This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to create your own diamond painting canvas by basically making pixellated art - either on a computer or using a hand-drawn grid. Contact paper is used for the self-adhesive backing, and in my case I used abstract art as my pattern guide.
I go through the simple calculations you need to do to create a successful canvas layout, and I demonstrate how to do diamond painting as well. I found this to be a fun and creative project, and I find diamond painting to be a very relaxing hobby. I hope you give it a go!
