Large Size Diamond Mosaic
Diamond embroidery, or as it is also often called diamond mosaic, is a special type of needlework in which a beautiful picture must be neatly laid out with round rhinestones or square stones on a special type of canvas that has an adhesive backing, due to this small elements will hold.
Advantages and disadvantages
The size of the painting is always of great importance. The larger the size of the selected picture, the more detail it will have and the more realistic it will look.
Consider the positive aspects of purchasing large diamond embroidery.
- The more you select the size of the canvas of a beautiful picture, the better the rhinestones from the set will be able to convey the available color variations and the more beautiful your future picture will look.
- If you decide to create a large portrait, then it is with the help of a large detailed picture that you can easily see the glare on the hair of the hero of the picture, the catchy shades of blush on his cheeks, almost like a lively gaze - it will be simply impossible to achieve such an effect on a small canvas.
- One of the basic rules for creating diamond paintings is that the more objects there are in your painting, the larger its size should be, and then all objects will look brighter and more realistic.
- If the plot of your painting contains a fairly large number of different details, then for their transfer you will need beautiful overflows of colors, which can only be provided in a large picture.
There are also disadvantages.
- Not a very convenient format for beginners. It is still better to fill your hand and learn to "embroider" on a small canvas.
- Too long and painstaking work, which can take several weeks, or even months.
- Large diamond paintings do not always fit into certain interiors, unlike small works.
Set overview

Another important difference is the area where the rhinestones are laid out, it can be 100% complete when the whole picture is assembled in stages with rhinestones, and it can be partial when only a specific element is assembled on the canvas with rhinestones (for example, only a flower or part of an animal ).
