Which Kit Is Right for You?
Paint by numbers kits use acrylic paint applied to a pre-printed canvas divided into numbered sections, each corresponding to a specific colour. The technique builds colour gradually and produces a cohesive painted image without requiring any prior drawing or painting experience. Diamond painting works differently: small resin gems, called drills, are placed onto a sticky adhesive canvas using a stylus tool, building up a mosaic-like image with a distinctive sparkle. Both formats are available in a range of complexity levels, from simple designs with large sections suited to beginners, to detailed compositions with hundreds of colours and gem shades for more experienced crafters. Finished pieces can be stretched, mounted or framed for display. Explore our Creative Hobbies, Colouring Books and Brushes & Painting Tools collections for more inspiration.
