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. :)

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!

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!

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!

[@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!

[@jxliaalove]

i ordered a 40x30 and it was AMAZING. it is such a time killer! You could like work hours on it. The fun thing is the diamonds are really small. I didn't know about the wax thingy so i cam ehere

[@karap2825]

I just got my first one. Ive had it for a few days. And this is a saving grace.

[@Kirstenalexisrose4]

Do you have to remove the old wax, once it’s not sticking anymore to the drills and then fill it up again? How does that work?

[@spaceyspacey5029]

Hi. You don't have to - I don't. You'll see how it works when you start. Also, I prefer using blutack instead of the red wax.

[@Circus_kid]

Hi thanks for this video I just ordered a diamond painting and I had no idea how to use the pink wax and I searched all over and no tutorials can ever explain it but you did so thankyou 😊

[@lexikeener3071]

Is there a lg diamond version of this? I would love to do this with some seniors, but am worried about their vision!

[@abigail6081]

It really is hard on the eyes

[@kaitomargue4442]

Simple ones are available

Don't you need to actually place each diamond straight on the square? I just noticed that you were placing them crooked. How do you straighten them out once they are stuck on?

[@eliannakontopoulou1306]

it is better for beginners to use round drills instead of square because they dont come out crooked but if u do choose to do a painting with square drills, on amazon theres really cheap straighteners to straighten them or u can just use a ruler!

[@nightingale9138]

So thats what it was. My pen didn't really pick up the drills , and I had no idea what that pink thing was. Thank you SOO much!

[@avatar4431]

How do I take the wax out of the drill to put in new wax?

[@archaenthus]

I think you just put in more and the old gets pushed up into the pipe.

[@zoha2024]

Try tweezers

[@avatar4431]

nightsky zoha thanks yeah tweezers work but I use a Bobby pin and it works pretty well lol

[@kayleighdegroot6280]

My son got a tiny one of these for Valentine’s Day and I didn’t know what the wax so for so I threw it way. I thought you had to suck in on the pink pen to suck up each diamond to put it in the paper. Hahaha. I thought man there has got to be an easier way!

[@bakarangerpinku]

Love your video! However, I started on the right side BECAUSE I’m right handed. I feel like that doesn’t make any sense what you said. The left side stays down and untouched while the right gets assembled. As you go, the gems cover the sticky canvas entirely to your right where your right hand may eventually touch if not rest momentarily sometimes. I think it makes more sense to start on the dominant hand’s side. If you’re right handed, try starting the next one from the right.

[@elizatan1124]

bakarangerpinku I think she meant to use the plastic to stop your hand from touching the sticky bit? 🤔 not sure

[@eliannakontopoulou1306]

yeah that’s what i thought too

[@BethieD]

Love how straight forward and informative this video is! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@joannas1199]

So, before I start. I dip the pen into the wax. So I do this everytime I put a diamond on? I'm so confused.

[@ShimmerStitch]

You don't have to. Only when the wax in the pen lost its stickiness.

[@WarmRepeat]

Thank you for the tutorial. I bought one for my mom but both of us don't know how to use it haha.

[@bfunnygirl21934]

I don't recommend doing the smaller size that you're doing. The picture never comes out clear and it's all blurry. Order a larger size if you're invested in a nice end result! :)

[@weird_hooman594]

Lol this was very helpful but the only question I have is if I can roll it back up while I’m still working on it or if the drills will come off? I go back and forth between homes so I was wondering if I could travel with it.

[@yuta4188]

May I ask does the red thing run out? Or-

[@hi-pt7ts]

Uhm Yes eventually but since it’s a tiny peice of wax you can buy it

[@eliannakontopoulou1306]

each diamond painting usually comes with one square of wax which is more than enough for your painting so do not worry about running out. oh and instead of the free wax u can use blue-tack because it works better and the stickiness lasts longer. hope this helped:)
