Diamond Painting Christmas Ornament Kits, Compared
An ornament on a tree is seen from both sides, and half of these kits sparkle on one. 6 kits compared on the thing that decides how they hang: double-sided drills, a printed back, or a bare one.

Nothing here was used or tested. This page reads each kit’s published contents and what owners report, and the 6 kits are ranked as How we choose describes: highest rating first, then most ratings. That ranking puts 2 single-piece kits on top, which is not what most buyers of ornament sets want.

Double-sided sets are the ones for a tree
An ornament turns on its hook, so a piece drilled on 1 side shows a bare back half the time. Only 2 of these 6 kits are drilled on both sides, and both are keychain-style sets of 17 or more pieces.
Tondiamo sells 20 bauble shapes, and owners single out the silver-backed drills on both faces. Yaomiao sells 17 mixed shapes, from Santa to a candy cane.

| Pieces | 20 |
|---|---|
| Sides | 2, drilled |
| Theme | Christmas balls |
Owners describe a holiday craft that is easy to do and fills an afternoon for a small group, and they count the double-sided design as the reason it looks finished on a tree. The complaint that recurs is colour: some sets arrive with fewer shades than expected.
4.6 across 849 ratings. It is all balls, so buy it for a uniform look rather than a varied one.

WesGen and Eiflow are single pieces for a window or wall
The 2 highest-rated kits are single pieces, which changes what they are for. WesGen’s Santa uses raised pearl beads, the style that fills Amazon’s New Releases in Arts, Crafts & Sewing this month. Eiflow’s cardinal is a 9.5 inch acrylic panel drilled on 1 side and printed on the other.
WesGen Christmas Pearl Diamond Painting Kit
A single Santa piece in raised pearl beads and rhinestones, made to hang on a wall or shelf.
Current price shown on Amazon. We may earn a commission.
| Pieces | 1 |
|---|---|
| Finish | Pearl beads and drills |
| Hangs | Wall, shelf or tree |
4.9 across only 28 ratings, so this is a newer listing without much of an owner record yet. The maker describes it for a wall, shelf or tabletop, and the pearl beads give a raised texture the flat drills do not.
Buy it as a centrepiece project, not a set. It makes 1 ornament.
Buy it if
- You want one statement piece rather than a set
Don't buy it if
- You want a dozen ornaments for the tree
Eiflow Christmas Diamond Art Hanging Kit, Cardinal
A 9.5 inch acrylic cardinal drilled on 1 side and printed on the other, with round, droplet and large drills.
Current price shown on Amazon. We may earn a commission.
| Pieces | 1, about 9.5 in |
|---|---|
| Sides | 1 drilled, 1 printed |
| Hangs by | Chain, included |
The Eiflow panel mixes round, droplet and larger drills for depth, and the maker suggests peeling the backing film when finished so light passes through. That makes it a suncatcher for a window. Owners describe it as good quality and easy to use.
4.8 across 117 ratings. On a tree, the printed back faces the room half the time.
Buy it if
- You want a suncatcher for a window
Don't buy it if
- You want sparkle from both sides
Ferraycle and BBTO are drilled on 1 side
Ferraycle’s 12 pieces and BBTO’s 15 are drilled on 1 face only, and owners mention that as the main disappointment. Ferraycle turns it into a use: the plain back takes a written message, so the pieces work as gift tags.
Ferraycle 12-Piece Christmas Diamond Ornaments
12 designs drilled on 1 side, with a plain back for writing a message as a gift tag.
Current price shown on Amazon. We may earn a commission.
| Pieces | 12 |
|---|---|
| Sides | 1 drilled, back for writing |
| Use | Gift tags, ornaments |
Owners find the designs cute and easy to finish. The recurring complaints are missing pieces in some boxes and ornaments that break fairly easily, so these are better tied to a parcel than hung where a child or a cat can knock them down.
4.6 across 535 ratings.
Buy it if
- You want gift tags with a note on the back
Don't buy it if
- You want pieces that survive being dropped
BBTO 15-Piece Hot Cocoa Diamond Ornaments
15 hot-cocoa cup designs in acrylic, drilled on 1 side, quick enough for children.
Current price shown on Amazon. We may earn a commission.
| Pieces | 15 |
|---|---|
| Sides | 1, drilled |
| Material | Acrylic |
15 hot-cocoa cup designs in acrylic, quick to complete and bright once done. Owners like the colours, and the complaint is adhesion: drills that do not stay put. A thin coat of sealer over a finished face is the usual fix.
4.6 across 345 ratings.
Buy it if
- You want a quick, cheerful set for children
Don't buy it if
- You need drills that stay stuck
The pearl kits on New Releases are too new to judge
Pearl-and-diamond ornament sets lead Amazon’s New Releases in Arts, Crafts & Sewing, read on 21 September 2026, and most have fewer than 30 ratings. The 12-piece pearl ornament set at number 2 on that list stood at 3.8 across 20 ratings, with owners split on both looks and quality.
| Kit | Pieces | Drilled sides | Hangs best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tondiamo | 20 | 2 | On a tree |
| Yaomiao | 17 | 2 | On a tree |
| BBTO | 15 | 1 | On a parcel or garland |
| Ferraycle | 12 | 1 | As a gift tag |
| 12-piece pearl set | 12 | 1 | Too new to say |
| Eiflow | 1 | 1 | In a window |
| WesGen | 1 | 1 | On a wall or shelf |
A popular new kit can be a fine buy, but it has not yet had a Christmas of owners hanging it. For a set that has, the 4 older kits above carry 345 to 849 ratings each.
