Butterfly diamond painting kits: canvases, suncatchers and kids' kits, sorted

Butterflies over flowers on a 12 x 16 inch canvas, rated 4.8 stars with about 1,000 sold last month. TOPMCYSG states the things we want a listing to state: full drill, round drills, the canvas size and 30% extra drills. The labeled drill bags and ten sealable bags help with a design that has a lot of similar wing colors.

Butterflies on roses, with 1,423 ratings at 4.6 stars, the deepest rating history of any butterfly canvas we found. Recent sales are lower (about 100 last month), and the bullets don't give the canvas size or drill shape, so check the size options on the listing before you order.

A butterfly-and-deer flower scene with 815 ratings at 4.7 stars. The title gives 12 x 16 inches, but the item dimensions say 12 x 12, so confirm the size you're getting. The listing doesn't say round or square, which is why the hours are a range.

ILYUFO lists DMC code matching and a thickened, wrinkle-resistant canvas, plus a free replacement or refund for missing drills. It's rated 4.7 stars from 319 ratings with about 500 sold last month. The design pairs butterflies with a glowing light effect, which suits a darker room.

A near-14-inch square canvas, about 1,000 sold last month and 4.6 stars from 411 ratings. Square canvases suit a single butterfly better than a wide scene, and this size needs a 14-inch square frame rather than a standard 12 x 16.

A rainbow butterfly rated 4.8 stars from 820 ratings, which is the best combination of score and volume among the canvases. Rainbow wings use many colors, so expect more tray changes than on the two-tone designs.
