Diamond Dot Artwork Care Guide

Congratulations on your stunning Diamond Dot Artwork from Glitz & Gems! Your piece is a labor of love and creativity, and we want to help you keep it sparkling and vibrant for years to come. Follow these detailed care instructions to protect your artwork and ensure it remains a treasured keepsake.

1. Display with Care

Your artwork deserves a special place in your home! To maintain its brilliant colors and diamond sparkle:

  • Avoid direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause the canvas and diamonds to fade over time.

  • Place the artwork in a well-lit room to highlight its sparkle without subjecting it to harsh light.

  • Avoid areas with frequent temperature changes, like near heaters, air conditioners, or windows.

2. Keep It Clean

Your diamonds will shine brightest when free from dust and dirt:

  • Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface of your artwork.

  • Do not use water, sprays, or cleaning solutions, as moisture may affect the adhesive and dull the shine of the diamonds.

  • For intricate areas, a soft makeup brush works wonderfully to dust off smaller crevices.

3. Frame It for Longevity

Framing is the best way to protect your masterpiece:

  • Choose a frame with glass or acrylic covering to shield the canvas from dust and accidental spills.

  • Make sure the glass or acrylic does not press on the diamonds, as this can dislodge them.

  • Avoid using a high-gloss finish for the cover, as it may create glare that distracts from the sparkle.

4. Protect from Heat & Humidity

Environmental factors can impact the longevity of your artwork:

  • Keep your artwork in a cool, dry environment.

  • Avoid high humidity areas like bathrooms or basements, as excess moisture can weaken the adhesive holding the diamonds in place.

  • If you notice your home is particularly humid, consider using a dehumidifier in the display area.

5. Reattach Loose Diamonds

Over time, you may find a diamond or two becomes loose—don’t worry!

  • Use a pair of fine-point tweezers to handle the diamond carefully.

  • Apply a small dot of clear craft glue to the area on the canvas, then place the diamond back into position.

  • Allow the glue to dry completely before handling or moving the artwork.

6. Safe Storage

If you’re not displaying your artwork immediately or need to store it for any reason:

  • Flat Storage: Place it in a clean, flat storage container or box to prevent creases and bends.

  • Rolled Storage: Roll the canvas gently with the diamonds facing outward and secure it loosely with a soft band.

  • Avoid stacking heavy items on top of stored artwork, as pressure can damage the diamonds or canvas.

7. Preserve the Sparkle

Diamonds are forever, but only if they’re cared for!

  • Avoid touching the diamonds directly with your fingers, as oils from your skin can dull their shine.

  • Encourage anyone handling your artwork to use clean, dry hands.

  • If your diamonds appear less sparkly over time, lightly dust the surface with a dry cloth to restore their brilliance.
