In Diamond Painting, you will often come across the terms “Square Drill and “Round Drill”. It is just another term for “diamond.” It refers to the shape of each individual diamond you’ll be applying to your canvas.

It’s important to understand that there’s no correct answers in choosing between round and square drill. You should just choose whichever shape you personally think is most beautiful.

Square drills will be able to have cleaner picture since they fit together nicely with no gaps while it also can have fuller and more complete looking image.

This oddly satisfying pleasure of the “snap” sound is one of the features most talked about when the diamond painting is close to finish.

Round diamonds are recommended and preferred by beginners is because they are easier to pick up with the diamond pen and faster to place, making the process seamless.

Given the nature of the round shape, they can create some visible gaps in the picture. It will appear more when you’re close to the painting.
