Diamond Painting - HAED Cross Stitch Pattern to a Diamond Painting | How to Guide

[@life.w.lindsay1274]

I found this incredibly helpful. I've been wanting to convert a HAED for a while but I've been a bit nervous. This helped make me realize I can do it!

[@noctoi]

Oh this is EXACTLY what I've been searching for, for a couple of months now! Thank you!!

[@addmorezest]

You're very welcome!

[@Amanda-L7]

Thank you for making this video. I've been wanting to do a HAED but had no clue the difference between the max color and regular or even that there were mini designs. All I knew was that you can purchase the design you want from the HAED website.

[@prisolafson5045]

Thank you for explaining on how to order one of these. This is definitely on my bucket list of diamond paintings to do! It is very interesting and I'm glad there are mini ones to try out, which is what I'll probably do first. I know I had seen this video a while ago so when I was watching Emeralds and Fairy Lights mentioned you on her video and then it clicked! Again, thank you for a great breakdown!

[@carolpatnaik3422]

I haven’t quite finished the video, about 3 minutes left, but I wanted to let you know before you place your order for the mini canvas, you reversed your numbers. You calculated 46cm and put into the letter 64cm. Thank you for this video.

[@addmorezest]

Oops. I’m a tit. 😂 and I’ve ordered the canvas. 😱 at least it’s too big rather than too small. 😎 I’ll have to think of another project to do.

[@xmoonblossom]

I love to find new things around diamond painting and I also want to try it out, but I am often so overwhelmed and kind of shy, because I don't understand a thing. 😂😂😂 So your video was really really helpful and took some worries from me. I am so happy. Thank you! ❤️

[@lyannemariah2943]

I recently ordered a blank canvas also and I just told the seller I needed a 400 diamond W by 250 diamond H canvas, I didn't gave them the size in centimeters and I got exactly the right size :).

[@LadyCapricorn53]

An EXCELLENT video!!! Absolutely EXCELLENT! So thorough, knowledgeable, great explanations and examples. Researching suppliers is helpful too. Thank-you for this. Just today I purchased Josephine Wall’s Capricorn in a 90cm x 72cm. I won’t receive it for a couple of months due to COVID-19 related shipping restraints. I’d love to find the listing of the 325 DMC numbers and symbols to begin preparing the organizing of the diamonds. I will be rewatching your video(s) for your HAED painting, which are what, they are fantastic. 👁♥️💎🎨

[@addmorezest]

Thank you so much 💕

[@emmakalkman4438]

Too bad the head site is under construction right now... I wanted to look at the free ones, ah well I'll will have to wait a little. Have currently too many projects going as it is. Loved your explenation, i didn't notice that you reversed the length, i have (I dont know if it is called the same in English) discalculie, wich is like dyslexia but with numbers. I just read it in the comments. Indeed good that you rather have too much than too little haha. Love to see how both of you're head designs will look once they're finished!

[@dbreezy8993]

My mother in law and I were just talking about this lastnight. I can’t wait until she starts her dp canvases

[@budgetboxuk]

I downloaded the emulator they recommended and its absolutely safe and easy to use. So I now have Blue Stacks on my Windows laptop with Pattern Keeper installed.

[@LadyDi1946]

HAED are gonna also have Diamond Paintings coming out in August/September no diamonds just the printed canvas with a color chart.

[@lisassparklescove]

thanks for info

[@susansieracki4369]

That was a lot of fantastic information. I'm looking forward to seeing you work on that new painting in the future. I'm afraid I'm too terribly lazy to do this myself, so I will have to stick to kits that come with everything I need...lol. or custom pictures, but they do the work for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@collettemendenhall8058]

Such great info. I had already decided to do the tree that you’re doing with my spares, but this video gave so much good information. Thank you for taking the time to put this video together for us. Tfs, til next time!!!!

[@lisalollipop2108]

so very helpful rebecca thankyou so much. ive watched a lot of your videos and love them all, it was watching you that got me hooked on haed designs and i went on to do little dreamers tree supersized max colour. ive not done one for a good year and have gotten back into it im doing animal kingdom max colour but the canvas has so many problems that im having to stop and order four seperate canvases, i wanted to say thankyou for your videos im just going to find your video of where you purchased your canvas from. keep being awesome and keep doing what you do its fantastic

[@tracygoodenough7198]

Fantastic video this has helped me so much I can follow step by step on how I can order my haed I have just ordered one from smiths beads for my first one 😀

[@sylvia7777]

Tracy Goodenough smiths beads aren’t allowed/licensed to sell haeds anymore and are breaking copyright laws now by doing so if selling pre printed canvases

[@debbiegrimmond621]

Love this video, already ordered my first head

[@budgetboxuk]

St,itches to Stones is in Australia and the drills are amazing at 11p a bag with free shipping anywhere in the world on orders over $10AUS .

[@PaintedPonyFurniture]

So much valuable information! Thank you so much! I’m new to your channel and have been binge-watching since I found you! I’ve also just joined your FB group. 😊

[@addmorezest]

You are so welcome!

[@themooma6871]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@addmorezest]

You are so welcome!

[@maryannjohnson5410]

Thanks for the video. I just started diamond painting so don't have a lot of spares yet, but love this idea. I have started looking at charts on the website for possible projects. One that I like is already available as a kit from DYI Moon Shop so I'm not sure if it's less expensive to buy from them or get the chart and blank canvas.

[@greydoe]

Fantastic info - thanks!

[@kathyseeger]

Excellent explanation! Thank you so much!!!

[@DejahhJanaee]

Awesome video! I did want to point out some things you missed and 1 thing that was wrong. So the thing you got wrong was saying that minis dont come in max color. Thats not true. There are plenty of mini charts with max color but are not as common due to confetti hell. Those will not have 200+ colors obviously but still well above the average 90. Some things you missed or forgot to mention was the Quick stitch (QS) and storykeep charts. Those are smaller portions of a regular chart. In regards to the new numbers: 1 and 01 ARE NOT THE SAME!! 1 is blanc which can be substituted with 5200 like you said. However there is also 32 and krenik 032 which ARE NOT THE SAME!! Krenik is a sparkly thread that they use which can be substituted for 5200 or AB 5200. You can find a list of conversions in the facebook group. Last thing i want to mention is the special service option. If you cant find a chart in the size you are looking for or the amount of colors you want, you can request things like max color, color expansion, mini size, quick stitch, super size, etc using the special service link on the HAED website

[@addmorezest]

Thanks for the info, as advised I’m not an expert. I was just wanting to give people a starting point. Your comment will help clear things up that I wasn’t aware of. 💕

[@lisassparklescove]

i would love to do this

[@lisassparklescove]

so glad i watched the full video thanks for the info ive seen a few pictures i like and ive been saving my diamonds so that will help me loads too and i got pattern keeper ages ago when you mentioned it in another video

[@gribouillelechat8531]

What a helpful video ! Thank you for all these informations ! I have a question : can you give me a link or the name of a site who allowed me to convert the new DMC colors into the old, because I can't find any. Thank you for your answer !

[@lovelymonika1001]

Thanks so much Rebecca for this video - it was so helpful! Just wondering, does the canvas that you brought come with grid lines? xx

[@addmorezest]

I’m not sure. I’ll have to wait for it to arrive to be sure.

[@DejahhJanaee]

Im suprised you didnt mention the fact that HAED will be coming out with pre printed canvases soon (not including the drills)

[@aletheamcintosh2538]

Hi. Thank you so much for this video. It was easy to follow and I am pleased to say I am well on my way to ordering my first blank canvas to do an HAED design. One question I have is that is there somewhere that I could get a poured glue blank canvas or would you not recommend this? Look forward to your reply.

[@addmorezest]

I think Hankins store on Ali Express does poured glue; however, I have heard many say it's not the best to work with for a HAED.

[@aletheamcintosh2538]

4kidsat147 - Diamond Painting & Scrapbooking thanks for your reply. I think I will stick with Manhui Rachel Store on AliExpress. 😊

[@SuperCCRoss]

Shouldn’t your canvas be 46cm x 82cm and not 64cm x 82cm? Also just wanted to mention that you only have a certain time-frame to download your pattern from HAED. I normally email the downloaded pattern to myself as well as placing a digital copy on a flash drive for safe keeping. Thanks for a very informative video - I don’t feel so daunted trying to do the whole process myself!

[@addmorezest]

Yep. I made a boo boo. 🙈😂 at least I went bigger not to small.

[@SalimaBarzane]

Rebecca, can you suggest some places where you can buy the diamonds from in such a large quantity, that have good quality

[@addmorezest]

I haven’t experienced sellers of just diamonds myself apart from this one: Golden Panno Official Store a.aliexpress.com/_dWStKMC I wouldn’t like to recommend any others without a personal experience.

[@lisalollipop2108]

hi can i add something i get my diamonds from smiths beads ive used them for my current haed and my new one im doingl the diamonds are lovely ive not had any problems and the customer service is second to none also if you are thinking of doing a heaven and earth i just tell them the chart im doing and they sort out how many diamonds i need, they also sort out the canvas for you as well

[@annadion4134]

Great info, but check your figures again for the canvas. You put 64 on your template, but it was supposed to be 46.

[@addmorezest]

Thanks. 💕

[@ina290]

I was watching some HEAD videos when suddenly this video showed up. Nowadays I would recommend JadedGemShop for resin square drills in the USA. The content is still very helpfull. 🐱

[@addmorezest]

Great suggestion!

[@juliaperth]

Hello. I have watched your video and how to order supplies which has been really helpful. I was just wondering how you got on ordering your blank canvas from Calvert Crafts & if you were happy with the canvas you received. I followed your instructions, which I thought were really nice and clear & they must have got confused when I requested a larger border beyond the sticky grid area. I added on 4cm each side like you did, but it looks like you can only get 2cm margin per side. Could you confirm what happened when you placed your order & if the canvas met your expectations please? Thank you for doing such a great video :-)

[@addmorezest]

I did an unboxing on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anXUmGSll7NnfdE The canvas it's self was good, the customer service.... not so much.

[@antoinettewilliamson5297]

How do estimate how many spare drills you have left over? Tx

[@addmorezest]

A lot of the time I guess. Or put them in a little storage pot that I know holds a certain amount. If it's half full, it's half the amount etc.

[@SparklinDesigns]

Hello Rebecca, I know this video is a couple years old but I just wanted to let you know that Bradley Cooper is no longer in business. I went their website and there was a message saying that they are no longer in business. PS, thanks for making this video since I just purchased a couple designs from HAED and am looking for canvases to purchase.

[@addmorezest]

Thanks for the info!

[@NancyCanadian]

Hi Rebecca, I am about to purchase my new HAED, I am curious as to why the symbols are not on the colour code sheet? (I have been saving my diamonds LOL)

[@addmorezest]

Some they don't have as the download on the website. If you email though they will send them, or they do come with your full chart.

[@NancyCanadian]

@@addmorezest Thank you for your reply, I am going to order them now :)

[@ginaradovic7446]

💚💚💙💙

[@meli2203]

Any idea what I could do if I only have a canvas with DMC # but no quantities or cross stich chart? I received the wrong beads, and no quantity sheet so I'm looking for another solution other than counting each freaking drill space (going back to the seller is no longer possible at this time)

[@addmorezest]

I'm not sure in that situation. Maybe if you are able to use pattern keeper or a similar app it can let you know how many?

[@meli2203]

@@addmorezest interesting! I’ll see if is possible… thanks!!

[@SherylKatz]

I AM THRILLED to have been sent to you!! I have been a sub of yours for quite a while now but have just begun looking into HAED. Can you assist me with the grade of canvas that one can order as well as if they are poured glue or DSA= (Double Sided Adhesive)? Some canvases are awful and will fray. Looking for a better quality for going into this project. Also will be heavy so want it to last. Thank you so much!!

[@addmorezest]

I’ve not had a problem with the quality of both blank canvas’ I’ve ordered so far and they are both DSA

When I did my HAED I just sent a screen shot of this set of pages to my supplier and let them figure all that out.
