Quick tip, when your doing them only cut off one section then do those colours in that section, just don’t rip off the whole thing cause then the sticky ness will fade away😁

[@LarissaRivera]

Thanks! Thats a really good tip, Ill definitely do that for next time!

[@evielynn1563]

lol i took like 5 mins trying to figure out the wax before i discovered there was a cover on it when i diamond painted the first time.

[@randomw33b2]

Lol I threw away the wax when I first started and I did so with the pen and finger placed them 🤣🤣

[@kimberlyscabiniowa1199]

OMG I SO LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! You're so down to earth and just yourself... I love that about you! Thank you for sharing your adventures with diamond painting! Keep the videos coming!

[@haekyungchoi-ma6291]

Not sure if you knew but on the other side of the pen is a attachment that allows you to put down more than one drill.

[@LarissaRivera]

Thanks! I should probably use that side more then lol

[@karenholder9967]

Am addicted to diamond painting ,great relaxation

[@cathykardal696]

I do counted crossstitching and I have decided to buy a few kits of the diamond painting they look neat. You did a great job!

[@LarissaRivera]

I never tried the crossstitching before but it looks so fun! and Thank you!!

[@samanthahess320]

I loved the video! I started doing diamond paintings about a year ago and I've been kinda on and off since then. Diamond paintings normally take me anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. When you said that you were going to try to get the entire canvas done in a day I was a bit surprised but of course, the more you do it you pick up tricks and figure out how long it takes you. Hope you make another diamond painting video soon! Love your videos!

[@LarissaRivera]

Thank you! Yeah, I definitely underestimated how much time itll take but I learned a lot since that first time lol I appreciate all your support!

[@napark7076]

Loved it! I did a beauty and the beast rose diamnod painting and it was so much fun! Please make another video of you diamond painting because its fun to watch!

[@LarissaRivera]

Wow that must've been a gorgeous painting!! And I may or may not have another one in the works!!

[@napark7076]

@@LarissaRivera Yay I'm so excited and I'm looking forward to it!

[@Micky-lj1no]

most of the time there is wax left and it is normal and the plastic bags they give you are for left over diamonds so that if you need them again you can easily get them.

[@vincentmazzella7048]

I love diamond painting do much to the point where i have done 3 diamond painting over quarantine, and i also have 6 more in a bucket that i have to do, and i also have one on the way t my house. SO i am clearly addicted. I hope you love it!

[@hii2222]

My heart skipped a beat when she took the whole thing of cause I cut mine in sections

[@nataliedelisle1903]

only peel the part on top off in sections that way the sticky won't fade and you technically don't haft to do one color at a time you can put them in containers

[@LarissaRivera]

Thats awesome advice! Thank you!

[@theambientsound8020]

Diamond painting is addicting. It is simple but does take time. I also hand my on magnetic frames and put them in my daughters room.

[@LarissaRivera]

Awww thats a cute idea! and the magnetic frames sound cool, I should look into those!

[@AngelicaPinky]

Step 1 when you get the Dp check if all the drills if you missing one bag or color, Step 2 Never peel of the whole diamond paintig layer, peel off like a square of 5-10cm at a time (Thats how i do it) :D You can also look att DP here on yt on instructions :D

[@LarissaRivera]

Thank you!! Thats super helpful! When I started I literally had no idea hahaha

[@tomsellersjr8267]

Beautiful

[@phoebemason453]

A little tip for diamond painting, don’t leak off all of the of the paper form the sheet and also if you want to do more maybe get some organizers the diamond dots.

[@LarissaRivera]

Thanks!!

[@saltypeachdiamondpaintingc297]

One quick little tip use an Exacto Knife to cut medium sized sections trust me I've been doing diamond paintings for 5 years I've completed 38 and that strategy works WONDERS!

[@chanillamaise8282]

FIVE YEARS ARE YOU CRAZY

[@LisbethJimenez]

Loved the video you did a great job. A bit of life advice, don't be in a rush to finish enjoy the process :)

[@LarissaRivera]

Thank you! I really need to take that advice haha I always rush them lol

[@alikc25]

Very cool.

[@kikiyotarver4632]

Me working on a 40x60 seeing people complete them in three days me over here working on it for a week not even half way done or a quarter 💀

[@LarissaRivera]

Everyone moves at their own pace, try to not compare yourself to them!

[@coreen588]

I don't peel the whole cover off. I peel it down from the top about 2 inches...do that section and peel down another two inches and so on. That way you keep the sticky part clean and you also have a place to rest your hand while you diamond paint. I work slow...relax...it relieves my anxiety.

[@LarissaRivera]

Thats smart!! I definitely ran into that problem about needing to rest my hand somewhere 😂

[@coreen588]

@@LarissaRivera thats prob why your shoulder hurt 😊

[@moonpig.com2134]

Tip:don't take all the plastic off if u do the sticky bit won't de sticky anymore xxx

[@LarissaRivera]

Thats a good tip, Thank you!!

[@westonlori]

Well done. I'm a newbie too and I love doing it.

[@LarissaRivera]

Thanks!! Im glad to hear you love it too!💖

[@lindagarcia8901]

You did a wonderful job Will you continue to Diamond paint?

[@LarissaRivera]

Thank you! and Yes, definitely!!

[@AislingDa]

Question is, will u do another? Lol I do a new about once a week depending the size

[@LarissaRivera]

I would totally do another! It was fun but Im not sure I could complete them all as fast as you! lol

[@kailynnemaruska274]

did you not the other end is to place multi diamonds

[@LarissaRivera]

I kinda knew, but in my opinion, it was a little bit more difficult to use, Ill probably use it more as I get better at painting though!

[@carolinassparklecreations3427]

Awesome how you just dove into your first kit. It takes time to do, however the time spent is rewarding once you finish a painting.😁

I started doing diamond painting about 4 months ago and I have done 11 so far I’m working on a custom one right now it’s a 50x70 square diamond it’s big I started about a week ago and I’m half way done it’s fun once you get the hang of it

[@LarissaRivera]

Oh my gosh that's so many! That's awesome!! I'm definitely jealous you got a custom one, that's so cool!! One that big would probably take me like a month! haha

[@Vilma08]

I have not finished I’m on the last section hopefully I’m done this weekend lol have you happy 4th of July 🎇

[@LarissaRivera]

At least you're almost done!! and Thank you!! I hope you had a great 4th of July too!

[@sarahholdcroft5053]

Good morning from South Australia! i finished my first ever two days ago. I started it when it arrived, which happened to be my birthday. It took me five weeks and one day (with lots of life going on as well). It was a 40x60cm black dragon in square drills. It's framed and on the wall now :) I'm now doing the same size and shape drilled Lightning Dragon. I got my 13 year old doing the baby dragons too :D thanks for sharing your experience

[@haileyledger2973]

For the future, don’t please of the plastic all at once. Instead you just want to peel back the plastic into small sections. You don’t want to expose your canvas😌I hope this helped:)

[@LarissaRivera]

Thats really helpful! Thanks!

[@Phoebe-mk2do]

Great video!! Diamond paintings are one of my favourite things to do :))

[@LarissaRivera]

Thank you!! I enjoyed it too! I would definitely do another lol

[@karenholder9967]

Was introduced to diamond painting by my friend,,just love it

[@arthobbies]

Haha ur awesome, love how u talk, ur funny. Great canvas, keep up the great work.

[@xx_oceaneyes_xx6635]

you can cut it in scares or just go for it like what u did! I do that since I have no containers/places to put the diamonds in-

[@PeytonRogers625]

I like doing diamond arts and I’ve done 8 and I’m doing one of me, my cousin, and our grandparents

[@coreen588]

You can go on Amazon and order bead containers

[@waterbug8708]

I love diamond art!!! I’ve been watching a lot of videos and this one popped up so i decided to try it 😁 I’ve completed 5 and am almost done with my sixth

[@LarissaRivera]

Wow you've done so many! Thats awesome! Its crazy how fun it is lol

[@baibasinicina4193]

A good tip, if you want it to be detailed get a big one or if you want a small one get one that doesn't have a lot details.

[@LarissaRivera]

Thats a really good tip!! Ill keep that in mind for sure, I usually love to see the details so Ill have to go bigger!!

[@eeshapopat4067]

Just FYI don’t peel off the protective layer all at once because the canvas will loose its stick and dirt and dust can get stuck on it instead just cut off little sections of the protective layer

[@LarissaRivera]

Thanks!! Ill definitely remember that for next time!

Quick tip_try to just peel off a little square then do it don't rip off tho whole thing

[@amxranthine2766]

Right idk why that bugged me lol

[@TravisGetsCreative]

You did great for your first time. There are techniques that the experts have shared on youtube that will give you some strategies that allow you to do a little at a time instead of trying to do it all at once. I know you posted this video a while ago, but I'm adding it for anyone new that comes along. It's a relaxing hobby.

[@coodealsdiamondpainting]

Nice🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

they are so addictive

ive done 3 of these and it took me weeks to complete but its worth it

What if you dont have enough diamonds ?

[@LarissaRivera]

That actually happened in a recent video! "Finishing another diamond painting" I just used some extra drills I had that were a similar color but other people have told me about a website called Smith Beads, I havent tried them yet though but I think you can buy extras off that site!

[@diamondnana1026]

Welcome to the addiction sweetheart..💜💜💜💜 Don’t you wish diamond painting was that quick? Lol

[@LarissaRivera]

Thanks! Yeah I definitely didn't realize how long it was going to take lol it was so worth it though!

[@amiliaatkinson5800]

tip the part on the end is a multi placer meaning it places more than one diamond at a time

[@sheilamah5113]

Where did you get this diamond painting

[@LarissaRivera]

Amazon! They have a tooon of options on there, I got my second one from there too! Heres a link! amzn.to/2P4Tzvy

[@clairedouglas8984]

Cool

[@LarissaRivera]

Thanks!!

[@LS-xh9nz]

Would you do another? There are tools that allow you to place several diamonds at once. Also, there are “special” diamond kits that have very pretty rhinestones and aren’t so intensive. You did a beautiful job on this one!

[@LarissaRivera]

I'd definitely do another! I probably should get those tools lol I didn't realize they had special ones too, those sound like they would be gorgeous! I need to look into those lol and thank you!!
