Deciding on an Image
Deciding on an image probably the hardest part deciding if you have enough diamonds for it and so on.
Since most of my diamonds are pink I decided to do a rose. If your like me and not very creative and cant just make one out of a hat you can simply look up pixel ____
I found myself this rose

Tape
Now this is tricky... my tape is kinda evil...
Gently place the tape down if yours is like mine and has a layer of paper between it its probably a good idea to keep it to cover your painting if you wanna take a break. *remember only one side of this will work the other side will stick to it i don't understand it but it is like this.
Hints
-if you have bubbles take a box cutter or other sharp knife and gently cut the bubble this lets the air out and flattens it
- size? Umm not sure its probably best to make your double sided tape area bigger? *sorry this whole thing is an experiment i am still gonna post if it does not work

Time to Drill
Now this is the... not perfect
But i start in the middle holding the drill pen straight up in a verticle position careful not to rub your arm or hand on the tape.
Hints
- My tape does not leave room for errors so be very careful *yours may not be as weird as mine
- shaky hands? May be a better idea to draw a small graph lines on it before you tape it

Finishing
Welp.... I was finished off with a pink blob yay..... but I had fun thats the important thing!
I think i liked mine better when it was just outer lines of the rose.... as i colored it the more blob like it got XD
Hints?
- like i said earlier maybe make graph lines on it so you dont end up with diamonds all over while you try to do a straight line
-something you can try is drawing an image with a digital art app to create what you are trying first see if it turns out.... maybe... or design something like this?
- Blobs
- you doing this for a kid? You can probably just give them the blank taped piece and let them have fun with it
Did you try this? Please shaee your image i would love to see!

Trying Again
Its always been engrained in my brain you dont like it try again! *but take a break so you don't get frustrated I went out and attempted to transplant something...
After your break come back to it and try again if you made a failure like me. You probably have a good amount of diamonds i do... so much E.....
Anyways with this one i just went with it. Its a wip right now the sky will be pink the grass light green there may be a m bird in the sky.... oWo
NOTES
- Cover with parchment paper if you take a break (wait others may have a different tape adhesive... experiment i found wax paper did NOT work waxy side was down nope. Plastic wrap a big no no....)
