Diamond Painting

Hi everyone,
does anyone have experience with diamond painting and can tell me what I can use to secure the finished picture?

Best regards, Marlies

Hi Marlies,
your picture looks great. I put my pictures in a frameless picture frame without anything else, and it holds up fine. It’s hanging on the wall.
But I think I read that there’s also a kind of spray varnish for this purpose.

Wow, what a great job. It turned out beautifully. 

Thanks! I’ll give framing it a try, then.

Hi Marlies,

your picture turned out beautifully :-)
I’d recommend using puzzle glue, but you can also buy special sealants made specifically for diamond painting.

Thanks—it’s really fun, too.
I was told you can also use latex binder from the hardware store. We’ll see. This definitely won’t be my last picture.

Hi Marlies,

I just thought of something else—to hide that border, I framed the picture in a mat, so to speak.
Just cut out a piece of paper or construction paper the same size as your picture, then cut out the inside so that only your picture is visible. I hope you can follow along—then just put it in the picture frame.

Or, even simpler, you can glue four narrow strips of paper (thicker paper so nothing shows through) around the picture. And just like that, you have a picture with a mat cutout.
