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.

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.

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.

Diamond painting is better when it is shared. Across Australia, a vibrant community of crafters connects online and in person to share tips, show off completed works, and encourage newcomers.

Paintly Kits is proud to be part of this community. We feature customer creations on our social media, share technique tutorials, and respond to every question with the kind of personal attention you would expect from a local business.

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.
