My Newest Hobby: Diamond Art Kits

newest project I'm working on

I don't necessarily consider myself to be crafty.  I can't crochet or sew to save my soul.  I'd say I'm on the "medium scale" spectrum of creativity.

Thanks to my sister, though, I was recently introduced to the newest craft trend of Diamond Art Kits.  Seems they're all the rage these days.  Traci had me over to her house and showed me what it was all about.  And, now, I'm sucked into the Diamond Art Vortex.  I lose all sense of time, placing tiny little dots in their proper place until sparkly images appear (or until my eyes start to cross).

Diamond Art Kits take a ton of time and patience, but you don't have to be Martha Stewart to finish a piece.  It's almost like Paint With Color Kits, except you're placing itty bitty gems on a coded sheet.

I've finished one complete kit and a few magnets.  Now I'm on to the next canvas kit.  If I don't answer my texts or calls, it's because I'm busy doing the dot, dot, dot a lot, lot, lot.

My husband made a wooden frame for the completed canvas and now I have it hung up on my kitchen.

Have you done any Diamond Art Kits?
