Diamond Painting Shop review · updated 2026-11-14
Most diamond painting kits ship with a pen that rolls off the table and a tray that spills. Paint By Dot sells the fix. Their multi-placer tips place three or four drills at once, the ergonomic grips are a genuine improvement for long sessions, and the stackable trays click together so you can work with eight colours out instead of two. They also stock light pads and canvases, but the tools are the reason to visit. Shipping is prompt and the packaging is sensible. If you have already finished two or three pieces, this is the natural next purchase.
Shop profiles are scored on the four things crafters notice within a week of a parcel arriving: delivery against the stated estimate, completeness of drill bags, whether the canvas ships rolled or folded, and whether the finished piece resembles the listing photograph. Reviews are from crafters who bought a kit for themselves or as a gift. We separate complaints about product from complaints about logistics, because the two fix very different problems.
Prices, minimums and shipping terms change frequently. Treat the figures above as an indication and confirm current terms with the business directly. Read the full review methodology.
My daughter picked this one out and it kept her busy for days. Printing is sharp enough that a 40 by 50 canvas does not look pixelated. This is how a kit should arrive.
Ordered on Thursday evening and the parcel was on my table on Saturday. Instructions were short but genuinely clear, which is all a beginner needs. Simple, complete and on time.
Arrived a week late and I had to buy a different present instead. Delivery took three weeks rather than the five to seven days advertised. I would buy the drills separately next time.
Two of the three kits were perfect and one was not. It is a 40 by 50 canvas sold as large, which is optimistic. Would not repeat, but I can see why others like it.
Replacement drills arrived free after I emailed about a colour I had spilled. The canvas arrived rolled rather than folded, so there was no crease to iron out. Would happily gift this to a friend.
Say what you bought or ordered, what arrived, and whether you would do it again. Specific detail is more useful than a score on its own. Reviews are published unedited apart from length.
Paint By Dot sells to individual crafters, and readers rate it 4.0/5 across 5 reviews. Delivery typically runs 4-10 days.
Check the drill bags against the canvas legend before you start. Short bags are the most common fault in the category and most shops will replace them if you report it early.
Kits normally include a pen, tray and wax. A light pad and a second tray make a real difference on canvases above 40 x 50cm.
