Diamond Painting - Preparation | Dreamer Designs

[@bettylouneace8956]

I just bought my first diamond painting! I have watched many of your videos. They have been very informative and helpful!!! THANK YOU!!!!

[@HallowqueenCrafting]

I kitted up my daughter's project while you worked on this one. She had the bags just cut open and lying around like a barbarian!

[@addmorezest]

This made me chuckle. One of my daughters is the same.

[@craftsbyangel6455]

I love how you organize your diamond paintings. so addicting and relaxing

[@addmorezest]

Thanks so much 😊

[@carolynnuttall4499]

Really pleased you are doing this picture, looking forward to your post review. X

[@itztoast-123]

It’s good that it came with bags for the extra diamonds

[@dieannamercurio4205]

So pretty and so excited to see it all finished! Loved this kitting up and chat! 🥰

WooHoo!! Let the addiction begin.

I looked at this site and I find the artwork of Guido Burelli absolutely stunning, thanks for finding this site. Look forward to seeing your picture completed.

[@KlassyKat45]

Beautiful colors! Would love to see the finished product. You're so neat and organized. I just started diamond painting and am feeling overwhelmed about how to kit up and store the beads. I'll figure it out. The videos help. Thanks!

[@dlebreton7888]

Suggestion: to put the colour numbers on the bottles, go to a stationary store and purchase alphabet and number stickers. They sell tiny ones that will fit. They are easy to remove when setting up the next picture bottles. Any kits I have bought do not have sticker letters. I have a metal funnel about 2 inches across for transferring the crystals from bags to bottles or from tray back to bottle. I love how you explain the steps. You are so organized.

[@addmorezest]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mooniewobbles]

Afternoon Rebecca, i loved the picture so much, i sought out the company and when , "Winters Song" appeared on the screen I had to order it straight away. Thanks, and yes, this will be my biggest yet. have a good day.

[@Lovemesomesparkle]

This was extremely satisfying and relaxing to watch! Just subscribed- thank you 🙏

[@hi-lb6oc]

Cool. I was actually doing this kind of video yesterday but it turns out my excitement made me forget to click the record button

[@sierracarpenter3191]

I generally use the tray that has the little orange piece you can take in and out. The funnel makes it harder as its too narrow. Its much easier to have the one with the little door on it.

Thanks i just received my ordered enjoy your evening or day

[@addmorezest]

Enjoy

[@michellemills3228]

Love that painting such vibrant colors

[@DarkYuan]

This is oddly satisfying and therapeutic to watch. Edit: not sure why this particular video got so many views compared to your others, but it was the first one I found coming from other makers' cross-stitch.

[@lisaurbain3692]

I agree. Very satisfying, relaxing, therapeutic to watch!! As I sit here doing Diamond Dotz😂

[@lindabreeding3387]

Would love to watch a WIP and chat with this one. 😃

[@annadion4134]

It’s very pretty with all those different oranges in it. I might have been tempted to get it, or even a different one, but it seems they only sell squares. That leaves me out. A lot of my kits that have ABs use the same dmc number as the original with AB after it. Some, like DAC kits, the ABs are any numbers under 150.

[@cindystephens3674]

My favorite style video!!! 😁👍❤️😉💐🤠

[@2labmom]

Very informative. Thank you I didn’t know how to start my first painting.

[@TheCraftyWitchUK]

Thank you for being an inspiration! I’d love any info you could share on UK stockists. Lockdown has made me want to shop a little closer to home.

[@lisagrant8903]

Totally agree. I would love more information on UK companies please for diamond paintings and accessories.

[@Dottingdiamonds]

I was just thinking the same ladies

The link to the cover papers isn’t working. Do you have a new link? Please and thank you. I love your organization and canvas prep. ❤

[@addmorezest]

[@oliviaanderson6434]

Maybe use a mini sieve to get rid of the trashy bits?

[@susansieracki4369]

That was fun...so many beautiful colors. I did Winters Song from DD (42 colors) and the drills did have a lot of trash in them, but they were good and no popping. Some of my symbols were a little unclear, but mostly I didn't like that they used so many similar to each other (triangle to the left, triangle to the right, etc). But overall, I had a great time working on it and it was gorgeous when it was finished. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this one. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@valeriehandmadewithheart]

I have this painting.I actually won it in a KZbin giveaway around when Dreamer Designs launched their 2.0 paintings last year. It was fate though because this image has so much meaning to me personally. I'm so happy to someone else working on it!

[@robertbeckner9965]

[@justroyal57]

Hi, I'd love to know where I can get the label maker for your gem pots please.

[@addmorezest]

It's a Xyron sticker maker, I was gifted mine, but if you search for it you should find somewhere near you to purchase.

[@esmerortega9919]

Hello. I liked the bag you used to stored the extra drills. The big yellow one and the smaller white. Where did you purchase those?

[@addmorezest]

I got them from older scrapbooking kits, but if you search mesh bags on Amazon, you'll find loads. :)

[@annsmith5625]

dreamer designs inventory is a sticker.......just hard to get it started!! Also i had trouble with blurred /faded symbols and had to get their charting file.....they will send it if you have trouble

[@valeriehandmadewithheart]

I though it was a sticker too! Thank you for the information about the charting file. I will have to look into that when I get started on this painting. Happy Holidays😊

[@annsmith5625]

@@valeriehandmadewithheart i am doing a small dreamer design for the advent calendar and when i did the inventory sticker i had to rub up and down the strip several times before i could get a thin object in to start it. When i got it started, i lifted up the bottom and cut only the inventory numbers off and left the symbol and DMC portion still attached to underlying sheet. Then I had an easy removal of stickers when i cut each one like Rebecca does on her xyron sticker sheets. it was easy to hold onto the underlying sheet and then peel off individual combos of symbol and DMC. Hope that helps you too.

[@Rethickulous]

Loved this kit up. I wanted to know where you got the large tray from?

Can you please tell me which diamond shape is better? Square or circle?

A lot of it is personal preference. Round is easier to start with, but squares do have a lovely look to them.

You didn’t have to put it in the label maker, they were already stickers. All you had to do is to rip the back off. I just finished kitting mine up.
