Product Information
Full details
The Diamond Dotz Koi Mosaic kit is a rewarding project designed for adult crafters looking to create stunning, diamond-like mosaic art. This intermediate-level kit provides all necessary materials, including over 12,000 pre-sorted resin facets, to produce a vibrant, 41cm x 41cm finished piece. While the high bead count ensures a rich, detailed texture, it is important to note that the project requires significant time and patience, making it a long-term commitment rather than a quick afternoon craft.

FAQs
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
While listed as an intermediate kit due to the complexity and size, the clear instructions make it accessible for motivated beginners.
Do I need to buy extra glue?
No, the fabric is pre-coated with high-quality adhesive. No extra glue is required.
How long does it take to finish?
Completion time varies by individual, but with over 12,000 diamonds, it is intended to be a long-term project.
Can I leave the project halfway through?
Yes, simply recover the exposed adhesive with the original protective film to keep it clean and sticky.
Are the colors on the fabric easy to read?
Yes, the printing is high-resolution, making the color-coded grid symbols distinct and easy to follow.
Troubleshooting
Diamonds are not sticking to the canvas
Ensure the fabric is free of lint or dust. If the adhesive seems dry, try pressing the diamond down firmly with the stylus for an extra second.
Stylus is not picking up diamonds
Check your wax caddy. Ensure the tip of the stylus is fully embedded into the wax to create a strong enough bond to lift the gems.
Canvas has creases from packaging
Lay the canvas flat on a table and place heavy books on top for 24 hours. The creases will typically flatten out on their own.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, durable materials ensure a professional finish
- Ergonomic stylus design promotes comfortable, long-term crafting
- Pre-sorted diamonds significantly reduce setup time
- Large, impressive 41cm x 41cm finished artwork
- Detailed, high-contrast imagery creates a bold visual impact
Cons
- Intermediate skill level may be challenging for total beginners

- Finished artwork needs to be purchased separately if framing is desired
Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Clear a flat, well-lit surface. Peel back only a small section of the protective film on the fabric to begin. Pour a small amount of one color into the craft tray.
- Compatibility: While this kit is self-contained, you may choose to purchase a standard 41cm x 41cm frame once finished to display your art permanently.
- Care: Keep the kit away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can affect the longevity of the adhesive. If your diamonds get dusty, you can gently wipe the finished surface with a slightly damp cloth, but avoid using household cleaners or harsh chemicals.
