Diamond Painting w/ Stickers?? Unboxing Pixyls + Demo!

[@Jackiescraftytime]

I'm definitely intrigued by this craft. Since having a bit of diamond painting burnout I've been searching for a different craft that scratches the same itch. Thanks for the video

[@jenniferzyren7521]

Wow those look super cute! While I don’t think it’s for me, I really appreciate how in depth you go to test things out and show us how it works. ❤

[@caseyrobinson0323]

I slept on this video because, well, to be frank I don't need to be introduced to a new craft 😂. But I LOVE how you did this. The learn with me style (is that a thing on KZbin?) was sooo entertaining and just enjoyable to my brain. Im SO glad you left in the parts where you were figuring it out still or felt fumbling/confused. It was relatable and gave a very authentic look into a new to me craft. Thanks!

[@dianawu8972]

Hi Katie! HaHa! I was pixlying when I was watching this video. I am simply obsessed with their Collectibles. I'm finding that I love to see the picture come alive line by line. Thanks for the video... I've been waiting for it ever since I saw that you wanted to do it when you announced it in the discord group. I hope to see more of it on your channel. Thanks again for sharing!

[@LorisLittleDesigns]

I've been seeing this craft float around on my facebook & Instagram feeds for awhile, so I appreciate you sharing and doing a demo for us! Not sure if this craft would be for me, but it was really interesting to see!

[@aaliyahisaak1121]

Your full name is really pretty. After watching this I remember doing something like this growing up. (Found the left over stickers in my sticker collection recently.) I struggled with the coordination to do these growing up. That’s why I like diamond painting it is a bit more forgiving.

[@AngelaSchmidtcharismakitty]

This would be perfect for my 8-year old niece. She’s not quite calm or patient enough for diamond painting, but she loves stickers and could easily tackle a pixyl piece. Thank you for sharing!

[@krispypink]

Diamond painting is fiddly..but this looks next level for your eyes, steadiness, manipulation..I could imagine getting a sore hand or not wanting to sit at this and work on it as long as diamond painting. I wonder if flat ended tweezers would work better? Thanks for sharing a new craft Katie 😊

[@faithfuleeyours]

They turned out so cute! I was trying to figure out what animal the last one was and gave myself a good laugh when it ended up being a teapot 😂

[@UnemploymentCheck99]

I tried these and I was hooked! I loved that there was no setup or cleanup, perfect to do if you want a simple craft or have a smaller wok area! Trying to get them straight was actually fun for me😅

[@charlenejo2490]

I’ve been debating whether to try these for a long time now. I’m so glad to see someone actually try making them.

[@shanamarissabrown]

I was on the edge of ordering these and you just pushed me!!! Ty for showing them!!!

[@eva-liisaa7833]

when i was younger like 5 or so i had something smlar but it was with puffy pixel squares and some big crystal stickers and i moved on to diamond painting about 6 years ago , i would consider them pretty smlar

[@DiamondsandLibraryCorner]

It kind of reminds me of stickers by numbers. I wouldn’t mind trying it because I like those kinds of projects. Thank you for sharing

[@charlenejo2490]

I love sticker by number

[@shawna-3]

Thanks for sharing Katie!

[@andriella19]

I’m a big fan of Pixyls! I like how it requires much less setup and cleanup compared to diamond painting (still like diamond painting though).

[@Piapie_Crafts]

I started off using one of my many DAC stabby tweezers. My pair were actually verys slightly bent at the tip which seemed to help with picking and placing without indenting the stickers. But I bought a Pixyls brand applicator with one of my orders so that I could use them in photo reviews etc, and they feel so much better in my hand! The body of them are actually curved rather than the flat type from diamond painting companys.

[@openorwap5412]

See! We're NEVER too old for stickers 💖 I may, however, lack the patience required 🤭

[@itsmelarisa]

I’m so happy about that you are making a video about pixyls! I’ve been ordering from them for almost a year and I love them!

[@itsmelarisa]

Additionally, I would love to see more pixyls content!

[@Rlj38823]

I love pixyls. I've ordered lash tweezers from Amazon to see if the curved and bent ends help with laying the stickers. So this might be another idea. The sharp eye lash application tweezers.

[@dragonfae6197]

This looks like so much fun! Might have to give it a try.

[@decimalowen9206]

I’ve been curious about these, especially since they look so practical for travel. Thanks for the intro and I’d love to see more tips in future videos.

[@TheDiamondTechnician]

They have FULL canvas ones! So cute

[@aliciacolorsandcrafts]

So fun! And yes! Great for traveling!

[@Azure_Jewel]

This is SO different. How fun for you!😊

[@lauriejoseph8478]

These are so cute!! I would be willing to try these. You could do these on the plane!!

[@trudilawrence9899]

I have something similar. Its different shaped tiny stickers and the square ones to. Its for card kits though. It was very fiddly. ❤🎉😊

[@michellebrice2990]

Neat craft, Katie. I enjoyed watching the video and happy that you found an additional outlet for your creativity. I don't think it's for me but I am glad you are happy with it.

[@mintgirl910]

I’ve been anticipating this video from you! This was so fun to watch! Need to decide what I’m going to order first! Thanks Katie!

[@joyceobrien4457]

Interesting! I am not sure if it is for me but I will love to see more videos as you complete some of these projects.

[@missynelson2323]

Looks interesting. Not sure if my eyes could do it. Very small. You did a great job showing the craft and placing the stickers. Very cute set. I think for me and my OCD I'll stick to diamond painting though 😅.

[@melissa_ann_sparkle]

I just got my first order in this week. Already hooked and placed a new order and subscribed to the monthly 🙃

[@DanielleFraser-w1g]

This looks like so much fun!! ❤

[@theprincipalpainter]

This is so much fun Katie! I wonder if curved tweezers would work! I ordered a few stickers (for research purposes of course!😂)

[@Azure_Jewel]

It would be great if diamonds came on those sticker sheets for our diamond painting

[@celine_poike]

There are way too many drills and colors for that to work. I don't think it would be great at all

[@Azure_Jewel]

@ well I do

[@jennifernelson9664]

I think this could be good to do while on a long flight.

[@rebeccahutto1701]

This looks adorable but I think that would be my undoing😂

[@poetangel922]

I’ve been waiting for your video! I definitely need to order. But Canada post is on strike so need to see what they say they use

[@selenew1242]

I did order the Pixyls applicator and it is same as the Diamond Art Tweezers.

[@elizabethwarman9028]

Hi Katie, what a lovely hobby for a rainy day. I don't know about traveling because I go to Maui almost every year. Flights to Maui have lots of turbulence. Right now I will not buy any. My owner ( Personal Assistant) would go into bully mode. But, I would love to try.

[@amydavis4945]

I got my first order not too long ago. Because I wasn't sure if it would be something I had the patience for, I stayed small. 😂 I ordered one of the bookmarks. I also got a "freebie" in my order (I love that they do that!), so I used that to kind of "walk before running". I used tweezers I've gotten in a gazillion DAC kits and so far they are working very well, but I have wondered if I could use the "new" DAC twist-and-pick pen. I have found once the bottom row is down and the first sticker of the next row is placed, it's pretty easy to line up after that by just butting the next sticker up against the placed ones in the corner. I'm probably not explaining that very well, but it works for me, LOL! I got done with the freebie kitty sticker and have started on the bookmark now. I'm feeling a bit more confident, but the jury is still out as to whether I could manage a full-size image. The biggest problem is, every time I go to their site, the ones I WANT to do are always sold out. So I do hope that as their popularity grows, they will be able to keep up with the demand a bit better. BTW, I haven't actually compared them physically, but it seems to me the little stickers aren't much smaller than square diamonds in diamond painting - they just seem smaller because they are flat.

[@rosedawn21]

Super cute but definitely not for me 😅 I could already feel myself going crosseyed seeing all the black and white squares. Glad you found a side craft that works for you though 😊

[@Robin-gf6qw]

Wholly intrigued. My hand cramps though if I use tweezers for any length of time (say removing wrongly placed diamonds). I think it might be an issue… 🤷‍♀️

[@legalisefreedom]

Thanks for sharing! These were some very cute designs. I'm looking forward to seeing the book one completed. I have been seeing these for a while now. I was curious. While the lack of materials and space required is enticing, I dont think this is a craft for me. ("Scratch an itch." Ewww. 😖)

[@jenniferflick4290]

It looks neat but a bit tedious. Is this similar to what Mrs. Coffee did on her channel recently? Mrs. Coffee was using tweezers but she had strips and she would pull them off. I think the pixel was more like silicon material maybe.

[@Trinh1227]

Cute 💜💚🩷

[@jillrutecky9792]

Ugh wow not sure about this but I’m open. ❤

[@amydavis4945]

In my *extremely limited* experience, one thing you don't want to do is place all of one color first. Do like they say... start at the VERY bottom row on the left side (if you are right handed). The reason for this is, you don't want to get into a situation where you have a sticker to place and you have to wedge it in between ones you've already placed. Unlike diamond painting, you can't just "shift" the pieces next to it over to make it fit. You DEFINITELY want to start in the bottom left and work left to right (or vice versa if you are left-handed) and change colors accordingly. I'm writing this just as you are starting to work on your Watermelon and you are placing the first ones diagonally instead of left-to-right on the bottom row. Unlike diamond painting, it's easy to switch to the next color to use, so there's no reason to place one color all over the piece you're working on (like we do in DP). I hope this helps anyone that is trying this for the first time. There is definitely a small learning curve to this... but I think I'm hooked! LOL, just what I need... another craft to go with my diamond painting, cross stitch, crochet, beadweaving, beaded cross stitch, wool felting, painting, scrap booking, charcoals, polymer clay, air-dry clay, resin, and probably more I'm not thinking of atm. I'm glad my husband puts up with me, LOL!

[@lori_w]

Sure wish I tried this new craft instead of buying the other pixel hobby craft because my carpal tunnel hurts too much.

[@vivianprince1126]

I don't think I have steady hands for this craft. 😂

[@terri6766]

Those are cute, but I think they are too much for me. Maybe 30 years ago. I’ll stick to diamond painting and crochet. This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing this, I know some that would like this.

[@aprilcampbell9747]

Nope. But so very interesting. Too nitpicky with the tweezers. What do you do with the sheets after you’ve completed them? Or is it more of the therapy aspect that they are good for. ❤

[@Snoogle_Boogle]

Hmm not sure if this is for me or not. Definitely on the fence the stickers are super cute though!

[@poetangel922]

Did you forget the link to the tweezers or am I missing it?

[@DiamondsandWashi]

Hi! Sorry about that, I did forget to include it. Thanks for letting me know! ☺️It's added now, but also: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09J95YPXF

[@lisahunt7967]

I tried it I do need better tweezers

[@ArdethWexler]

Sadly, this is not for me, I like something a little more forgiving when placing. . It was very interesting video. Thank u for sharing Have a great day 🍂🍁🍂

[@tracycruz5793]

This one is not for me.

[@tiny_turtles]

Meh. If I were stranded on a desert island without diamond painting or anything else to do, I might consider trying this odd craft. Otherwise count me out. 😂

[@jillb2889]

I’ve been curious ever since you talked about it. It reminds me of paint by sticker. Thank you so much for demonstrating this. I just don’t think I have any interest in this.

[@raccooneyes2099]

I couldn't do these. I don't have the patience lol and I feel if you do one a little bit crooked, you're done lol
