How to Frame Diamond Art

Before you purchase your canvas, you will want to measure and know the finished size of your diamond art. The canvas you choose should be smaller than the finished art. That way you can wrap the edges around the canvas and still have those sparkling diamonds on the side of the canvas.

Prep the Canvas and Diamond Art

As a heads up, I am not measuring anything. If you would like to measure so you get it perfectly centered you totally can!

To begin, cover the canvas with glue. You do not want a fast drying glue because you want to be able to move the diamond art around before it dries completely.

Carefully lay the diamond art over the top of the canvas and eyeball center.

Work quickly, and while the glue is still wet press the edges of the diamond art down over the edges of the canvas and slide the art until it is right where you want it.

Once the art is right where you want it, use the brayer to push the art into the glue and canvas. Turn over and brayer the backside as well.

Place the diamond canvas upside down on a cutting mat. Trim the edges of the diamond art so they stick out about 2 inches from the edge of the canvas.

Next, we want to prep the corners for wrapping around the canvas.

Line the ruler against the canvas and with a craft knife cut from the edge of the canvas to the outer edge of the diamond art. Do this against each side of the canvas and then remove the rectangle out of each corner. Do this on all four corners.

To wrap, tightly pull up the edges of the diamond art around the canvas.

Make sure the staples are going through the wood frame of the canvas, not the canvas itself and put five staples on each side. I started with the middle, then each end then the two center sections.

Then, turn the piece over and see your finished work of art!

    I love this video. You make it look so easy! My biggest concern is when you cut the ends off, won’t a lot of the diamonds pop off? I seem to have problems getting mine to stay down. I have been using a piece of waxed paper and a rolling pin. Do you have any other suggestions? Do you ever seal them with anything?

      When I was cutting and wrapping around the canvas a couple of the plastic diamonds did fall off. I was able to reapply them to where they fell off and they have stayed stuck. I have not tried sealing the plastic diamonds but I would imagine a good coat of Mod Podge would do the trick.

      I have done a couple of different brands of diamond art and Diamond Art Club is my favorite. I think they have the highest quality product and the diamonds stick the best.
