[@justwacth6552]

A Child It’s used to pick up the diamond things I was confuse as well 😂

[@jenni3746]

A Child you stick the pen in the wax and it'll pick up a circle of wax, then you just pick up the dot by lightly tapping the waxing the rounded side of the circle or square. :)

Squishy square?

Got mine from Wish with no instructions so thank you for this quick tutorial.

[@toopy2099]

I had instructions but they were blurry and i could not see anything and no words 0.0

[@deborahcuddy9128]

Every now and again you dip your pen into the gel sponge then it will keep picking up your dots to put on picture then after so long repeat what you just done but always make sure the round tops of the beads are at top on picture if your using round ones!

Me too! It doesn't work for me.

[@averyspalding7505]

Lol same

[@srslykiro]

Chill,to make the pen sticky u just get the pink square and push the pen through it ✨ its as easy as that then it turns in a magnet sort of thing and captures the pearls on the pen!

[@srslykiro]

Hope that helped

[@TigerEyes751]

You're an absolute life-saver!! Hahaha I opened my kit for the first time this morning, found everything except instructions...tried for ages to get the drills to attach to the tool...with much swearing and no success. NOW I know what the red squishy thing is, and what I'm supposed to do with it lol. Thank you so much x

[@Jen-jen810]

I did the same lol 😆

[@Doctor-by6hg]

Thank you for this short tutorial. I really didn't know what to do because it's my first time to do it.

[@tundevirag6372]

now add to that when you get a kit in a language that you dont speak and there are no words only a product identifier number on the package. then, after you finally find the product your fone does not translate the words (only the name: diamond puzzle, after you copy it and ask the search engine what does it mean) 😂 im so happy this video came right away!

[@judahace]

Thank you for this. So many people be wasting my patience talking way too much. You got to the point and I love it.

I could not for the life of me figure out what the hell that red rubber square was for..and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why my diamonds were not sticking to the pen when I pushed the pen down on the diamonds 😳😳 so Needless to say it took me probably 10 minutes to stick 10 diamonds on my canvas! Yay 😁 I’m so excited now that I don’t have to give up on it!! Thank you soooo much!!!!

The little bowl makes static electricity with the pen. So the sticky block is not always needed. It is fun to do. If your sticky thing is lost you can dip the tip on your tongue.

[@ThePinkpetals]

Hello Jen and thank you for this wonderfully informative video! I received my canvas from my neighbor, a few months ago and today is the first time I actually pulled everything out once I saw your video LOL! I noticed that the only thing missing out of my kit, are the tweezers, however I have a little item that looks like a clear mini spatula that actually fits into the other end of the drill pin oh, and I believe it could serve as the tweezers or in place of the tweezers. And, I will take a photo of it, and I'll try to send it to you through my email if there's a way I can get in contact with you. I thank you so much for explaining everything to me because I had no idea what the little pink square was, nor did I realize that it was the wax and that it is used to attach the drills to the drill pin! Because there were no instructions in the package that I received and there was no separate photo included. However I did notice at the top of my canvas that there is a miniature photo of the item that I am to be completing. I also want to thank you for explaining about shaking the drills in the little Square tray before attaching them to the drill pin, because I would have had no idea to do this! I sincerely thank you for your help today!

[@hm3drake35]

I use the tweezers to put the diamonds on and I work two square inches at a time. I also use several colors at a time and lay them out on a mat.
