How to display a diamond painting masterpiece? Things to consider

Having completed your custom diamond painting, you might be wondering how to display it. Don’t worry; showcasing your artwork is easy with the right frame and a suitable location. Your well-crafted masterpiece deserves to be highlighted as a testament to your effort and creativity. Let’s explore some elegant ways to display your custom diamond painting at home.

• Frame It

1. Select a frame that complements the colours and style of your diamond painting. A simple, sleek frame works well for most designs, while ornate frames might suit more intricate artworks.
2. Ensure your painting is completely flat by placing it under a heavy book or using a rolling pin to smooth it out.
3. Use acid-free tape or adhesive to secure your painting onto a backing board. This will keep it stable inside the frame.
4. Place the mounted painting into the frame and secure the backing. Ensure the diamonds face outward and the glass or acrylic cover doesn’t press too hard on the diamonds, as this could cause them to shift or lose their sparkle. 

• Stretch It on a Canvas

1. Choose a canvas that matches the size of your diamond painting. You can purchase pre-stretched canvases or stretch your own.
2. If you’re stretching your own, ensure the canvas is taut and securely attached to the frame.
3. Use a strong adhesive, like double-sided tape or spray adhesive, to affix the diamond painting to the canvas. Start from one edge and press down gradually to avoid air bubbles and wrinkles.
4. Fold the edges of the painting over the sides of the canvas and secure them with staples or adhesive. 

• Create a Wall Collage

1. Lay your paintings on the floor and arrange them until you find a layout you like. Mix different sizes and shapes for visual interest.
2. Mark the layout on your wall using painter’s tape or a pencil. Ensure your measurements are accurate to keep the collage balanced.
3. Use picture hooks, nails, or adhesive strips to hang your diamond paintings. Start with the central piece and work your way outward.

• Use an Easel

1. Select an easel that fits the size of your diamond painting. A tabletop easel works well for smaller pieces, while a floor easel is better for larger artworks.
2. Ensure your painting is securely placed on the easel. You can use clips or adhesive to keep it in place if necessary.
3. Place the easel in a well-lit area where your painting can catch the light and sparkle.

• Incorporate into furniture design

1. Select a piece of furniture, such as a coffee table or side table, with a glass top.
2. Place your diamond painting under the glass top, ensuring it fits perfectly.
3. Use adhesive strips or double-sided tape to keep the painting in place under the glass.
4. Now your diamond painting doubles as both art and a functional piece of furniture.
