Diamond painting is such a fun and therapeutic craft to take on, and we especially think it works well for festive designs thanks to its glittery nature. If you have never tried diamond painting before and would like to find out more about this craft, we have this fabulous guide to diamond painting, which will tell you everything you need to know.
In short, diamond painting is placing small resin gems on a pre-printed design. The gems correlate with the numbers on the design. It's just like paint by numbers but with diamonds instead of paint.
Thanks to the repetitive nature of this craft it is often described as therapeutic and relaxing, as it doesn't require too much concentration. This makes it a good after-work or school craft to start winding down from any stresses of the day.
In our list, you'll find a variety of Christmas-themed designs to choose from, from traditional Santa designs to cute modern characters. Whatever your style you'll find something here to get stuck into!
