This easy DIY craft tutorial shows you how to make a sparkling notebook cover using a finished diamond painting canvas: perfect notebook glow-up for back-to-school flair.
First, gather your supplies:
- Your finished Diamond Dotz® diamond painting kit canvas
- Dotz® Stick brush-on adhesive
- Paint brush
- Scissors
- Notebook
Trim the edges of your diamond painting canvas using a pair of scissors. You’ll want to trim off the color key, and any other printed information like the name of the design, the Diamond Dotz® logo, etc. We used the Honey Pot Bear diamond painting design because it's so cute!
Turn your diamond painting canvas over and squirt some of the Dotz® Stick brush-on adhesive onto the back side of the canvas. Don’t apply too much.
Use the paint brush to brush the Dotz® Stick onto the canvas using even brush strokes. The Dotz® Stick adhesive should cover the back of the canvas in a consistent manner.
Let the Dotz® Stick dry until it is slightly tacky to the touch, and then position it on the cover of your notebook. Smooth the diamond painting in place with your hands until you’re satisfied with its placement.
