Peel back the protective film from the area you want to work on first. Do not remove the entire film; rather, gradually peel it back as you progress on the design.
Find the symbol on the canvas you want to work on first. We recommend starting from a bottom corner and working your way up.
Locate the same symbol on the table (left and right sides of the canvas) to find the corresponding DMC color code.
Find the diamond package with the corresponding DMC color code and pour the diamonds into the tray.
Apply wax to the pen and pick up the diamond by the faceted side.
Place the diamond on the corresponding symbol. Continue the process, working with one color code at a time.
Other tips:
Remember to continuously place the protective cover over the canvas when you’re not working to protect the canvas adhesive from gathering dust.
Close the wax caddy when not in use to prevent it from drying out.
Wrap the stylus pen in plastic or a ziplock bag if you have wax inserted to prevent it from drying out.
After every diamond painting session, use a book to gently press down on the area that was worked on to ensure the diamonds stay in place.
