Top 6 Diamond Painting Tools for Beginners - From Budget to Boutique! What to Upgrade?

Hello friends!

Welcome to my suggested top six upgrades of diamond painting accessories and tools for beginners, with price points from budget to boutique/bougie! These are the tools I think would make the biggest difference for you to upgrade from the ones that come in your basic toolkit. While they aren't must-haves, they’re things I would have liked to prioritize as a beginning diamond painter that would have made diamond painting a little easier (and more comfortable and enjoyable!) for me!

NOTE: I will intermittently update the shops suggested below to be up-to-date with shops/vendors that are still open and still ones that I feel good about recommending to you.
