Congratulations on finishing your Diamond Painting! Now comes the hard part.
Where are you going to put it?!
After all the hours you spent creating your masterpiece, you can’t just put it in your closet. Your hard work deserves to be shown off! However, it can be difficult to find the perfect eye-catching display.
The creative crafters in the Paint With Diamonds Support Group have come up with all sorts of ways to present their paintings, from homemade frames to multimedia exhibits. Here are some of our favorites!
8. This Beachy Dream
Joann Vazquez brought the beach home with this gorgeous display. “I had so much fun making this frame & am pleased with the outcome. Materials- Resin for the water, Clay Foam to make the figures, Spray Foam for the rocks, Sand from the beach. I live in Naples Fl.” Talk about fun in the sun!
7. These Full-Wall Fantasies
Regina Leslie hung her fierce jungle cat for all to see. “70x140cm, a total of 124,800 drills. My dad cut a sheet of wood to fit the picture, we glued it to the board and then he cut trim, stained it, and then stapled it around.” Those 110 hours were well worth it!
Gigantic ostriches on the wall= gigantic fun! To create this dynamic display, Samantha Sutcliffe purchased three printing canvases, nailed them together, and glued her kit on top. Her special touch? “Wide duct tape to completely cover the side. A thin blue washi tape that I placed right up to the edge of the drills to give a crisp finish☺️.” Genius!
6. This Cool Pool Cat Creation
5. This Exhibit of Love
4. These Homemade Frames
This cute little goat needed a cute little frame. Luckily, Nancy Horst-Schauer designed this perfect setting. Gorgeous work!
3. This A-Door-able Mat
2. This Creative Use Of Leftovers
1. This Simple Success
Katie McAllister figured out an inexpensive yet classy way to frame her Diamond Painting. She shares, “16 x 20 frame for about $6, placed Diamond Painting on cut to size black poster board $1, and ran black Washi Tape around the border for matting.” Proof that a great frame doesn’t have to be expensive!

I finished my first picturere of the snowman with 3 birds. Absolutely brought me joy and contentnment whe I was home with Covid Pneumonia. It took me 85 hours! but worth every second. I don’t know how or where to store this masterpiece. Im afraid if I put it in the attic with the other christmans decorations, it will become dried out and the diamonds with fall off. Also I am supposed to spray this with anything to keep the diamonds from coming off or getting dusty. I haven’t found anywhere that tells you how to take care of it for future years. Please help

Looking to see how others have framed a 5-panel piece of art. I have done 2 for my sister and son (they live in Canada) while I’ve been “stuck” down in Baja California on the Sea of Cortez. Hoping to bring them up travelling in our 5th-wheel once I’m allowed back into USA so size isn’t an issue. Can you post a picture or 2 please?
