Hello friends!
Welcome to a basic, beginner-friendly tutorial for how to seal a completed diamond painting. My process is pretty quick and simple, and my favorite part is that it doesn't dull the sparkle and shine of my diamond paintings! This is the perfect way to protect your canvas from losing any diamonds that are prone to popping or falling off, and works whether you're planning to display your painting or store it away.
Note: For some diamond painting companies, sealing your diamond painting may void the warranty. If this is something that you're worried about (which, once you've completed your kit, you may not be) be sure to check the warranty information for your particular kit.

The tip for using a rolling pin was perfect. My #2 gifted diamond art was square drills, and when completed I put parchment paper over the top and used my rolling pin and what a difference….yes I heard the crunch and the drills all flat. I am 79…learning new things.
I already had some of this Minwax and your video convinced me to try it! It dried so fast and I saw absolutely no dulling of the sparkle of the drills, even the ABs. Thanks for the video!
I am new at diamond painting. I've used Dura Clear gloss varnish. I love it for all kinds of crafts. I've sealed 3 total with it. It's really good stuff. It doesn't have a smell. It cleans up with water and soap. It is thinner than the brand you use. I watched a couple tutorials using it before I tried it so I knew it would work, I was happy to see it as a sealer. :)
I am one of those people who religiously use the Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid glue haha 🤣 I loved how your kit turned out after sealing it. It really looks exactly the same after the glue has dried! I definitely will try this type of glue out someday. Thanks for making this Katie! 💕✨
Thanks Katie for a wonderful and helpful video! Best regards from Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada
Thank you endlessly for this excellent tutorial video. I was only diamond painting about 3 weeks when I undertook a rather ambitious crystal canvas project. As a beginner, this was probably not a good idea. But! I got through it and the result was stunning -except for the popping crystals that stuck to my palm every time I ran my hand across it 🤦♀️I did exactly what you said and the canvas is now sealed and ready for framing and my anxiety level plummeted. Thank you again. You’re a great teacher and I love love love your channel ❤
Thank you so much for doing this video. I had just completed a full Crystal painting for drills and chills and was wondering what I could do to keep them on the canvas. This video is so helpful and informative.
Thank you. Ive been seeing doffere t videos of this sealer and wanted to try it. I think I will now.
Any varnish eventually goes yellow, would never use it on diamond paintings
Thanks for sharingthis Katie. I have used this before with other kits but was unsure of how it would do on crystals and now I know it will work fine. Have a great week.
I ruined a diamond painting with Mod Podge. Please, don't use that.
I feel so bad for you. Truly, I do. I would be crying if I accidentally ruined my diamond art paintings. I bet you worked hard on it since diamond art paintings require patients - especially the really large ones.
Yeah I find that mod podge isn't a good sealer.. I tried sealing a puzzle and it looked terrible 😕
@@ariellewilson730 It was a Christmas gift for my sister. Fortunately, it was a smaller one, so I ordered another one and worked hard to redo it and I was able to meet the deadline. All went well and she loves it. I appreciate your kindness in sending this comment to me.
I did too, trying Lanbiede now
Can’t stand Mod Podge for sealer. I used it on my first set of coasters and they always feel sticky. I found something after a few other tries and found one on Amazon in a blue bottle, Mereido
Great video! New sub here and just started my first diamond painting. Thanks for all the good info. 🥰
Hello I have just watched your video. Thank you for showing all of us on how to seal a diamond painting. I'm wondering if I seal coaster I have gotten in a kit if the heat of the cups would be a no no with a sealer on it. I'm wondering what your thoughts on this are. So I need advice. Thanks in advance.
I dont find the rolling pin worked at all 😕 had to "pop" the loose drills into place one by one
I’m sorry! Sometimes it helps if I make sure my kit is on a completely flat and firm surface, but it doesn’t always work.
Hi Katie, thanks for the tip about Minwax for sealing paintings. Surprisingly, I found it in a spray can. It works wonderfully. My painting still sparkles and does not seem to dull it at all. The spray can is super easy and no clean up.
Hello Katie,
Thank you....I also seal diamond paintings that need to be with this type of sealer you used in the video. 🎃😃🦋
Thank you for your video! I am new to diamond painting and am totally fascinated. Your video really helped me want to dive deeper and see what else is possible, thank you so much.
Thank you for this! So...Would you recommend THIS or the polyurethane for sealing the diamond coasters?
*Hello, I'm your 199th Thumbs up. I'm New to Diamond painting and looking for others to learn from. My husband kept saying the same thing about wiping the finished Drills off. I just bought some of that Minnwax & a nice brush. Great Share.😍😍😍* Sharon in SC
Excuse my ignorance in DIamond Painting minutiae but... a WARRANTY? What is there to warranty against? It's not like it's a refrigerator from Home Depot.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m off to find all of your tutorials for a newbie! My first diamond painting project was a set of coasters in various mandala patterns. I wanted to be sure I liked the craft before doing the side of my house! 🤣 Having lots of fun with this new craft.
I've been wanting to try crystals instead of their "diamonds". Can you or anyone tell me where you get our canvas?
Very Helpful.. Thank you!
Hi..im from malaysia..im learning this new art...I hv a question..u are brushing using this product..would the shining of the rhine stone will decrease?tq
Yay! So happy! I was hoping you would do a sealing video and review on this one ! It is one of my favorite ones you completed during your event . Gotta love some crystals!
Thank you for this demo. That is the sealer I use. It has never dulled the finish for me. But if you do 2 coats it does get stiff but I don't roll after sealing. ♥️🎃♥️
Have you had an issue with diamonds popping off at a later date after using two coats?
@@Love4allpets no all of them have stayed on so far.
@@karentaylor83 Thank you so much, I just started doing them. Or I should say started working on one for the first time. I was given a small cheap one from my aunt it didn’t have hardly any detail but I had lots of fun. Those diamonds have been popping off. And I just wanted to make sure I had something I could do for the big one I’m working on!
I know you can pick up the Minwax in a hardware store as I have bought it there, but for other art projects. Thank you for the information as I had been wondering about sealers, reading about various products. The best piece of advice was about the DAC kits, as I had read something about all paintings should be sealed before hanging. This, evidently, is not true, so thanks for pointing that out.
New subscriber. I'm so glad I found your channel. My son sent me a diamond kit for Christmas, and I'm so anxious to begin my project. Joyous blessings, everyone.
I definitely needed this video! I’ve only ever sealed two diamond paintings that I mailed, I used spray mod podge and the smell was horrible I do not recommend!! 😂
Love Minwax although I use the Minwax One Coat polyurethane. Works great too! And I've sealed several of my crystal kits as well. 🙂
Katie, Thank you so much for showing how to seal the crystal drill canvases. I just got my first two from Crystal Canvas Art Designs today. I’m very excited to work on one and now I know how to seal it.🤗🙂 I love watching your videos. I learn something every time. Have a wonderful day and take care.🙂🌞🎃
Thank you so much for doing this as it really helps me decide what to do since I am working on a Crystal Canvas also. I think I will seal it when finished as it is a gift for someone and I would hate to have the crystal fall off. Glad to know it did not dull the crystals as they are so shiny. I checked in with "One With the Diamond Art" and was amazed at how many of Josephine Wall's that they have now ( not all are available for US) . I totally love her art, she has one called "Dragon Dancer" that is amazing but so far only available in England or Ireland,
Thank you for sharing....you solved my problem with my rhinestone painting...coz the stone keeps falling off
This alone will cause your painting to get crispy. So when u fold it it will Crack. But I made my own cocktail of mixer with 1/3 this minwax 1/8 clear glue I have a huge gallon that I just had here. And then 1/3-1/4 water n mix. It will be really watery but milky like breast milk of like skim milk lol. But i only use for rounds to cure the sticky parts inbrtween so that dirt n cat hair don't stick. But good luck. I played with a bunch of diff sealers. And things
Also with the mixture I made myself I can roll my paintings back up n they don't get stiff
And I'm not really sure how much I mixed of what(like the amounts of each). I just know I mixed minwax n clear glue n water. N made it more of a thin consistency
Love this cocktail, what brand of clear glue do you use? I has also tried several things and don’t like any of them
@@anythingdiamondart8658 I'd love to know your exact cocktail as well, since I really need to be able to roll it and won't want it to crack
If I am framing my panting should I still seal it?
Waw that's great. I want to start doing diamond painting but I was wondering if it's possible to sell the diamond paintings we finish?
I got my Minwax from Hobby Lobby!
When they say crystal drills, is it actual crystal pieces? Or the usual plastic? All of this terminology I didn't know existed 😂
Hi! I'm switching from Mod Podge to Polycrylic. What size paintbrush are you using? And what kind of bristles? I was just using a sponge brush with the mod podge, but I definitely want a brush but not sure what kind. Thank you for your great videos.
I love to way this is done and not expensive. A question Do you have any tips to get the little static dots out of the bags and not go all over the place?
Rub the inside of your Jars or whatever you use with a fabric softener sheet
Would clear nail polish work?
What does everyone do with their diamond paintings once they're finished? I've done about a dozen (large because I like detail) and have no clue what to do with them.
I haven't experienced yellowing with mod podge but I do add water to it. I did add this to my Amazon cart I really want to try it. 🥰 Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making this video ❤❤
What do you sue to clean the brush after using the Minwax sealer? I'm new to Diamond Painting and want to avoid dust (construction going on in my area causing excessive dust). I know some of these sealers require solvents to clean the brushes (?). Thanks for any info!
Were you able to remove the tape around the edges?
Was wondering can I use this to adhere to a canvas or do I need to use something else ?
You can but use a spray adhesive works best .
I wasn't sure if I could seal one. I just googled it because I have 2 dogs and a cat. I already have to constantly pick hair out lol and didn't want that to happen if I hung it up not to mention like you said dust and what not. So glad I found your video right away. Helped make the decision to seal it like 1000x easier for me. I do have 1 question that maybe you've answered in other videos but do you leave the washi tape on the edges if you frame it like a canvas or in a picture frame. The sticky edges drive me bonkers. I have just masking tape on it right now while I finish the painting but I don't know what to do about them when I get to the point of hanging or framing it. Does washi tape last? Is there a better way to do it? Could I just coat the minwax over the edges a bit to cover that stickiness?
Sorry if this is a noob question, but what is the washi tape for? Is it to hold the canvas together, decorative, or both? I’m very new. Thanks!
It's to cover the glilue around the edges so you don't stick to your canvas
@@alicehill4999 Ah, got it. Thanks! 😃
Thank you for the tip. Just put two coats of Minwax polycrylic on my 2nd diamond art project…happy to say it still sparkles. Some crystals came off while painting.My first one with mod podge gloss lost the sparkle, but was shiny and still beautiful!
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! I have done a few diamond paintings to date and for me sealing is a must because of my birds. However I had no idea how to go about it and it had me frustrated to no end. Thank you so much for demonstrating the technique and also pointing out some details to take into consideration.
I used the Minwax spray yesterday, and the smell is horrid. Is the smell of the brush on a bit lighter? I still have my diamond painting on my balcony.
Intrigued and interesting you're using sealer from hardware stores than expensive ones online 😅😅😅
Hi Katie. I have only needed to seal 1 diamond painting and I used Mod Podge. I will try this next time. I have completed a few of the newer CCAD canvases and have not had a problem with the glue. I have been able to roll them up to take with me with no issues. Maybe the newer kits have different glue? Thank you for sharing!
Bought some today as I have a crystal Star Oar painting to seal. Thanks for the tutorial.
I have been using a gloss tile and grout sealer since 2020. I buy in a one litre tub from hardware and it works great. I started using the tile and grout sealer because I live in Australia and it is hard to purchase the same products other countries use, as shipping costs, and financial conversion costs mean that the products you use are quite outrageous for us Aussies, so I found my own alternative which works well. No beads pop, and finish looks fantastic.
Where is the best place to buy diamond painting kits beside temu
I didn't know they made crystal DP. 😂 I'll have to check these out.
You can also use compressed air to help clean it before. You would make sure to hold the can at a distance from the picture but that does help.
I’m new to this art form …. How long would it take to complete a picture of this size?
Thank you so much for posting this cause I’m currently working on an all crystals canvas and was wondering if it would dull the diamonds
Too many words...
would Acrylic Liquid Medium work by chance?
Thank you for sharing. Appreciate your time. Peace and love abide with you 💕
I used the min wax on my diamond painting and was very pleased with the outcome!
Would this work for Diamond art coasters to make them functional?
Would you seal a canvas before or after you mount it onto a wood canvas stretcher?
Where do you find that particular sealer & can you use that on any diamond art painting?
You can find that polycrylic at most retail stores that sell paint. Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes.
@@stirrednotshaken4823 Thank you 😊
Hello from San Antonio! Love your channel!
How do you clean your brushes
Would this work for sealing coasters?
Ik wil leuk
Hi washi after you finish your painting is there places you can get to frame it
Picture doesn't sparkle really well 😢😢😢
Hi I am new to diamond painting. I got some glue from Michael’s store. I used it on my keychains that I was making and it’s very tacky so you can’t use the keychains. What can I do to keep from being so sticky? Thanks for anybody’s help.
A good spray sealant over the top should take care of it! You can also try wiping it down with rubbing alcohol to see if it removes the tackiness
Where can I find that pumpkin picture???
How different is it from other pictures , I am confused
Thanks for sharing thus video. Very helpful!
Who did you get this DP? It's beautiful
Thanks for this video! I always wondered how to seal a diamond painting but haven’t needed to seal one!
I have a DP that is not fully drills so I am trying to decide if I should seal the whole canvas not just the drills. Not sure how I would cleanly get the just the drills sealed without pooling over to the rest of the picture. Any recommendations?
Hmm, that's a tough question. For what it's worth, I didn't find that the sealer I used in this video pooled and spread past the edge of the drill field, so maybe if you carefully did a pretty light layer, maybe with a smaller brush at the edges, it wouldn't be an issue?
Also, if you aren't running into issues with the drills falling off, you don't necessarily have to seal your painting. Just a thought!
Too much talking not enough showing!
Yeah I use that one to to seal my diamond painting from amazon
What are your thoughts on the stick.? Thank you.
Thanks for the tutorial! Your crystals are so uniform
Thanks for the very informative video. I am working on "Rhapsody in Rose" right now, about half way done, and it is also slippery in places. I am definitely going to try the Minwax on it! It is very large, 31.5" X 23.6", square drill, my 1st square drill, and it's much more difficult for me than the round drills. There's 76,800 drills on this one. It's so big it's difficult to work on, even at my dining room table. I want to ensure that NONE of the drills ever come off and I really like this method you showed.
I also bought Rhapsody in Blue to go with it. I got this one in ROUND DRILLS so it would be easier to work with! It is also 31.5" X 23.6' with 61,204 drills. I will most likely use Minwax on this too. Both of these are for our upcoming new home, in which we plan to do a new modular or buy a ranch and renovate it within the next year. These, I think, will make great entryway pieces.
What do you think?
How it is your work now?I hope it is beautiful!
Are you able to clean and reuse the brush?
I'm wondering the same thing
That was very helpful thank you.
Great information! Thank you Katie.
Love your videos....
Thank you for this.
How would you seal a coaster set
Hmm… good question. I would probably try a similar method and product as the one in this video, to be honest!
That is gorgeous!
It is gorgeous!!!!
Love it
Great tutorial 😊
Beautiful!
Thanks for this! I’m new to diamond painting and about to finish my first canvas.
Thank you Katie. I have just finished my diamond painting and the drills are slipping around. Your tutorial has been very helpful just going to search for the sealer you use
I just used Mod Podge to seal one of my diamond paintings because the drills felt loose in spots. I now have bubbles in between some of the drills even though I used a brush. I think I will try this next. Thanks for the video.
