There's 3 simple steps in creating your own diamond painting:

1. Choose the photo you want to turn into a diamond painting. Choosing can be difficult but here are some helpful tips:
- make sure the person/pet in the picture is close to the camera
- choose a photo that is in the desired format: horizontal, square, or portrait
- you can always send the photo to us and we'll send you a preview to check within a few days

2. Choose the size. Remember: bigger sizes allow for more details. Also the orientation matters, is the picture in horizontal or portrait format. You can also choose between round and square diamonds. [tip: most people prefer square diamonds because they fill the canvas more fully but round ones are a bit easier to handle]
