Abstract
A diamond art kit includes a diamond art canvas which includes a substrate upon which an image is printed. A layer of adhesive is applied above the image, and a protective film (which can have perforated tear lines) releasably covers the adhesive. The substrate includes a textile layer that can be sealed by front and back sealing layers. A backing layer can be applied to the back sealing layer. The backing layer can be configured with fibers that are sufficiently flexible to allow the diamond art canvas to be rolled and placed within a tube for storage and shipping, but also has sufficient tensile strength to urge the diamond art canvas toward laying flat when unrolled.
