The gem organizers are created to give you control over your stone beads from the onset. These organizers create a system of work that allows you to section your diamonds according to colors, sizes, and shapes. Either one of your square-shaped or round-shaped gems are collected together for easy access at the point of fixing them on the canvas.

Begin from the Canvas Top.
Your starting point should be a conscious decision before starting your paintings. Starting from the top ensures proper layout on your canvas area. With this, there is a minimal risk compared to starting from the bottom upwards. For instance, any disruption at the top will only require you to fix the beads back in place using the tweezer. Whereas, any disruption to starting from the bottom could lead to total removal of gems from their fixed positions, now leaving you with no other choice than repeating the fixing process.
