Painting by Numbers Expert shows you how you can stay relaxed and creative on the go with smart tools, handy storage systems and a few practical tips. Because Diamond Painting is no longer just something for the kitchen table!
1. Provide good lighting
Good light is indispensable for Diamond Painting – even on the road. Because daylight or bright lights are not available everywhere, we recommend a portable LED light plate on. It is lightweight, flat and fits effortlessly in your bag or suitcase.
The plate illuminates your canvas from below, allowing you to see the symbols better - ideal for places such as trains, cafes or hotel rooms.
2. Sturdy storage box for your stones
The bags you get with your set are useful at home, but less soreliable when traveling. To prevent stones from being lost, a sturdy storage case with screw pots a smart investment.
Our cases with 30 or 60 jars keep your diamonds safely in place, provide an overview and prevent spills. Before leaving, check that all lids are properly secured - this will keep everything neatly in place.
3. Puzzle mat: the perfect protection for your canvas
Taking a partially finished canvas with you is difficult – especially in large formats. A simple solution is a puzzle mat, as you also use it for jigsaw puzzles.
Place your canvas with the back side facing in, make sure the protective film is properly in place and carefully roll up the mat. Secure it with the supplied straps or Velcro - so your work remains protected, without wrinkles or loose stones.
4. Take a smaller project with you – handy for on the road
Is your current canvas very large? Then choose a smaller project for the road. The more compactyour design, the easier it is to take with you – without needing a lot of extra stuff.
Hint: Many Diamond Painting designs are also available in mini format, making them perfect for on the go, a short break or a creative break in between.
Conclusion: Whether you're going on vacation, on a business trip or just spending an afternoon in the park – with the right preparation you can enjoy your hobby anywhere. The tips from Painting by Numbers Expert help you stay creative on the go – without stress, with lots of fun.
5 practical tips for stress-free traveling with Diamond Painting
Want your creative journey to go smoothly? In addition to the previous tips, we have a few additional suggestions for good preparation and planning:
1. Choose the correct format
Consider in advance whether the design you want to take with you is practical on the road. Small to medium-sized sets (such as 20x20 cm or 30x40 cm) are ideal: they take up little space and still provide a beautiful result.
2. Use resealable bags for small parts
Small ziplock bags are ideal for accessories such as wax cubes, pens, tweezers or labels. This way you have everything at hand and you don't have to search through your luggage.
3. Prepare your colours
Are you working on a specific part of the canvas along the way? Then it is usually sufficient to only take the corresponding colours. Sort them in advance and label your jars properly - this saves time and space.
4. Protect vulnerable parts with soft material
Use a cloth or foam rubber to wipe delicate parts to provide extra protection for parts of your canvas or storage box. This prevents pressure points or damage, especially in a suitcase.
5. Take a digital photo of your design
Take a photo of the entire design or worksheet before departure. Will the paper sample be lost or damaged? Then you can always fall back on your digital version - even without internet!
