BEFORE YOU START

A few things that make it easier.

Don't peel the whole canvas at once.

Work in small sections. It keeps the canvas clean, stops the diamonds from sticking where they shouldn't, and makes the whole thing feel much less overwhelming.

STEP BY STEP

Tiny diamonds. One step at a time.

Peel plastic film

01

Peel a small section

Pick a canvas and peel back the protective film. Save the film for later use when taking a break.

Pick a code

02

Find your colour

Pick a code from the canvas, find the associated diamonds packet, and empty it out on the tray.

Push pen into wax

03

Load your applicator

Push the tip of the applicator tool into the wax to make it sticky and pick up the diamonds.

Place gem on corresponding code

04

Pick, place, press

Pick up a diamond and place it on the corresponding symbol on the canvas and lightly press down to secure.

Empty and label reusable bag

05

Keep going

Repeat the steps with each code. When you're done, pour the remaining diamonds back into the resealable bag.

Frame your work

06

Frame & display

Turn your completed diamond painting into a work of art by framing it. Showcase your creativity for all to admire.

A step-by-step tutorial for getting started.

TIPS & TRICKS

Things we wish someone told us.

Work in small sections instead of uncovering the entire canvas.
Good lighting makes matching symbols much easier.
Keep your diamonds in the tray while you're working.
If a diamond looks upside down, don't panic. Just turn it around.
Taking a break? Cover your canvas before you walk away.
Don't worry about making it perfect. The little imperfections are part of making it yourself.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

All the good stuff.

Your canvas, wool and hook are ready. Now it's just you and a little bit of looping.

  • Pre-printed latch hook canvas
  • Pre-cut wool strands
  • Latch hook tool
  • Colour reference guide
  • Instruction manual
Everything included in the Floral Latch Hook Pillow Kit

BEFORE YOU START

Give yourself a minute to get the hang of it.

The first 5–10 minutes might feel awkward.

That's completely normal. Give yourself a little time to get used to the movement. Once you get it, you'll get it.

STEP BY STEP

Loop. Pull. Repeat.

Latch hook step 1

01

Pick a colour

Choose a colour from your design and grab one piece of the pre-cut wool.

Latch hook step 2

02

Load the wool

Fold the wool in half and place the folded section around the latch hook.

Latch hook step 3

03

Go under one mesh bar

Push the hook through the canvas from front to back, going under one mesh bar.

Latch hook step 4

04

Catch the wool

Keep the folded part of the wool behind the mesh and place the two loose ends into the hook.

Latch hook step 5

05

Close & pull

Pull the hook back through the mesh. The latch closes around the wool as you pull it through.

Latch hook step 6

06

Keep going

Give the wool a gentle tug to settle it into place, then repeat until your design starts filling in.

TIPS & TRICKS

Things we wish someone told us.

Give yourself 5–10 minutes to get used to the movement.
Your canvas is already colour coded, so use it as your guide.
Don't worry about making it perfect. Your first few knots might look a little wonky.
Work in whichever section feels easiest and take breaks whenever you want.
Put on something you like listening to and settle in.
Once you're done, gently run a lint roller over the surface to pick up any small, loose wool fibres.
Trim any longer wool strands so the surface sits at an even height and looks nice and level.
