What comes in a diamond painting kit

เขียนโดย topdiamondart
If you enjoy experimenting with various crafts and art, you might enjoy diamond painting, also referred to as 3S or 5D diamond painting. Originating out of Asia, the craze has quickly spread across the world and is known to be a calming and enjoyable activity for all ages.

The terminology of diamond painting can be particularly confusing for those who are new to the craft. What on earth are drills? What comes in a diamond painting kit? What in the world is the difference between 3D and 5D, and what do those terms even mean?

Three dimensions give a nice but simpler look. The difference is in the diamonds, and everything else is the same. 5D diamonds have a different number of facets or faces on each side. There are five on each side instead of three, and that's where these types of diamonds really stand out.

3D Diamond Painting
A 3D Diamond Painting involves placing tiny rhinestones or beads (also called drills) onto either a numbered or blank canvas. The drills are approximately 2.5 x 2.5mm in size. 3D Diamond Paintings are made of drills with a total of 9 facets – 3 on each side.

5D Diamond Painting
5D Diamond Painting comprises working with drills that have 5 facets on each side – making up a total of 15 facets. Therefore, these drills tend to have more sparkle since there are more facets and gives the finished project more depth.

So, if 5D drills are prettier and more sparkly, why do 3D drills even exist at all? Wouldn’t every diamond painter want to use 5D drills all the time? It is true that 5D drills tend to be more eye-catching than 3D drills. But there are moments and styles of painting that are better encapsulated with 3D drills, believe it or not. As an example, it can be especially effective to use 3D and 5D drills in conjunction in the same painting, with the 5D drills used to highlight a particular component of the image that you want your viewers to pay more attention to.

Diamond painting kits come in various sizes, which is ideal for times when you want to de-stress and engage in the active relaxation that diamond art provides, but you don't have much time to finish a big project. First of all, the level of detail of the image changes when you paint with diamonds on small canvases and large canvases.
