Introduction to how to frame diamond art projects

Diamond painting, also known as diamond art, is a popular crafting activity that involves placing tiny resin diamonds onto a sticky canvas to create a sparkling masterpiece. While it may seem daunting initially, framing your finished diamond art is a straightforward process that can add a professional touch to your artwork. This article will guide you through the steps to frame diamond art.

Materials Required Before we begin, here are the materials you will need to frame your diamond art:

• A finished diamond art piece
• A frame of your choice
• Double-sided tape or glue
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Optional: cardboard or foam board

Step 1: Measure your diamond art 

To ensure your diamond art fits perfectly into the frame, measure the dimensions of your finished piece using a ruler. Make sure to accurately measure the width and height, and write down the measurements.

Step 2: Prepare the frame 

Take apart the frame and remove any glass or backing. If your frame has a mat, you can use it to add a border around your diamond art. Alternatively, you can use cardboard or foam board to create a border.

Step 3: Mount your diamond art 

Carefully mount your diamond art onto the backing or mat using double-sided tape or glue. Make sure to align the edges of the canvas with the edges of the backing or mat.

Step 4: Secure the backing 

Once your diamond art is in place, carefully place the backing onto the frame and secure it with the tabs or clips provided with the frame. If your frame does not have tabs or clips, you can use tape to secure the backing in place.

Step 5: Add optional embellishments 

If you wish, add extra embellishments to your art, such as a ribbon or a label with the name of the piece and the artist.

Conclusion 

Framing your diamond art is a simple and rewarding process that can help preserve your artwork and make it look more professional. By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and personalised framed diamond art piece that you can display proudly in your home or give as a thoughtful gift.
