Sometimes, all you need is a little creative escape—and for me, that’s diamond painting. As someone who loves crafts and trying out new hobbies, I wanted to start with something manageable and fun. So I picked coasters as my first project.
Why coasters? Because they’re the perfect size—not too big, not too small—just right for practicing my diamond placement skills without feeling overwhelmed. Plus, who doesn’t love a handmade coaster to brighten up their coffee table?
So far, I’m really enjoying the process. There’s something oddly satisfying about placing those tiny, sparkling diamonds one by one. I’ve noticed some people use special professional pens that pick up several diamonds at once—fancy, right? But for now, I’m sticking to the classic approach. Taking it slow and steady feels more natural to me, and honestly, it’s a nice little mindful moment in my day.
If you’ve ever thought about trying diamond painting, I say go for it! Start small, have fun, and who knows—maybe your next masterpiece is just a coaster away.
