DIY 5D Diamond Painting by Number Kits, Crystal Rhinestone Embroidery Paint with Diamonds, Indoor Wall Decoration Gifts Arts and Crafts (BKZS13)

When I first got this, I did make sure it came with all of the colors needed to finish this and the tools to help "paint" this picture. I received everything needed to get started and finish. This was really easy and fun to do. The painting itself was easy to follow along when it came to what color to use. I did do this in sections and just used reusable sandwich baggies to use to store loose stones and my tools. The canvas itself is really sticky. I accidentally dropped a rhinestone on an open part of the canvas and when I tried to move it, the rhinestone did not want to budge. I ended up having to use tweezers to remove the rhinestone from the canvas. Once I was done, I placed a towel over it and used a rolling pin to ensure it sticks. I haven't framed this yet but love how it came out. Easy to follow along too.

Overall pretty happy with it. Be careful of the pieces with raised bottoms (partial plastic). Some spacing is off. Certain areas there’s room between stones and other areas it’s a tight fit. Toward the top there are places where I can see a bit of the letter underneath. I didn’t use much of the pink rubber cement at all. I wish the O and the C had been written in different colors,especially the spaces with similar background color. I’m sure there are a couple spots I put a C where an O should be. Lol. Pretty neat and fun experience!What do I do with all the left over beads now? It’s nice they give you extra but not sure what to do. I also have a lot of the pink rubber cement stuff left too.

I enjoy doing these types of activities and I have done a few before. The only thing I didn’t like about this one was that the “o’s” and “c’s” were almost the same color and a lot of them were in the same area (see photos) and it was hard to distinguish the difference between the two because they looked so similar. Also, user error on my part but the colors for #1 and #10 were also very similar and the letters were R and P. I got those mixed up and had to end up removing a lot of gems and resticking them on the right letter (but that was my fault for not paying attention)

Oof, this painting.I waited until totally complete before submitting this review.Gorgeous, no doubt. HOWEVER:Started off on a bad note with none of the #3 color. Unsure how this happened but no way for them to send me extra. Thankfully I asked the community who told me it was black, which I had in my stash. Which leads me to the second problem - it doesn't use DMC numbers so unlike others there is no way to keep your leftovers organized. I needed a light pad to distinguish letters that were similar that they put on very similar colors (i.e. O and C were both printed in black on 2 very similar shades of teal). And last but not least, these drills popped like no other. They came off and fell off the canvas left and right, even while I was doing the painting itself. Although I would have one section completed, I would notice that all of a sudden 4+ drills would be popped off, loose, or gone. Absolutely maddening, and I do these things for calm. But it is gorgeous, its redeeming quality giving it a 3. But it probably only deserves a 2.

I really like this new concept. Got one of these for myself (gifted a few to others who like doing these) because the pandemic caused me to have cramps coloring! I am so glad I tried this and I think it would be something you could work on as gifts for others throughout the year too. I am very impressed with the look of the ones I am seeing others do and I can barely wait to finish this one. It is so neat how the light catches the tiny stones. You will not be disappointed in the beauty and if you are unsure if you'd like it, try anyhow. I am glad I did. (ps. I have seen a 5 year old handle these things like a champ btw)

I have gotten this type of item in the past and my issue was that the picture with the gems, the picture was too pixelated and hard to see. This picture with it's size still has some good detail.

Cute picture, most of the drills were great but some were stuck together, not sure what causes that , maybe got to warm? Other than that it was fun to see it come together and turned out great!

I bought this almost one year ago to the date. I bought this as a COVID project and time passing activity. Even though I bought it may 5, 2020, the adhesive was still strong since it took me over a year to finish. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
