Diamond Painting ~ Organize with me ~ Let's talk containers!

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Hey Guys! Do you have any questions you would like answered on a future video? Let me know in a comment and I will do a question round-up video:)

[@amywhite322]

This is so helpful...I have been trying to compare all of these online today to pick and your video was great!

[@janquinn261]

Brilliant info! Thank you so much. I'm new at diamond painting and in the process of setting up my work space.

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Great! Glad you enjoyed it:)

[@maryjames687]

Ever moment is an amazing company. The canvas is amazing quality. And the drills are the best drills you will ever get with this craft

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

I hope so Mary! Thanks:)

[@missfortune6174]

*Watches Allison open and close a box* Ooooh.....aaaahhhh. 😉 I think I need screw-on lids because the very first thing I ever did was drop a box full of the little boxes with the questionable clasps. Ugh! I need a keeper! Thanks for the video. It really helps.

[@kimpeters8652]

I loved the video. I'm always going back and forth with what storage I should use for leftovers. I finally ordered a couple different kinds. The tic tac type and the squarish harbor freight containers.

[@isabellebrady9785]

I use the tic tac containers and they work great

[@rvliet2009]

Thanks for the video. Glad to here everything is somewhat getting back to normal.

[@kaylacervantes3463]

The round bead containers work the best for me.

[@peggycollins4523]

For your viewers, the size of the containers is written at the bottom of the label from Joanns. The surgical tape is also called paper tape . Hope this is helpful to someone. Love your video!

[@mollieengle4309]

I have done 2 Evermoment paintings and their bead quality is unmatched as far as I'm concerned. Drilling with their beads is Fantastic! I would definitely keep the Evermoment beads separate from all the others. I have never had any issues. I love everything about Evermoment.

Enjoy your videos, hope all goes well with your home repairs.

[@GoneOffMyMeds]

OMG....SOMEHOW I MISSED THIS VIDEO!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE FOR ME ....I MISS YOU!

[@li-chinhooe7095]

I can relate your feelings about hurricane. I just went through hurricane Michael in Panana City, Fl. The devastation was so unbelievable to a lot of people.

[@paulineboisvert8523]

I have a question ? Where can I get the larger containers to the small

[@mydiamondaddiction7673]

OMG! If the surgical tape sticks to those drawers, that is a game changer in itself! Thank you for that lil tip!

[@Bella21074]

What drawers did u put your tic tac containers in

[@karengordley4508]

The square cubes are my favorites! So easy to use!

[@valoriestark4499]

Great info!! Thank u for sharing this!!! Great video!! 💜👍🏼

[@patriciajones7195]

I have recently bought several kits but they don't have a D.C number now do you combine those

[@phylliswomack2849]

How did you end up with extra drills? You've got some huge bags of drills. At first I thought that you just had some left over drills from past projects. But not those huge bags. Where did they come from if you don't mind my asking. Just curious.

[@julieholleran974]

thank you so much for this video--;)))I am new to DP and was wondering about storage for leftovers--and that tape is amazing...and I love your drawer system. hugs Julierose

[@orvetakecskes9778]

What's the name of the bigger round container an where did you get them?

[@SongGiyun]

I enjoyed the good video

[@edithseelhoff203]

where did you get those bead holders

[@summerbreeze6567]

I like the round containers best

[@dpaddictionadventures]

Omg organization is the best. Container envy!! Lol

[@amysuewest3826]

Do the one inch squares fit in the harbor freight drawers well? Great video :)

[@toveful]

Thank you for sharing! 👍👍😊😊

[@judymcintire7095]

Tape is great idea! TFS

[@dazzlingdiamonds1978]

Hi Allison, very informative video. Question, which diamond painting stores would you recommend; and which ones should I stay away from. I am new to this hobby and really like your recommendation.

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Hi Cathy! I would recommend Ever Moment on Aliexpress. They are one of the pricier ones (on that site but not altogether) but so worth it. The canvas is well packaged and glistens, the diamond colors and condition are excellent, and they fit together exactly as they are supposed to!

[@dazzlingdiamonds1978]

Thanks so much for the recommendation, I will check them out.

[@lauriekern8635]

Why is it even necessary to go to all this trouble to save drills after you’re done with a painting. This to me is a horrible part of diamond painting and I haven’t done it yet. It’s way too much work just in case you lose one or don’t get enough. Don’t the companies replace missing drills?

[@diamondpaintingwithnikki2072]

hi what kind of drawer do you have for all your drills?

[@debthornley7751]

Do you sort away all the drills from all your kits before you do them or do you keep them all separate

[@patriciajones7195]

What size bags?

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

Allison hey so what do you do with color differences from even same sellers sometimes? you dont hash them into your inventory do you? and so many of the rounds like from diamond dots are way different, and rounds from sellers on Ali the dye lots then what?

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Hello! Color differences don't bother me too much:) I'm planning on doing a video all about dealing with that!

[@flowersflowers5070]

Why are you keeping them to begin with when you have completed the picture? And why are you organizing them in DMC numbers because all D. P. canvas are in letters, numbers, or symbols? When I have done one for someone they get the extra drills along with the pink glue and pen. They need them not me.

[@GoneOffMyMeds]

I watched the entire video before I was certain that I had seen it already. I just forgot to give you the 👍 All along the way I kept thinking it seemed very familiar 😳

[@brianna56ism]

How do you cope with the different shades with the batch runs of colours?

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

I'm planning a video on this topic because so many want to know! :)

[@debrasmock7828]

EverMoment drills are the best drills you can get. The quality is superior by far. Well worth the extra money in my opinion.

[@nancybubenik7498]

Do you have a separate system for round drills?

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Nope! I don't really like rounds... so whatever one's I have I kit up one at a time, use, and then they lay around collecting dust! ha:)

[@nancybubenik7498]

Allison Rosen I hear you. I started with rounds and now I am finishing my first square painting, a 40x50. The square drills have a different look. I like them, but after the challenge of this painting I am about to finish, I find myself longing for the simplicity of a round painting. So I guess I like them both. Don't judge me. Ha!

[@dimonty7052]

Do you have the link for Amazon cubes. Thank you. Hope you are doing well.

[@kimpeters8652]

I found it for you. www.amazon.com/TecUnite-Embroidery-Accessories-Container-Organizer/dp/B07BRQ15BG/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1539908511&sr=8-34&keywords=bead+storage+containers

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Thanks Kim!!

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

Harbor Freights 4.99 holds alot the square ones 24 holds alot of drills each

[@libabygurl8879]

Hi what kind of tape is that I'm a beginner thank you so much

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

It's 'surgical' tape - available at dollar tree (I think it's called paper tape there, in the first aid section' or any pharmacy. Thanks for watching!

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

gotta tell you with the sizes from elizabeth wards the little ones that come in the 82 kits are not the small in refills theres a slightly larger for the small medium and large those in the kits do not i contacted consumer crafters those we buy extra are small not as small from the original kits their a little larger the medium double the size and the large

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Good to know!

[@oliviarobinson5460]

at the risk of being shouted at again :) i have to say i was a little disjointed with me ever moments diamond painting order, i ordered 3 all 30 by something well they was all squashed into a plastic bag envelope with no bubble wrap it came with 3 tattoos all religious (i don't do religion ), and where the ribbon was tied (knotted) round the middle it caused a river/crease from where the ribbon was pulled and knotted so from expecting perfection to what i got i have to admit iv not ordered from them since the only store iv bought from where iv had riding/ popping drills was from Ever Shine don't buy from that store either :) but hey if we all had the same great experiences from the same stores no other store would survive and those stores would put their prices up so we couldn't afford them xxx rant over :)

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Someone shouted at you? I saw someone else unpack an Ever Moment without the box, I believe they only use them for a certain size and up - which sucks.

[@oliviarobinson5460]

ty lol its all good because they picked the wrong person to try it with because basically i dont give a fly(keeps it clean) :) we all have favs and we have all had nightmares from different stores yes it was pointed out if id gone bigger the packaging would of been better well what a stupid idea because alot of people do buy smaller because of availabliity where to hang the DPs as i look at it , its their loss as in total in my collection i have over 78+ ( yes i lost count) and i bought else where :D so their loss :)

[@AllisonRosenisacraftygirl]

Absolutely correct. They are flimsy little things and should be better packaged at any size!

[@kathygoodman6159]

Check out Ella's (Kicking Cancer's Butt and Diamond Painting) episode where she frames her Evermoment's Tree Painting. She uses 3 coats of glossy spray on adhesive to keep her drills from popping off. I just finished my first painting and I'm considering spraying it. I made the mistake of starting at the top left and working down and then working bottom to top on the second half of the painting. Don't make my mistake people! I had diamonds popping off all over the place even though I had rolled the first side of the painting. Now I know to work across the top and work my way to the bottom of the painting. That way when I start the unworked section is hanging off my desk and when I get to the bottom the whole painting fits on my desk with just the very top having to curl up a bit when it reaches my monitor. I hadn't watched anything on KZbin yet when I started my painting, and then when I got addicted to working on my painting with friends by watching while I work I just didn't think about how I should work the second half. Now I know better. I hope things continue to improve for you after having the hurricane damage to deal with. I hope the insurance company cooperates and the work gets done quickly. Just remember that you pay for that insurance and they have to do right by you. Fight for yourself my friend!
