New Diamond Painting Trends for 2021

A new year brings with it some fascinating new trends in the world of diamond painting. As this hobby expands, we are seeing some changes happening for the new year. We want to share some of those with you so that you can stay on top of what is popular and get ahead of the curve within the diamond painting community.

Custom Art

One of the biggest trends we are seeing this year is an uptick in custom art. More people than ever are asking for customized diamond art to be made for them. We make this really simple to do, and our customers just need to upload a photo to our website and request that we make it into a diamond art painting for them. The custom order is processed like a typical order, and we turn their photo into a full kit, complete with diamond painting drills and everything else needed to make the picture come to life. Custom art has been trending on our site since we introduced it, and it is a service that other sites try to emulate, but we offer free shipping and no extra fees for custom diamond painting.

Custom art is the ultimate personal statement in diamond painting, as it can use any kind of personal photo. Many people request diamond paintings be made of their pets, family members or of themselves. They send us their photos and we turn them into high quality diamond art canvases, shipped in kits so that our customers will have everything they need to complete the painting in their order.

This custom painting service has proven very popular this year, and we only expect to see it become more popular as more and more people find out about it. We make it so easy to order custom diamond paintings and keep it affordable as well, and we consider this one of our best services. It is definitely one of the most popular for us.

Full Drill Canvases

We are also seeing more people ordering diamond paintings that are considered full drill. The is different from partial drill, which only covers some of the canvas with diamond painting drills slots. A partial drill canvas leave some area blank, but more people are ordering full drill paintings. We think this is due to the trend in showcasing finished diamond paintings. People are buying the diamond art to insert their diamond drills and then hang up the finished canvas for all to see. It makes sense then to get a full drill canvas that will showcase their hard work better and make the finished product look more impressive.

Of course a lot of people who complete a diamond painting are sharing their creations on social media. There is a big DIY art community on major social networks, like Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. Wherever people can share their art, they are uploading pictures of completed diamond paintings for all to see. Everyone wants to be the next trending artist, and using full drill canvases help their art to look tis best.

Feminine Paintings

Another trend for 2021 we are seeing is sales increases for more feminine artwork. The vast majority of our customers are women and young girls, and it makes sense that they will gravitate toward ordering diamond art paintings that are in line with more feminine looks or interests.

The art that is considered more feminine tends to be very colorful and expressive diamond paintings. It also includes specific categories like animals, nature, and female characters. Our customers love the large variety of diamond paintings products we have in each of these categories, giving them tons of choices to pick from.

We definitely see more feminine diamond art being sold than what might be considered d masculine art, and we ensure that our customers have a growing collection of items to shop in our online store, as we cater specifically to customer buying trends and fill our stock accordingly. As the hobby continues to grow, we expect to see more and more women and girls interested in diamond painting as a hobby.

5D Diamond Drills

We watch sales trend and how they shaped the hobby and therefore our stock selectin. One kind of diamond painting drill we have seen really take off recently is the 5D drill. The normal diamond paintings drill only feature 3 sides on each facet. In contrast, 5D diamond round and square drills have five facets on each side. That makes for a total of 15 facets, and what this does is create a sparkling, radiant picture when finished. More facets for each side mean there are more places where light reflects of the surface of the diamond drill. The finished canvas looks so sparkly and brilliant, and our customers are loving this kind of diamond drill as more of them find out about it.

Most diamond drills are 3D, and a lot of our online store is filled with 3D diamond paintings. We have a growing stock of 5D diamond paintings, though, and customer demand is definitely there. It is growing for 2021, and as more people see how the 5D diamond drills and finished paintings looking person, we think more of them will start to request and order the 5D diamond painting.

They are just so incredible to see, brilliantly reflecting light and shining from every direction. Who doesn’t want their finished diamond art painting to stand out? Choosing 5D over 3D for your diamond painting is a good way to do that.

Colorful Accessories

Another trend we have seen really take off in 2021 is customers buying a wider variety of accessories, most notably choosing colorful diamond drill pens as opposed to drab, boring ones. People love the pretty colors these pens can be made in, and it makes sense that when people show off their art online and share diamond paintings on social media that they will want to include their own diamond drill pen in the picture. If their pen is something special and not one of the standard colors and not something boring, then it will help their post to get noticed more.

This is a hobby that is very social media focused these days, so even little details like what kind of pen a person is using will be important to many enthusiasts. We know that people love pens that come in their favorite colors and that people love the individuality a colorful pen can offer.
