You can find these online although some well-stocked craft stores may also carry them. Each brand will be a little different, but most kits will contain the following: a pre-printed canvas, flat-backed diamonds also known as drills, a tray, a pen-like tool, and a packet of gel or wax. The canvas is composed of tiny boxes that are colored and labeled with numbers, letters and/or symbols, much like a cross-stitch canvas. Each symbol corresponds to a diamond color. The symbols are written on a chart, with the corresponding bag and drill color written below or next to it. The chart is typically printed on the side of the canvas. If the canvas won't lay flat, roll it back the other way, then unroll it. Spread it down onto a flat surface, then secure the edges with masking tape. This project can be time consuming. Consider taping the canvas to a board, which you can move out of the way easily. Choose a box to start with and note the symbol in it. Match the symbol on the canvas with the chart, then find the bag with the same symbol. Gently shake the tray to settle the drills and set them upright. Some kits come with multiple trays. You can use the other trays for the other colors in that section.
