Read on to get helpful guides, tips and ideas on how to get more designs and how to get the best outcome when ordering a custom diamond painting.
Find a design or a photo that you want to be converted to a diamond painting canvas. It can be a picture of your family, a pet, your favorite artist, or any picture that holds a special meaning to you. A completed and framed diamond painting can be a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or any occasion to make your family and friends feel special.
1) GOOD DETAILS
Select a photo with good details. Photos with far away faces, excessive shadows, blurry details will not make a good diamond painting. Choose a photo that has a clear subject in it with good lighting. We explain each concept further in the paragraphs below.
a) CLEAR SUBJECT(S)
The larger the subject in the photo, the better. This means that the subject in the photo has clearer details. A face in a photo you want to submit should be very clear. Blurry photos may affect the final quality of your diamond painting. Try to use a phone with a good camera. If you don't have one, see if you can borrow one from friends or family.
If you’re planning to convert a photo with a lot of faces in it like a group or class picture, you want it converted into a large canvas size. Many people in a group will naturally need to be taken from far away, so the faces may end up being very small and not recognizable.
b) GOOD LIGHTING
Choose a photo with the subject getting good lighting. Dark photos will probably turn out to only have black and shades of gray diamond colors. The rendering of shadows in diamond paintings have been a pain point for customers in the past. If in doubt, avoid having lots of shadows!
Photos that are overexposed will not turn out good as well, pictures that are too bright may end up with diluted colors and unrecognizable details. This is the same issue with underexposed or photos that are too dark.
c) SUBJECT MATTER
If you’re planning to submit someone’s photo and give it as a gift to that person, make sure they like the photo. Does that photo or picture have special meaning to them? You wouldn’t want that person to not like your custom diamond painting of their photo.
1) You can go online to find a suitable picture. Your imagination is the limit! Search for any design that you want, whether that is a picture of your favorite fairytale, cartoon, a famous painting, cool graphic design or anything else you can imagine.
You can download the picture that you want to be turned into a custom diamond painting. If you’re not that internet savvy, ask help from someone else or send a message to the diamond painting website store’s customer care service to help you.
2) Here’s a great idea, take stills from your favorite movie or tv series scenes! Wouldn’t it be great to have memorable scenes as diamond paintings hanging on your wall? It will look so cool.
Decorate your walls with diamond paintings from movies that inspire you.
There's no doubt that you'll have a diamond painting project that you just can't wait to finish!
Hang them proudly on your wall and let it be a source of conversation!
3) Use your camera or smartphone
Nowadays cell phones have great cameras. You can channel your inner photographer and take artistic photos and submit them to be turned into a custom diamond painting. Take pride in having your original and one of a kind design diamond painting.
To avoid your photo or design being cropped, select the appropriate size and dimension of your canvas size. If you’re not sure which size you should order, ask help from the customer care service to make sure.
When ordering a custom diamond painting, a canvas set to a larger size will have more precision to your submitted photo or design. In a larger canvas size, small details will be more defined and the overall quality of the picture will be clearer and sharper.

Getting the appropriate size may be the difference between finishing a custom diamond painting kit you can be proud of... or ending up with a project you'd be embarrassed to show! If in doubt, try to choose a larger size, especially for pictures with a lot of details. Ask customer service if you're unsure!
Square diamonds offer more definition of the details since the pieces fit closer together. If choosing a smaller size, this would be suitable. Square drills are also favored by many diamond painting fans for the satisfying way they "click" in to place. However it takes longer to complete and is generally more difficult to get it just right.
Round diamonds are easier to place but they do leave tiny gaps. The gaps are not noticeable from a modest distance. They're more suitable for larger sizes for this reason, plus they're quicker to do. Round drills can also give a dot matrix finish that has its own beauty. Just make sure that your subject in the picture is large and choose a large canvas size for it as well.
