Like they say, 'a diamond is forever.'  Diamonds are something special.  They are captivating.  Eye-catching.  They can also be used to make amazing artworks, using the medium of 'diamond embroidery.'  Crafts are quite popular, and this craft can be found easily on Ali Express in all kinds of varieties. 

The diamond embroidery is a fun method of making art by gluing plastic diamonds onto a canvas.  The 'diamonds' are all different colors, and can imitate a painting to be viewed from a distance.  Ali Express offers kits which use this technique.  You receive a printed canvas, a special applicator, and the different colors of diamonds in bags.  One strong example of this art style is 'Fortune Waterfall Deer Sunset', which features a Chinese landscape with a person in a rowboat, amazing waterfalls, and cranes in the foreground.  It is very cheap, and can be shipped to anywhere you live in the world for hours of fun.  Diamond embroidery looks great on your wall!

Diamond painting is another art technique that is widely advertised on Ali Express.  It is similar to diamond embroidery, but it uses small plastic pieces which glimmer in the light.  The plastic pieces, when put all together, become a painting.  The canvas that you use can be custom-printed with the picture of your choice; this can be a family photo, your favorite pet, or another painting that you enjoy.  The canvas can be rolled up safely to store, and the plastic pieces will stay on.  In addition, there are tweezers included in the kit, so you don't have to worry about using your fingers to put on the pieces.  When you are finished, they can be framed and put on your wall.

The diamond mosaics are diverse, including subjects like running horses, classic Nineteenth-Century paintings, and again, your own custom picture.  The canvases are printed as high-quality HD and the pieces are custom-made so that they will fit perfectly on your picture.  Note that they are not completed; this is up to you.  In addition, framing is up to you.  Do not let children play with it, or else the adhesive will come loose.  The diamonds are made of resin plastic, and so are very durable.  The included glue is non-toxic.  Your creation will last for years if you properly take care of it, and can be passed down to your young ones when they get older!  They are fun family project which you will all be able to enjoy making, and displaying together in your family home. 


Whether you call it diamond painting, or diamond mosaic, or diamond embroidery, you are sure to have hours of fun putting your artwork together.  They are a great, cheap alternative to framed paintings if you can't afford to buy one.  They are easy to make, and if you have any questions, you can call the company's customer service and talk to a person over the phone.  You can easily find these beautiful, amazing items on aliexpress.com.  Visit there today!
