In Diamond Painting, there are some different kinds of drills that can be good to keep track of. In addition to the most common square and round drills, there are also specially shaped and rhinestone drills. Below you can read more about the different drills.
Square drills
The square drills are just as the name suggests square. The size of them is 0.25cm x 0.25cm, so they are slightly smaller than the round ones. The square drills top are cut so that they have 9 sides. Which is considerably fewer than the round ones that have 16 sides.
Round drills
Just as the name suggests, the round drills are round. They are 0.28 cm x 0.28 cm, which means they are slightly larger than the square drills. The top of the round drills are cut so that they have 16 sides, which is considerably more than the 9 sides the square have.
Special shaped drills
Special shaped drills are, as the name implies, drills that are different in size and have different shapes. These are often used for Diamond Painting with peacock motifs. Where you use the specially shaped drills for the tail of the peacock. The specially shaped drills are often found along with the rhinestone drills. I think the specially shaped drills give the paintings something a little extra.
Rhinestone drills
Rhinestones drills are reminiscent of glass. They are round and have a flat surface at the top. The rhinestones are usually in combination with the specially shaped drills. Something that most people usually think is that they glitter much more than the usual round drills.
I saw a recent article on a new drill for diamond painting but cannot remember what it was and where I had read about it. Am I mistaken?
Hi,
I haven’t seen anything about that so not sure what it could be. My though is that maybe a company decided to change the formula for their diamonds and are calling it a new drill.

What do you call a part picture? Not full drill.
