Kits & Drills
What’s included in a kit?
Every kit is complete: a pre-glued, colour-coded HD canvas, numbered DMC-matched drills (with surplus), a drill pen, wax and a grooved tray, plus instructions. There’s nothing extra to buy. See how it works.
What does “5D” and “full drill” mean?
“5D” refers to the drills’ extra facets, which catch more light for greater sparkle. “Full drill” means the entire image is covered in drills — edge to edge — rather than only part of it.
Round or square drills — which should I choose?
Round drills are faster and more forgiving (great for beginners and large pieces). Square drills tile edge-to-edge for a crisp, gallery-sharp finish and hold fine detail best. Both are full-drill. More detail in how it works.
What size should I get?
It depends on the detail in your design and how long you want to spend. Beginners do best starting small. Our full size guide maps every size to detail, difficulty and time.
Is diamond painting good for beginners?
Absolutely — if you can match a number to a colour, you can do it. Start with a beginner-friendly kit and read how to start.
What if I run out of a colour?
Every kit ships with surplus drills, but if you still run short — even years later — we send free replacement drills for life. Just contact us with your kit and the colour number.
How long does a diamond painting take to finish?
It depends on the size and detail. A small 20×20 cm canvas is an evening or two (around 3–8 hours), while a large, detailed piece can take 25+ hours across several relaxing sessions. Most makers work on theirs a little at a time — it’s meant to be enjoyed, not rushed. See the size guide for estimates by size.
Do I need any special tools or experience?
No experience at all — if you can match a number to a colour, you can do it. And you don’t need to buy anything extra: the pen, wax, tray and full instructions come in every kit. Just add a flat surface and good light.
Can I fix a drill I placed in the wrong spot?
Easily. As long as the glue is still fresh, just lift the drill with your pen or tweezers and press it down in the right place. Diamond painting is very forgiving — there’s no way to permanently “ruin” a canvas.
Custom Kits
Can I turn my own photo into a kit?
Yes! Upload a photo and we’ll convert it into a full-drill custom kit. We email a free digital proof for your approval before printing.
What photo works best for a custom kit?
A sharp, well-lit photo where the subject fills the frame. See our custom order tips for lighting, resolution and size advice.
Can I change the proof before it prints?
Yes — you get free revisions. Nothing goes to production until you approve the crop and colours.
Shipping & Delivery
Where do you ship, and how much is shipping?
We ship worldwide, tracked. The exact shipping cost is calculated and shown at checkout before you pay. Full details on our shipping page.
How long does delivery take?
Typically 10–16 business days to the US and 12–20 business days to the rest of the world, after processing. We show an honest window up front — no fake “ships tomorrow.” Custom kits add a little proofing time.
Will I get tracking?
Yes — you’ll receive a tracking number by email once your order ships, so you can follow it the whole way.
What if my order arrives damaged or gets lost?
We replace anything damaged or lost in transit free of charge. Just contact us with your order number and a photo if it’s damaged.
Returns & Payment
What’s your return policy?
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on standard kits. Full terms, including custom-kit exceptions, are on our Returns & Refunds page.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), plus PayPal and popular wallets — all in USD. Checkout is secure and encrypted.
