Diamond Painting - My Storage System, Past and Present

[@Doveofserenity]

What I have found to work good is the 28 unit containers for each wip. For after storage containers, I have medicine bottles from the pharmacy that I have labeled with the DMC numbers. I have a underbed craft crate that I store them in. 2 crates, 1 labeled round and the other labeled square. I could never do more than one wip at a time, it would drive me insane. Good that you can handle it.

[@DPbyDoni]

Handle it? haha I'm cheating myself the fun of it because I want to hurry and get them done so that I can get back to one of the other ones that I have going and I always feel that I have to do them in a certain order. It actually drives me insane now! 🤣😹😊💖

[@AnimeLover1994100]

When I only started it was a couple of small ones. So I ended up snipping the corner of each and and just sat them up right in some ramekins. I now have the cases that I use and have moved onto the bigger diamond paintings.

[@cherylsusen4198]

Have the same storage system. On Amazon you can buy DMC stickers (DMC numbers correspond with most diamonds/beads but not all) numbers on them to label boxes. I use these storage containers for leftovers. The diamonds that don’t have DMC, usually I use an alternative storage. I use the little bottles for each project. I use Avery brand sticker labels, they are small like price tags, they have multiple sheets in the package and they fit just right for the top of the bottles. I write the symbols and the numbers on the little Avery stickers first then stick them on the lids. These peel off pretty easy, so I just use new labels for the next project. I do write on the labels first and then stick them on the top of the lids. Just wanted to share.... Thanks for the video.

[@DPbyDoni]

This is probably a much more economical route to go. I don't absolutely NEED the preprinted labels. I have to keep reminding myself of that. A lot of them I have used the blank ones anyway since I am so up in the air about how I want to organize everything. Removing stickers would be a much easier way to go from one project to the next, compared to rubbing off all that permanent ink, also! Thanks for the tips. I welcome your voice here :)

[@diannefohn9258]

Very good ! My drills aren’t sticking it’s not very sticky on the pattern

[@DPbyDoni]

That is always a pain when they won't stick. I have to push down real hard sometimes when I do round paintings to get them to come off of my dril pen.

[@loiscassels8966]

I am finding that those perfectly sized Avery labels don’t stay stuck on the plastic bottles. I have to write the number on the jar with Sharpie. Not quite as convenient.

[@naturalsparklevideos5010]

Thanks for sharing! I started out last year and shared mine too! I wonder where I'm going to expand after a while of doing it.

[@brelynnmartinez4133]

Thank you so so much I’m a Beginner at Diamond painting this helped me so much thank you again ❤️

[@DPbyDoni]

Glad I could help!

[@islandgirlcraftingjournal9076]

I'm catching up on my detention lol. Great video Doni. As i mentioned on someone else's post, i love seeing the progression of storage systems people go through as they delve deeper in the craft. I love the Elizabeth Ward and the Harbor Freights but i was recently inspired to do my own storage system, i'll be trying it out soon and i'll share for all to see.

[@sarahkay333]

I also bought the ones off wish and use masking tape on the top with the numbers. When I am done with the painting I put them into plastic bags with the main dmc numbers for spare. That way I can reuse my plastic storage. I also bought the large bead storage and haven't used it yet. But can't wait

[@monkeyyfuzz]

Thank you! My husband and I just ran to Harbor Freight and picked up a few storage containers and these seem like they will be perfect. Now i just need to find a good label maker.

[@DPbyDoni]

I have the best label maker out there, my hands and some cheap stickers at walmart LOL. Seriously though, I looked at buying one at Wal-mart but I just couldn't bring myself to buying one and not another diamond painting. The struggle is real folks!

[@monkeyyfuzz]

Diamond Painting by Doni actually I cut the paper apart that I was sent for my giant 90x115 and taped those on there and they look awesome. Easy peasy and cheap. My husband approved haha.

[@DPbyDoni]

I did that with my first one, but then I didn't have it to reference later, so now I just make a copy of the key and cut that up instead :)

[@MrGinger63]

I recently purchased a Xyron Sticker Maker from Amazon. Haven't used it yet but I saw where someone else had used it to put labels on their containers.

[@DPbyDoni]

@@MrGinger63 yup a lot of people do that. Writing them out is fun for me though 😊

[@maryjames935]

fyi if you shop around you can find the empty trays for the Elizabeth ward bead solutions and purchase the 13 pack of tiny containers as you need them, also something to think about the lids for the tiny containers are removable so beaders can work from them. hope some of these ideas help . also if it helps the tiny containers holds about 12.5 grams of size 11 seed beads...hope that helps you😊

[@DPbyDoni]

Thank you for all the useful information! I'm just not sure what seed beads are. I have never worked with beads before so that is a new term to me :D

[@dominiquew.8181]

I get my storage containers from Hobby Lobby for the left overs. They have screwed on lids so they never wear out. I buy them with the 40% coupons. They are perfect!

[@rgrantham1000]

You can also take a dry erase marker over the sharpie and it will wipe right off.

[@StampNStitch]

When done with a project, put the remainder in small plastic ziploc bags. Makes them easy to store.

[@judis.1810]

I'm going to buy some recloseable plastic bags 2x3cm. They come in a PKG of 1000 , and I think I'll have enough of them for a while. And they only cost less than $4.00.

[@StampNStitch]

@@judis.1810 that's what I meant. 😊

[@pureblood8712]

I got my containers at the dollar tree and very happy with them and their not hooked together, I do cut the tag off bag and tape on the lid, and just carry in little plastic box that locks but always looking for better.

[@DPbyDoni]

I wish my dollar tree would have containers. I look down every single aisle every time I go there and they have nothing good for DP storage.

[@innevermeulen8120]

How do you know which color is what??? How do you code it??? With numbers or letters??? I'm new to diamond painting and I don't know how to store my leftover diamond beads...

[@debbieelholm7921]

I'm just a beginner to diamond painting, and after watching videos out on youtube it's amazing to see so many of you put the leftover diamonds in storage containers and don't expect to use them again. Really? I figure if I have several projects that used black diamonds, I'd stick them together in the same container and if I started a new project and it had black diamonds, I'd mix them together. After all, they are the same color! I wouldn't, however, mix round diamonds with square diamonds.

[@gabrisstitches8038]

Debbie, if only they’d be the same colour. Despite having the DMC standard to guide the factory as to the end result, each uses their own formula to apply to the resin to make that colour. Because of that, there could be differences between drills of different factories, even between batches at the same factory. There may be situations where the colours “match” but I don’t take the chance, I make sure I have enough of the same batch. Otherwise I end up with clear delineation on the canvas and no one wants that.

[@tanamurphy7388]

I use mini envelopes, coordinating them and putting the envelopes into ziplock bags numerically by the hundred or thousand color code. All the 100's into one ziplock, the 200's into another and so forth. The envelopes I close with paperclips. Anytime I need a number I look at the ziplock bags until I find the right code category, then look through my numerically arranged envelopes until I find the number. No spills and no seals wearing out. Easy to keep out of the way too. The mini envelopes I buy on Amazon

[@HarryPotter-zt3es]

Love your videos and good tip for rubbing of the numbers of your drill storage box you should try nail varnish remover

[@DPbyDoni]

I actually have discovered that alcohol wipes work much easier. Instantly removes ink!

[@HarryPotter-zt3es]

I will have to try it

[@AnimeLover1994100]

I'm currently using the circle one for a smaller canvas it's very convenient since I'm using I'm other cases for another painting.

[@isabelthompson3839]

Hey I see you have little white stickers on the containers how to u take them off to start another painting, and relabel them

[@DPbyDoni]

Goo Gone is wonderful for removing stickers. This is what I bought. amzn.to/3uMnk7G

[@joanqueripel8302]

Hi there from England. What is a Sharpie? Like your system. I bought the tiny plastic tubs I buy dried herbs and spices in from a local food shop. Only cost £1 or less than a dollar for 20. Xx

[@DPbyDoni]

Oh, a Sharpie is just he brand of pen. I am referring to the permanent marker when I say Sharpie :)

[@dominiquew.8181]

I don’t write on it. I put the number and symbols on a small piece of paper then I tape it on the lid. Works great. Easy to remove when done.

[@jamiecee4960]

That's what I done with my diamonds. That took about an hour to put them in the container I got for them. 😊❤️In a little square container like that.

[@sequielseaborn3625]

Use an Expo Marker,Color over the sharpie, and wipe it away. Way easier then that.

[@snugglemouse38]

Was just going to post this, works on anything.

[@cathrenriddler45]

You could just get alchohol pads from Walmart or Walgreens in the pharmacy section. They would take that permanent marker off easier. Only reason I know this is because when I worked at the nursing home and if I mislabeled something in a residents room with my marker they came in handy haha

[@DPbyDoni]

Yes! I now do that lol. My daughter brought me a whole box of them home with her from work one day and now I use them all the time for sharpie and for ink They work great!!!

[@deepomares8072]

U r always extremely helpful. I learn a lot

[@Hoodlumsx4]

I have all of the containers you have and more. I am still undecided on which one to stick with. I like the size of the harbor freight ones, but the don’t close tight enough for me. I have a purple case bead one as well as using the plastic Jell-O shot cups. I like the cost and size of jello cups, but shape isn’t the best. If you find a great one, I’d love to hear about it. :)

[@DPbyDoni]

So far, the one that makes the most sense is the Elizabeth Ward system. But of course, it is the most expensive and hard to get ahold of right now. If I find a new system, you bet I'll be showing y'all!!!

[@diannefohn9258]

Thanks for the reply ! The pattern has no stick! The come Off the pen fine ! Could I use thin double back tape ?

[@DPbyDoni]

Yes, like scotch brand double sided tape. I use that for mounting and it is as thin as regular scotch tape.

[@hayleybeamson6396]

my paintings do not show a dmc but does shoe 3 diff long number can u help by decide whats the dmc paintings are from amazon plus can u let me no where you buy yours from plz thanks

[@DPbyDoni]

I buy mind from many different places. In each of my videos where I show a painting, I give you a link to every one of them so that you can go directly to it. If you join the group on facebook, you can post a picture of these so that I can see what you are referring to. The link to the group is up above in the description box 😊

[@SubourbonMom]

Is it really necessary to keep the drills after you finish a painting (especially if you seal it)? I’m new but think I’ll finish them as I go rather than having many going at once and since it sounds like the dye may be different across paintings (even if the numbers are the same), you shouldn’t really reuse them. My first two paintings are square full (with DMC numbers) and round full (no DMC numbers). Thank you!

[@michelekahle5599]

I use a cotton ball and alcohol to get the sharpie marker off.

[@DPbyDoni]

I use alcohol wipes now. Much quicker! 😊

[@judis.1810]

I found small snap-top jars that come 8to a package and medium snap-top jars that come 6 to a package at Dollar Tree. I find that they work great for me and at 6-8 per pkg is not a bad deal. I write the letters &symbols on an index card, then cut it out and tape it to the jars. Next I'm gonna buy an empty tackle box to put them all in. Just yesterday, Christmas Eve, I received my order of 10 diamond paintings I bought at Annebuy.com . They have a sale of buy 4 get one FREE, so I bought 8 and got 2 free, and they arrived in 3 weeks.

[@DPbyDoni]

I have seen those at Dollar Tree! I actually directed my daughter to get those when we were getting her started on her own kits. I have also taken advantage of the buy 4 get one free from Annebuy, great deal!

[@kathybillings8491]

Hi Doni...I’m looking for the drill pens that have a plastic tip on them, do you sell them?

[@DPbyDoni]

Yes, I do! Etsy.com/shop/drillpenfrenzy if the plastic tip fits, we use it. 😊

[@cozza07]

Is there a need to keep the extra beads after you have finished the painting ?

[@DPbyDoni]

I explain this in one of my other videos (I don't remember which one lol) , but in short, yes. You may be short drills on another painting and it saves time and a headache from trying to get replacement beads from the seller. Also, if for some reason a bead or two falls off or gets knocked off, you will have your leftovers to replace it with.

[@jolynnatlrealtor3010]

Newby here. Do all the diamond painting markers use the same number/system? Interchangeable? Or is each one different and u have to scramble to find matching colors? That would drive me nuts!

[@DPbyDoni]

For the most part, they all use the DMC color line. However, they do use different dye lots so the colors may not match perfectly every time. This is why I have my DMC color chart to file away my leftovers and then compare any new leftovers against it to make sure it matches the color I may be needing for something that is missing a few drills from.

[@6996katmom]

I bought some storage containers that have 4 together. I still haven't received my canvas picture yet so I was trying to prepare ahead of time. So, does each "painting" come with the "diamonds"? I don't want to amass a collection of containers if they aren't really needed. I saw one review where a lady had so many containers that she had someone weld a storage shelf to hold her containers. Is that necessary? Just asking because I am wanting to have a new hobby and if gardening, rabbits, chickens, crocheting, and latch hooking isn't enough. Just asking your advice. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed Day!

[@DPbyDoni]

All paintings come with their diamonds. I believe I know the picture you were referring to. That woman had a bunch of beads for beading necklaces and stuff so she had inventory that she needed to keep. But you really only need to have one set of containers for the painting you are working on at the moment. There are ways to store your leftovers that don't require containers like these. A lot of people keep them in baggies when not using them on a painting.

[@6996katmom]

@@DPbyDoni Thanks for replying. I just figured I would use the ones I have for working on a project, then dump any leftovers back in the bag and store in a big baggie. I was overwhelmed in the beginning when all these people were saying that they had to buy more and more and more containers. Thanks again.

[@DPbyDoni]

@@6996katmom I have several projects going at once, so I have several sets of containers. Some people like to kit up every diamond painting as soon as it comes in the mail, so they would need a set of containers for each one. I have a large amount of containers for my leftovers, but that is personal preference. It isn't a must or by any means, necessary 😊💖

[@stephanieweaver8514]

Where did u get that container at Doni?

[@DPbyDoni]

Linked them in the description box.

[@josiediaz1351]

My question is, can the diamonds be used on other projects like the cross stitch threads?

[@DPbyDoni]

Yes, they can

[@clairesteen9445]

You can get the containers you got on Amazon from eBay a lot cheaper. I got a set for £6 (I'm in the UK)

[@samuelsmum100]

What container did you get for £6 please cause I brought the 24 space case which was shown first but am about to do a painting with 38 colours so need a larger system 😕

[@diannefohn9258]

The drills won’t stick ! Doesn’t seem sticky on the pattern. Doesn’t matter if I push hard or not they don’t stick. What can I do ?

[@DPbyDoni]

If you are having that issue, I was told to put some double sided tape on your canvas and you should be able to get the drills to stick to it. Hope that helps, and good luck!

[@kristydugger8189]

I use a glue stick. I use the chisel tip of my pick up pin to scrap a little of and smear in on the space.

[@diannefohn9258]

[@DPbyDoni]

Great tip! If someone else asks this again, I will be sure to mention this option as well. Thanks!

[@dpwithcherylandtippyjoy878]

To Doni, I love your channel I am new to diamond art I would like to know where to buy diamonds in some large quantities. I would like to change a color on my painting. Thank you for your help..

Most sellers om ali Express sell individual bags of drills.

[@jennjaudon8245]

Consumer crafts has the storage containers for $16.97 multi size and $19.97 for the all small storage containers with the tray that she showed last on the video

[@jessiecarlson8492]

Are the number for the color a universal language for this craft?

[@DPbyDoni]

If they have the DMC # on it, yes. Rarely, they won't have the number on there, but there is a DMC code book that you can match your drills to and give them the number yourself.

so funny ive tried all these exact containers all except the round ones with the triangles LOLOL i like the harbor freight one mostly

[@DPbyDoni]

I am making great use of all the different types that I have now. But the round ones, I haven't wanted to try. That and the stacking round ones that share bottoms of the container as a lid. That would drive me batty.

[@neft1168]

Sorry I know u kept saying, soo when u finish one whole project u keep the extras diamond but why,

[@lindaclements7608]

Are all beads DCM numbers, colours the same ???

[@DPbyDoni]

DIfferent manufacturers use different dye lots, but they do go by the same DMC chart codes.

[@jademiller5041]

Another easy way to get Sharpie off of things like this is to scribble over it with dry erase marker then just wipe that off with a dry paper towl or anything comes right off no scrubbing or cleaner needed.

[@DPbyDoni]

That is awesome to know! I will have to see if I have one lying around the house somewhere and try that tonight. Thanks!

[@funcraftcookingandazcreate8116]

Do I need to give my extra round diamonds a dmc number?

[@DPbyDoni]

It is solely up to you on how you want to organize your leftovers. It just helps to find the color you run out of if they are labeled with DMC codes like 90% of the rest of the diamonds are labeled.

[@funcraftcookingandazcreate8116]

K thanks I only had one paint that I did have the dmc numbers and that was squares but I want to try the round

[@DPbyDoni]

This one that I am working on is from the store Adarl on Amazon. I did a review on them in a prior video. I also got drills like this on another one that I haven't done a review on yet. It was on Wish and here is the link. www.wish.com/product/58214f7348b52672ca40640d It is the Fairy Butterfly on this page, which is my profile picture.

Spraying with gloss will dull the sparkle. I do have a video on how I seal my paintings in the tips and tricks playlist though 😊💖

[@tamikapack7260]

What does the fabric softener do?

[@DPbyDoni]

Tamika Pack it is used to help.control the static in the diamonds. Sometimes they like to stick to the sides of the baggies and containers and that makes it hard to pour them into the trays or back into their storage containers.

[@tamikapack7260]

Oh ok.. thanks for replying!!

You're welcome!

[@nickifleek5588]

Where do you find the 3 to 4 digit number ? I just finished my first painting, so I’m a newbie

[@DPbyDoni]

If they have them for your diamond painting, it will be either on the canvas in the "DMC" column, or on an inventory sheet. Not all paintings will have them, especially the small round partials.

[@nickifleek5588]

[@judydowney9434]

I use the zip lock bags provided, number them and put in a plastic shoe box in rows. Why buy all those containers? So confusing. Make it easy spend the money on more Diamond paintings. You get a tray with each painting!! Choose the colors put them in trays. Dollar tree has cute tiny clear cups I use just refill them. When your done your extras are all ready bagged with numbers just put them in a larger zip lock with name of painting and store them. This is supposed to calm you, not stress you out on THESE DANG CONTAINERS!!! Come on girls think about it!!!!!! 😅 Happy Painting

[@DPbyDoni]

Different methods work for different people :D I prefer using the storage containers myself, but I know many people who prefer using the baggy storage method. Things have changed a bit since I made this video, but I still use containers lol

Hi, I use the symbols, find it easier and quicker 😊

[@DPbyDoni]

That is what I usually do, but I was trying to use a uniform system that could be used throughout all of my paintings. I just guess that won't be possible. I mean, it will, but I will have to keep using the sharpie and wiping it off when it's done to be prepared for the next painting.

[@clairesteen9445]

Thanks x

[@DPbyDoni]

You're Welcome!

[@flowersflowers5070]

Why bother with the DMC numbers? The canvas works of numbers, letters, and or symbols.

[@DPbyDoni]

Everyone has their own preference for how they label their containers. I prefer to use the symbol and DMC numbers. That way I only have to grab the symbol I need from the containers. I do not need to reference the canvas every time to see what number I need when I choose a symbol on the canvas to work on. That is redundant to me. I put the DMC number on them in order to file my leftovers after the kit is finished. As of about a year ago though, I only keep track of the DMC number for the drills I will be keeping. I now only keep leftover drills from Diamond Art Club and Diamond Dotz.

[@sheilahkilmurray4162]

Use nail polish remover. The marker comes right off.

[@MarjoleinSJJ]

Ditch the sharpie. Just cut out the symbols from the info sheet and use double sided tape to stick them to the containers. if you want the symbols bigger photocopy the sheet at 200%. this is for the work in progress trays. The left overs in a different tray with just dmc no in case of missing drills in other projects, or to design your own, copy cross stitch designs for cards, or other crafts.
