it down on a flat surface. If the canvas won't lay flat, roll it back the other way, then unroll it. Spread it down onto a flat surface, then secure the edges.

The Steps:

• Understand how to read the canvas for tiger painting. The canvas is composed of boxes that are colored and labeled with numbers, much like a cross-stitch canvas. Each number corresponds to a diamond color. The numbers are written on a chart, with the tote and diamond color. The chart is printed on the face of the canvas.

Some squares may have a letter or symbol instead; handle this as a few.

Some kits have pre-cut plastic strips. In this case, simply peel off off the strip.

Setting Up the Canvas
