This book is a must have for all diamond painters, beginners and advanced alike. Jennifer goes to great detail to explain every step from beginning to finish as well as what accessories are available and where to get them. I deem myself an expert in the craft but I couldn't wait to order this book in hard copy so I bought the digital copy first and then bought the hard copy once it was released. This book will forever be referred to as "The Diamond Painters Bible"!

Finally found the directions!

I bought a kit to make a wind chime. I opened it and was lost. I had a plastic picture to "paint" with very small beads, some chain, chimes, beads, a small tray, and a pink stick. The only directions were for construction of the chime after the picture was done. I did find very basic info on the site I ordered from, but nothing on what to do to preserve it. Finding this book was the answer to all my questions. The author went all the way from opening the box to what to do to make it last. Everything was very clear and included pictures and resources. I am close to finishing the first half of the chime and I am no longer worried that it will fall apart and will look amazing forever. I highly recommend this book. It was a tremendous help for me.

Excellent resource for a DP newbie like me

Discovered Diamond Painting while browsing on Amazon and was intrigued by all of the different designs and after doing a little research decided to give it a go. As with most things in life, you don't know what you don't know, but when I started looking for information, all I found were log books to keep track of one's DP's ...which is why I was so happy when I discovered this book. It is filled with so much useful and relevant info, I am confident I am going to enjoy my new found hobby so much more now.

Some very basic instructions most of which are self explanatory. I like to make DP cards as well as coasters which I would have liked to have seen included in the book as well as projects with the leftover beads.
