Diamond Painting

[mrsguest]

I don't know if anyone is into it or even heard of it - but diamond painting is taking tiny stones and sticking them to a canvas to make a picture out of the thousands of tiny stones, it keeps your hands SUPER busy! 

I love doing it to keep me distracted from smoking, just a suggestion if you're into that sort of thing

Just Google it if you'd like more info or I would be happy to point you toward my favorite site! 

I've done at least 5 and that's before I even quit smoking! I never smoked while doing them.

It sounds like bedazzling but on canvas

[mrsguest]

It is like bedazzling but smaller! 

I will post some pics tomorrow. They're in the room & hubby is asleep I don't want to wake him

I snuck in and got one lol - a cow I did months ago. . . and the unicorns I am working on right now.

Those are awesome! It's like cross stitch or paint by numbers but with stones. Very cool

Welcome to Quit Train Mrsguest! That is a great idea to help distract you from the urge to smoke. Keeping your mind distracted and your hands busy is important! Use every tool in the box when quitting

I started a panda but lost one of the colours so it is not finished .....it's fun to do and certainly fiddly enough to keep your brain and hands free.
