Grandmother holding a custom diamond painting portrait of her husband — DYCDIY memorial art keeps loved ones’ smiles and memories shining at home.

A portrait that brings his easy smile back into the room—every single day.

His Smile Lives Here

“He never came home without that warm, easy smile.”
He fixed squeaky doors, told the best old jokes, and always saved the last cookie for me. When he passed, the house felt too quiet—like the laughter had moved out with him.

On my birthday, the kids surprised me by turning his favorite photo into a diamond painting. As I ran my fingers over the tiny facets, I could almost hear him teasing, “Don’t forget the corner pieces.” Each sparkling dot felt like stitching his voice and kindness back into our home.

Now the portrait rests where he used to sit. Every time I look up and see that grin, I’m reminded: love doesn’t leave—it shines in the memories we keep.

FAQs

Can I use an old or slightly faded photo of my parents/grandparents?

Yes. Our designers review every image and can often enhance brightness and contrast. Clearer photos always give better results, but treasured older photos usually work well too.

What size is best for family or elder portraits?

For single portraits, we recommend 16"x20" (40×50 cm) or larger. For family photos with 3+ people, 18"x24" (45×60 cm) or bigger preserves faces and details more clearly.

How do you handle photos that don’t match the canvas ratio?

We’ll carefully crop or adjust while keeping the person centered and natural. If major adjustments are needed, we’ll contact you before production.

Can I add meaningful text, like a name or date?

Yes. Many families choose to add birthdays, anniversaries, or a short message. You can leave details in the order notes, and we’ll arrange them thoughtfully.

What if my photo isn’t high resolution?

Don’t worry—our team will check every file. If the image is too low quality, we’ll reach out with suggestions. You’ll never be left unsure.

How long does it take to receive a custom piece?

On average, 5–7 business days for production, plus 7–15 days for shipping, depending on your location.
