Browse all diamond painting kitsHow to pick a collection
Start with what you want to see on your wall or what suits the person you are buying for. All of our kits are 5D full drill on a soft velvet canvas, with poured glue under a clear film and printed symbols. Drills are resin, about 2.5 mm, and every kit includes at least 2 colors of AB drills. Most designs come in square (crisp mosaic look) or round (faster, more sparkle).
After theme, pick a size. We use about 16 drills per square cm, so a 30 x 40 cm kit is about 19,200 drills and roughly 10 to 15 hours of work. Smaller sizes suit a first project, and larger sizes make a bolder statement once you know the pace you enjoy.
If you are undecided, ask what you would be happy to look at every day for a few weeks. That one question usually points to the right collection faster than any list could.
Animals, cats and dogs
Animals are a popular theme because they are easy to love and easy to read on the canvas. Start with the main animal diamond paintings collection for pandas, owls, foxes, wildlife and more. If you have a favorite pet type, go straight to cat diamond paintings or dog diamond paintings.
- Best for: first kits, gifts for animal lovers, kids rooms.
- Look for: clear color areas and a focal point such as eyes.
- Want your own pet? Our custom kit turns any photo into a kit from $20.95, with a free design preview.
Christmas
The Christmas collection covers snowy scenes, trees, Santas and winter animals. It is a good pick for gifts because the finished piece is ready to hang. Order early in the season, since delivery takes time: orders process in 2 to 3 business days, then typical delivery is 12 to 20 days to the USA, 14 to 20 to Canada, 14 to 25 to the UK and 13 to 20 to Australia.
Halloween fans can also browse the Halloween collection.
Famous artists
The famous artists collection turns well-known paintings into sparkling mosaics. Impressionist brushwork suits diamond painting well, because soft color shifts become gradients of drills. These designs are a nice step up for painters who enjoy color blending.
- Best for: art lovers and painters who want a challenge.
- Tip: choose a medium size so the color shifts have room to show.
Landscapes and nature
If you want calm wall art, browse landscapes, nature and flowers. Sunsets, forests, seaside scenes and florals suit living rooms and bedrooms, and the large color areas are relaxing to fill in.
- Best for: relaxed sessions and home decor.
- Look for: gentle gradients and balanced composition.
Large areas of sky, water or foliage are good for practicing steady rows. They also work well with the multi-placer in your kit, which places several drills at once. Detail areas such as trees, rooftops and florals are where a single pen gives the best control. Landscapes are usually the best choice for a bigger, wall-filling piece because the image still reads well from across the room.
Fantasy world
The fantasy world collection has dragons, princesses, magical forests and dreamy scenes. AB drills add a shimmer that suits glowing lights and enchanted skies, so these designs really catch the light once they are framed.
Special diamond paintings
Not every project needs a big canvas. The special diamond paintings collection includes smaller and shaped items such as coasters, keychains, bookmarks and lamps. They are quick to finish, easy to gift and a fun way to try the craft.

Mixing collections into a gallery
Many customers build a set over time. A cat, a landscape and a mandala look surprisingly good side by side if you keep the frames the same. Pick a common size, such as 30 x 40 cm, choose matching wooden frames, and hang the pieces in a row or grid. You can also start with one small piece from a new collection to see if you like the theme before committing to a large one.
If you keep several kits going at once, keep drills sorted by color number and store each kit flat so nothing mixes. Our supplies collection has storage boxes, labels and spare tools.
