4. Now pick up your white diamond painting tray and have it ready to pour the diamonds from step 3 into your tray. Open the sachet very gently - preferably with scissors - at one corner (opening max. 1.5 cm)  and pour a small amount of diamonds into the tray. Now you can gently shake the tray, this will allow your diamonds to sit in between the lines. You will see that the diamonds will start aligning along the lines on the bottom of the tray.  The majority of the diamonds should now be aligned in a way that the top is looking towards you and the diamonds are laying on their flat bottom part. It is very important to pour only small amounts of diamonds into your tray.
