7 Steps to Create Your Beach Sunrise Masterpiece

Follow this stress-free process:

1. Prep Your Workspace

  • Lay the canvas flat on a clean, dry surface. Use masking tape to secure edges.

  • Pro Tip: Work in small sections to keep the adhesive fresh.

2. Decode the Canvas Symbols

Each symbol matches a diamond color. Check the legend included in your kit.

3. Master the Diamond Pen

  • Dip the pen tip into the wax.

  • Press gently to pick up drills. Avoid pressing too hard—it bends the tip!

4. Manage Colors Like a Pro

  • Pour one color into the tray at a time.

  • Shake gently to align diamonds face-up.

Stuck on gradients (like ocean waves)? Our Tropical Beach Kit uses pre-sorted drills for seamless transitions!

5. Tackle Tricky Areas

  • Sunrise Glow: Start with lightest yellows, layer darker oranges.

  • Waves: Alternate between blues and whites for depth.

6. Fix Mistakes Fast

  • Use tweezers to reposition misplaced diamonds.

  • Store extra drills in labeled bags for future touch-ups.

7. Seal & Frame Your Art

  • Apply clear glue or a sealing spray.

  • Frame it! Standard 16x24 frames fit perfectly.

Common Beginner Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

  • Loose Diamonds? Press drills firmly with the pen’s flat end.

  • Color Confusion? Double-check the legend under bright light.

  • Curled Canvas? Our kits use anti-curl material—no more frustration!

Creative Ways to Display Your Beach Art

  1. Budget-Friendly: Use poster hangers from Amazon.

  2. Luxury Look: Custom framing with UV-protective glass.

  3. Gift Idea: Pair it with a mini LED light strip for nighttime glow.
