Why do tiger and diamond painting go so well together?
With a tiger, the stripe pattern does the work that many other subjects have to build up slowly: the image stands out immediately. The contrast between orange and black is so clear that even the first few rows of drills start to look like an animal. In diamond painting, this works especially well because the reflective surface sharpens the colour boundaries even further — the finished piece looks crisper than a flat print.
As a project, a tiger is well-balanced: the striped areas progress logically thanks to the clear pattern, and the face or background still has enough variation to hold your interest. On the wall, a tiger is not a subtle choice, and that is the point. The finished work looks best when it gets its own space rather than blending into a neutral row of frames.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my kit is missing drills?
First check the bags and tray, because single drills often stay in them. If a colour is genuinely missing, keep the DMC code or bag number and request the missing drills separately. It is a common issue and usually easy to fix.
How do I keep the drill rows straight?
Work in small sections and straighten the rows while you are still working, using tweezers or a straightening tool if needed. If too much drift builds up before you correct it, the final cleanup is harder.
What should I do if the wax in the pen stops picking up drills properly?
Press a new small amount of wax into the pen tip. If you use too much, the tip becomes messy and sticky. A small clean amount usually works best.
How do I protect the adhesive canvas while working?
Keep the protective cover in place and peel back only the section you are doing right now. That keeps dust, hair and fingerprints off the rest of the canvas and helps the adhesive stay in better condition.
