Christmas Teddy Bear Diamond Painting Kit – Bundled Up for Christmas | 45x45cm (18x18in) Full Drill, Round Drill

A bear in a scarf, and forty hours in which the house is quiet.

Twenty-three colors. Wintry, snug, uncomplicated. A soft bear wrapped up against weather that isn't in the frame.

The scarf is the color work. The bear is the long, unbroken meditation. About 32,400 drills, about forty hours, and no part of it will fight you.

If you have never done one of these before, this is the one to start on. No scattered colors. No fiddly bulbs. You find out whether this hobby is for you. It usually is — that's the problem.

What you are actually buying

Not a picture. Nobody frames these because they are great art. You are buying the evening — hands busy, tray full, phone in the other room because you cannot pick it up with wax on your fingers.

The canvas is the receipt.

About the drills

No customer has ever asked us for more drills. Not once.

Kits come overpacked. Every bag arrives sealed, numbered, and printed with its DMC code.

How it gets to you

Every canvas is unfolded, rolled, and re-bagged by hand before it leaves here. Then it ships in a box, not an envelope. That is slower and it costs more. We do it because a canvas that spends a week folded in a mailer is a canvas you fight for forty hours.

Tracked shipping from the studio in Western North Carolina.

If anything goes wrong

Free replacement drills, always. Run short, lose a color, drop a bag in the sink — I send more, no charge, no argument.
