Tips for taking diamond painting on holiday

Want to keep doing your hobby on holiday? With these handy tips, you can easily take your diamond painting for the holiday with you, without hassle or damage.

Choose compact projects

Leave large canvases and complicated designs at home. Instead, choose small to medium projects like keychains, coasters, cards or paintings up to 30x40 cm. These are easier to take with you, quicker to finish, and take up little space in your suitcase or bag. Moreover, it gives extra satisfaction to complete a project during your holiday.

Use storage boxes

Make sure your stones and tools stay neatly organized. Small storage boxes, resealable bags, or pillboxes work perfectly to keep everything tidy. Label each compartment with the corresponding code so you can start right away without having to sort first. This prevents frustration and makes diamond painting much easier, even on the go.

Protect the canvas

The canvas is the base of your work, so protection is important. Lay it flat in your bag or suitcase, preferably between two sturdy cardboard sheets or in a folder. This prevents creases, folds, or damage to the glue layer. If you have no space to store it flat, choose projects on a hard surface, such as cards or coasters, which are less fragile.
