Diamond Painting Australia: Premium Kits with Free Shipping
Diamond painting has taken Australia by storm, and it is easy to see why. The sparkling, mosaic-like art form is relaxing, rewarding, and produces stunning results. Here is everything you need to know about shopping for diamond painting in Australia with Paintly Kits.
Why Buy Diamond Painting Kits in Australia from Paintly Kits
If you have searched for diamond painting in Australia, you have probably noticed that most sellers ship from overseas. That means long wait times, uncertain quality, and customer service that operates while you sleep. Paintly Kits offers a better path for Australian crafters.
We focus on the Australian market because we understand what local customers need. You want clear pricing in Australian dollars with GST included. You want delivery timeframes you can rely on. And you want confidence that the drills in your kit will be vibrant, uniform, and plentiful enough to finish the design without running short.
Shopping locally also means you avoid the frustration of customs delays and unexpected import fees. Every kit in our diamond painting collection ships with free standard delivery to any Australian address, whether you live in downtown Sydney or a farming town in rural Queensland.
Diamond painting originated in Asia in the early 2010s and has since become one of the fastest-growing craft hobbies in Australia, with thousands of new crafters joining the community each year.
Quality and Shipping for Diamond Painting in Australia
Quality matters enormously in diamond painting. A kit with poorly cut drills, a blurry canvas, or missing colours can turn a relaxing hobby into an exercise in frustration. At Paintly Kits, we have refined our quality standards to ensure every kit delivers a satisfying experience from start to finish.
Premium Drill Quality
Our kits use high-quality resin drills with consistent facets that catch and reflect light beautifully. Whether you choose round drills for a beginner-friendly experience or square drills for that smooth, full-coverage look, you will notice the difference in clarity and sparkle compared to cheaper alternatives.
Crystal-Clear Canvas Printing
Every canvas features a high-resolution print with clearly legible symbols and a strong adhesive layer that holds drills firmly in place. The canvas is protected with a peel-away film that keeps the adhesive fresh as you work section by section.
Generous Drill Quantities
We include approximately 20 to 30 per cent more drills than required for each colour. This buffer accounts for the occasional dropped or damaged drill and ensures you never run short before completing your masterpiece.
Metro Shipping
Orders to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra arrive within 5 to 10 business days. Free tracking included with every order.
Regional Shipping
Regional and rural Australian addresses receive orders within 8 to 15 business days. Same free shipping, same quality packaging, same tracking.
Australian-Themed Diamond Painting Designs
One of the joys of diamond painting is choosing a design that speaks to you. And for Australian crafters, there is something special about creating sparkling art that celebrates the landscapes and wildlife of home.
Native Wildlife
Koalas perched in eucalyptus trees, kookaburras on fence posts, and colourful lorikeets in flight. Australian wildlife designs are among our most popular choices. The natural colour palette of these animals, soft greys, bright greens, and vivid blues, translates beautifully into the sparkling medium of diamond painting.
Iconic Landscapes
From the red heart of Uluru to the turquoise waters of the Whitsundays, Australian landscapes offer dramatic colour contrasts that make for truly stunning diamond art. Imagine a completed Twelve Apostles or Blue Mountains scene catching the light on your living room wall.
Coastal Scenes
Beach sunsets, surf breaks, and harbour views capture the essence of Australian coastal life. These designs feature rich gradients from golden sand to deep ocean blue, and the faceted drills make water scenes shimmer in a way that flat paint simply cannot match.
If you have a specific Australian scene in mind, our custom diamond painting kits let you upload your own photograph. Turn a holiday snapshot of the Great Barrier Reef or a family photo at Bondi Beach into a one-of-a-kind diamond painting.

Getting Started with Diamond Painting: A Quick Guide for Aussies
Never tried diamond painting before? You are in for a treat. The process is simple to learn but deeply satisfying to practise. Here is a quick overview to get you started. For a more detailed walkthrough, visit our complete guide to diamond painting.
Step 1: Unpack and Organise
Open your kit and lay out all the components: canvas, drill packets, applicator pen, wax pad, and tray. Sort your drills by colour code and match them to the legend on your canvas.
Step 2: Peel a Small Section
Do not peel the entire protective film off at once. Start with a small section, about 10 cm square, to keep the adhesive fresh and dust-free as you work.
Step 3: Pick and Place
Dip the tip of your applicator pen into the wax pad, then pick up a drill and place it on the corresponding symbol on the canvas. Press gently to secure it. The satisfying click of each drill settling into place is part of the magic.
Step 4: Work Methodically
Complete one colour at a time within your exposed section, or work row by row. Find the rhythm that suits you. Many crafters find working in colour blocks to be the most efficient approach.
Step 5: Seal and Display
Once your canvas is complete, you can seal it with a clear craft sealant to lock the drills in place permanently. Then frame it or mount it on the wall to enjoy. For beginner-friendly designs, explore our diamond painting for beginners guide.
During humid Australian summers, store your unused drill packets in a cool, dry place. A zip-lock bag with a small silica gel packet keeps moisture away and prevents drills from sticking together.
Frequently Asked Questions About Diamond Painting in Australia
Do you ship diamond painting kits to all Australian states and territories?
Yes, we ship to every state and territory in Australia, including NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT, and the Northern Territory. All orders include free standard shipping and tracking. Metro areas typically receive orders within 5 to 10 business days, while regional and remote areas may take 8 to 15 business days.
What is the difference between round and square drills?
Round drills are easier to pick up and place, making them ideal for beginners. They leave tiny gaps between each drill, giving the finished piece a slightly softer, cross-stitch-like appearance. Square drills fit together smoothly like a mosaic, creating a fuller, more detailed finish. They require a bit more precision to align but produce stunning results. Both types are available in our diamond painting collection.
How long does a diamond painting kit take to complete?
Completion time depends on the canvas size and your pace. A small 30x30 cm kit might take 8 to 12 hours, while a large 40x50 cm design could take 20 to 40 hours. Most crafters work in sessions of one to two hours, spreading the project over several weeks. The extended timeline is part of the appeal, giving you a relaxing activity to return to each evening.
Can I create a custom diamond painting from my own photo?
Yes. Our custom diamond painting kits let you upload any photograph and we will convert it into a fully designed diamond painting canvas with matched drills. Family portraits, pet photos, holiday snaps, and Australian landscape shots all work beautifully. Custom kits ship within the same timeframes as our standard collection and include free delivery.
How should I display my finished diamond painting?
You have several options. You can frame the canvas in a standard picture frame or a floating frame for a gallery look. Some crafters mount the canvas on foam board and hang it without a frame. Before displaying, we recommend sealing the surface with a clear craft sealant to prevent drills from loosening over time. Hang your piece away from direct sunlight to preserve the colours and sparkle.
