5D Diamond Painting Kit, DIY Diamond Painting Hot Air Balloon for Adults Round Full Drill Embroidery Paintings Rhinestone Pasted Diamond Pictures Arts Craft for Home Wall Decor Gifts for Kids

I enjoy working on diamond paintings with hot air balloon landscapes. They are colorful and interesting to work on, especially this one with all of the colors. Don't expect a photo realistic end project when it is completed. The finished project will look impressionistic but the image lends itself well to that. I love to work on these while listening to audio books or music. I like that this one uses all capital letters for the symbols which are usually easier to distinguish while working on a project.I would put the patience level (or skill level) at INTERMEDIATE due to the size of the canvas which is average medium sized relative to the number of colors to apply. This canvas only has 24 colors which is average for a canvas this size. You can put longer rows of the same color down if you get those tools to do so (a six drill head is included in this set) but you will be still single dotting many places, of course. I'd recommend getting a head to let you put three and/or six diamonds down at a time to get through the large same color areas faster. Everything you absolutely need to do this project comes in the kit.My general thoughts about diamond painting: First, always examine your diamond painting upon receipt to make sure the glue on the canvas reaches all edges of the picture. If it's not, order a replacement. This is a rare issue and didn't happen with this canvas, thankfully, but it's the first critical step to any project. Diamond painting is a relaxing activity for me, takes the best parts of puzzle solving and cross stitching and puts them in one activity. End result--you get artwork if you want to use it. Of course, I seem to be making more art than I can realistically use but at the price for one of these kits, it's cheap therapy. I got a portfolio case to store the canvases before and after doing them to keep them flat. The image details of course are not as sharp as the photo, but make a pointillist painting with sparkle. I love pointillism and impressionism art styles and so I really enjoy these on many levels.

It has everything that is needed to complete the painting , the pencil, the tack , and all of the little diamonds. I love the stickiness of the paper it helps a lot to get a successful piece of art.

Love the balloons and quality is good. Very fun to do.
