How I Frame & Seal a Diamond Painting & Quick POST REVIEW

[@anqifleming8365]

One of the best hobbies to do in quarantine :D

[@hoomanbeing9711]

Yup.... I ordered one from Amazon last week and it's supposed to come in about two weeks and everyday I check when it supposed to come because I really can't wait so.... yay!

[@johncedricksantillan2710]

yes

[@steamman7292]

True

[@olive-juice]

Well, you've done it. You have officially gotten me addicted to diamond painting. I came across an Instagram ad the other day and thought it looked interesting and then I stumbled upon your channel. I ordered my first canvas and received it 2 days ago (gotta love amazon prime) and now I watch your wip n chats while doing my own! This is my first week back at college, I just moved, and I have been stressed out to the max and this is exactly the type of hobby I need. I am SOOO excited to improve my skills and watch more of your videos. You've gained a dedicated subscriber here!

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Hooray! Welcome, Olivia. I'm so glad you're here 😁💜

[@Appellonia]

Dont Worry. You're not alone. It happens to the best of us...AND FAST! I now have 26 diamond paintings of different sizes. Did I forget to mention I just picked up this craft THREE WEEKS AGO?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@crystalstitch3s]

Don't know why but when I'm doing cross-stitch I watch your videos and watch videos about cross-stitch when I'm doing Diamond painting. Though it's effective in inspiring me to do both hobby.

[@madifranklin2201]

This diamond painting is beautiful 😍

[@worldofanime4219]

I ordered this exact painting from the same store after watching this video. I got it in 25 x 30 square and the drill quality seems like it has very much improved from what Rachel is describing in this video. Thought I would post in case anyone still wanted this. Maybe they saw this and decided to improve 😁

[@MaryJane-tp3qd]

It’s a very pretty piece I can’t lie

[@Hellnogizmo]

Thank you for sharing this! I have this ascetic in my whole bathroom and I really wanting this painting!

[@eva-ex5il]

Hi! You got me into diamond painting, I saw your videos and I fell in LOVE. I really want to thank you, it has released a lot of stress, and I am so glad that I found your channel. Keep on going, And thank you!

[@Cows55]

Just finished my first diamond painting the other today and today it was sealed and framed!!! I am so overjoyed and proud of myself because I got it last Christmas. I was very busy with school and it was a little overwhelming so I barely did anything hahah. Now I just need to find a spot in my room for it lol. Thanks for the vid 💜

[@annavasiento6699]

I like the frame. Bless you for having such passion 🙏 and patience.

[@69Sugah]

Thank you for posting this Rachel. I'm new to Diamond Painting and was curious as to what I was going to do with the project once it was completed. Now I know how to seal and frame. I will have some beautiful sparkly art hanging from my bedroom walls 🥰. Thanks so much. XOXO Kim😊.

[@gmr3467]

Very straight forward. I like your simple and inexpensive way you framed your diamond painting. That frame you found is sooo cute. I unfortunately don't have time for your wip n' chats but I really enjoy watching your unboxings and reviews. Always informative, thank you.

[@nicolette317]

I’ve been doing these for over a year. I’m hooked. I got all the gadgets. I have a lamp with a magnifying glass in the middle. Love it! It also charges my phone or the light under the painting. I modge podge all of mine. It dries clear. Just wanting to figure out how to Fran. You’re amazing

[@ChrisR_4812]

Thanks Rachel! Great video. Love that little frame. Nice choice.

[@me_shell]

I love that frame!! Well done!

[@loriwillits6718]

When I seal using Mod Podge I brush right over the glue even if I am going to remove it. No more sticky.

[@DorisGameiro]

Lori Willits do you just let it did dry after applying? I have some of that .,

[@senasena209]

Omg thats a greak idea . I never thaught abt using mod podge 😆thank you

[@AzuraBelle]

This is awesome! I have a 50x50 that I’m trying to figure out how best to frame since frames that big get really expensive

[@RachelRaeCraft]

You could always try to make your own frame out of foam board! :)

[@pyritecindi7384]

very nice information. I do like that simple painting. Thank you for this video.

[@missm1900]

Diamond Painting beginner here 🤚 I have a question cause I'm almost done with my first one, and there are lots of stones left... does the Drill No in the colour key mean that I can use the stones to other paintings? For example, is black always 310 and white, always 3865, even though the symbols might change? I'm really curious if it is worthy to keep the leftover stones or not... thank you in advance 😊

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Yes, those numbers you're referring to are DMC numbers, which are universal. I save my diamonds in case I run out and it's saved me many times. It's also good for the environment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJm0iGyijLaArKM

[@gladyskennedy6207]

I love that frame...

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

It's very impressive. Quite beautiful. 💗💕💎

[@LegoBombed]

Look at you working that New Year's resolution!!! I needed this info also!

[@LegoBombed]

Btw, does the hubs know you've been using his toothbrush for this stuff? 😅 Love ya Rachel!

[@Melinda-S]

I recently started my third diamond painting and need to seal my first two. Both have popping drills, so I have to do something. Thanks for sharing!

[@cass1035]

I started painting 2 1/2 years ago and I’m still learning an insane amount

[@moom00cow]

It looks so good omg!!!

[@cherylhighfill2866]

So pretty. I love watching your videos. I just started DP. And i have many questions.Social Media is so hard on people, so i don't ask questions. I hate when people are rude... so, i pray you answer my questions on your videos. So i just pray you continue to do alot of learning videos.

[@hirai3034]

I ordered a diamond painting, starry night by van gogh im so excited because it's about to arrive today, and your videos really helped me💗

[@MoviesandPopcornwithDara]

I’m currently working on that one.

[@dlebreton7888]

When I seal my picture, I use clear glue squeezed out onto a portion of the canvas and spread it with a 2 inch sponge brush. I continue until all covered. Let it dry on a flat surface overnight. The brush can be washed in warm water to be used another time. Framing is cheap because I get mine from second hand stores.

[@johannabridges7689]

Thank you so much! These videos helped answer so many questions for me!

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Glad it was helpful!

[@deborahmasterson3737]

I watched a video where she took a razor and sliced the air bubbles in the adhesive very lightly, not enough to cut all the way through. If you check under the light you can see the air bubbles. Worked like a charm!

[@amandajenks8868]

Thank you for these, I've only been diamond painting for a couple years but haven't gotten around to framing any of mine yet.

[@blitzyquartz]

I ordered an avengers poster version of a diamond painting...wish me the best of luck

[@Peach0023]

Best of luck 😄 Is it done yet?

[@naylord5]

We all are waiting to see the result hehe

[@cshknitseveryday1021]

Thank you for this video. I am new to diamond painting and I have been buying the cheaper paintings. I like the way you framed the painting. It also fits into my budget because I spend more money on another craft!

[@erikagholston6610]

I'm watching your videos so I can learn more about this craft. I have made 1 small diamond painting and I want to make more.

[@debbieelliott92]

Whats the reason for cutting the sticky off with razor blade if you are cutting the white border anyway?

[@DollWhisperer_ASMR_Studio]

Thank You. I have finally made my first DP and I'm giving it to my sister. I had already covered the border with washi tape and placed it in a glass frame. Last night I realized i didn't seal it and started freaking out but now I know under the heavy glass it kinda holds it in place. I dodged a bullet😬

[@minella4962]

Thanks for this video!!! Really love the frame tho, what's it called??

[@iambobbiesgirl]

Wow love the info!! What kinda of frame is that again I love it!!!!❤❤

[@maryarias8649]

Hi Rachel What is the name of the scissors you are using. Where did you buy it , I would like to buy a pair . Thank you , love all your videos 💕

[@egirl8080]

Such a helpful video. Thank you so much I love the simple approach and the gorgeous frame. makes me much less scared to seal and frame some of mine.

[@sabeenadnan5203]

Plz help me qhat you do with left iver diamonds as i did my frst one but lots of diamonds are left

[@sandrabarbera1222]

I love that frame.

[@EricaCruz1]

Thanks for this! I just finished my first DP and plan to frame it for my godson -- I planned to put it behind glass so perhaps I will not have to worry about sealing it. One less step!

[@DebbieJeansThisAndThat]

Thank you for this. Just finishing up my second one and had no idea what to do with them. 🦩🐬

[@laurawilson9163]

You can use a little blue tac behind it if you want to hold it to The glass. What a great find that frame was! Love it!

[@icegoddess1308]

Or double sided tape

[@RobsWife4Ever]

Does it matter what type of glue you use & also can you use regular picture frames for Diamond Art or does it have to be a special frames made for this? Thank you

[@RachelRaeCraft]

The sealant does matter - you don't want it to yellow with time and light exposure. As for frames, you can using anything it'll fit into :)

[@RobsWife4Ever]

@@RachelRaeCraft Thank you ☺️

[@marciacapell1541]

I noticed the replacement diamond beads are either round or square. Which should I choose, or should I wait until my picture and supplies arrives before deciding on the shape of the replacements. 🙀🤭😲 ah oh! Lolol Iam totally new at this! Iam waiting for my tools and picture to be shipped. 😂🥰

[@wendytrudel509]

I saw you have a really nice holder for all your diamonds, I was wondering where you got it from and how much, don't remember which video I saw it in but it was kind of tall. I'm new to this art but loving it 100%, very relaxing 🥰.

[@SisterCaliGal]

reminds me of the lovely wallpaper in the Golden Girls!

[@donnamcintosh7287]

Hi Rachel. What a great video. I to like to use the inexpensive frames . As long as it looks good also. Your eye needs to be on the painting itself. Makes it look extra special in a frame also. Will use this method when I finish mind. Thank you have a great day

[@gemmawild6221]

What else can oh use if you can't get the glue

[@ShortStoriesbytheSea]

So when you brush on the glue does any of the diamond Pieces come off?

[@cathyschwegmann2003]

Thanks for all the info. I start with my first one and am very excited. Cathy South Africa

[@ragdollmommy2]

Ms Rae, I used Aleene’s acrylic sealer gloss finish. Well, the shine is gone from my drills! Wonder if I can put a better sealer on it if the sparkle will come back? I will purchase what you are using if I can find it. Thanks.

[@RachelRaeCraft]

I'm sorry, I don't know! Maybe ask in the facebook group? What I'm using is Tombow Aquaglue.

[@Dhyatt61]

So when we measure for a frame, we do NOT include the white margin, correct? And thank you for your videos! Very informative.

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Yes that's right! If you're framing like this. For stretched canvas it's different 💜

[@Dhyatt61]

Awesome, thank you for this info! @@RachelRaeCraft

What do you do with all of your extra drills when finished with your project?

That turned out good, but it's begging for a quote on the outside of the frame now. Thank you.

[@alexandraking2142]

If it was a printed background (instead of a diamond background, would you still paint it with sealant? Thank you xx

[@immcskully4809]

Hi I recently saw a video where a lady covered her partial diamond painting (printed background ). She painted only the diamonds and did not paint the background. Hope it helps .

[@peytondub4404]

Can I use modge podge for sealing it??

[@keriellson8204]

What do you think about clear Elmer glue? That's what use us that ok to use

[@RachelRaeCraft]

I haven't tried it!

[@mavicj1683]

Hi, Did you try elmers glue?how was it?did drills still have the sparkles?

[@cindydelacy5630]

Did the glue dull the sparkle on the facets of the diamonds?

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Nope!

[@paulineblow9063]

Could I put ribbon around the outside sticky before framing? Would it work?

[@conniebebber1704]

Hi Rachel, I am 1/2 way through my very first diamond painting project. My question is: should I cut the covering over the sections as I do them. I really don't want to take the chance of getting it dirty or knocking diamonds loose. What should I do?

[@immcskully4809]

I personally fold the covering back and place a weight on top of it like a rock. I keep the whole covering for the completed diamond painting since I don't frame my diamond paintings right away. I have seen youtubers tape a section or cut a section like a rectangle where they work on that section which works for them.. But for me because of dust etc I prefer keeping covering. Up to you , all the best.

[@ioanac1699]

Hi i just completed my first painting, a huge 60x50 gift for my best friend and i tried sealing it a few hours ago with mod podge with a little water that i brushed on the drills and wiped the surface with a damp cloth afterwards. Did i do it right cause it doesn t seem to harden, please helpp

[@RachelRaeCraft]

It may take a few days to dry completely.

[@jamilanwokorie8274]

Have you ever put a diamond art on clothes or fabric? If so, how? Maybe a future video if you haven’t already? New to diamond art... but loving it so far!! New to your channel. Can’t wait to explore it more! Thanks!

No, I haven't! I know it was a big thing in the 90's. :)

[@janeesperanza1037]

May I know the reason why you need to put a glue on it before putting it in a fram?

Does anyone know where to find this specific frame?

[@jayceec3178]

Rachel said she got it from ALDIs. It’s different, I Ike it. Frames here in Australia normally have the clips at the back that need pressing down.

[@gladystassone2852]

Just finished my first painting. I was told to wipe the picture after mod pod with a damp cloth. Is that right?

You don’t really have to if you put the mod podge in a thin layer spreading it into the gaps

[@RajAmzn]

I do have a diamond painting right now that is was from 6 days and i still not have done it. It is so delicate to do to it because do not have somethings just like in video. So, i am being flexable.

[@calafia110]

Silly question! Do you use anything to help you remove the glue from the toothbrush? I am finding all my brushes get very sticky/stiff. Not sure if I am not washing it well enough, or if there is a hint for getting the glue out?

Sounds like they aren't rinsed enough! Try washing it with soap.
