Glad you like them! Thank you for finding my channel and watching, Lori!

[@DianesDiamondPaintingJourney]

Thanks for showing us how you kit up.And I did mind the same way. It makes me happy looking at everybody's progress on their canvases for this event.😂

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Diane, I love seeing all of the different canvases. Thanks for watching!

[@krisbrummund9355]

Hi Debbie! Thank you for the tips. I would be overwhelmed with working with that many colors but all those colors would make me happy.

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Kris, once you know where your symbols are, it’s really not that bad. Thanks for watching!

[@dipintime]

Hello hello Debbie Great video and explanations on kitting up max colour paintings. Tried numerous ways of organizing the symbols and colours until I was comfortable in finding what worked for me. Happy you're finding what works for you.

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hey Rhonda! I totally agree you have to kit up based on what works for you!

[@barbarag3239]

I'm so happy you made this video...I have a large JWall DP

[@MarieJoseeHamel]

I am very afraid to work on a painting with so many colors. TY for the tips . Wish you happy diamond painting everyone!

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Max colors are not for everyone but they get easier the more you work on your canvas. Thanks so much for watching!

[@momogrimes]

So happy that I was able to join this year. Thank you for your videos.

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Momo, Thanks for watching!

[@scrappingsylvia]

Hi Debbie! I love this tutorial! It is a little intimidating to start a XL painting.🥰🥰

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Sylvia, XL paintings can be intimidating but just one on one small section at a time. Thanks so much for watching!

[@shirleyziedonis]

Hi Debbie. I organized my TOWTDA J Wall by symbol. I am so happy I did with it having 229 colors.

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Shirley, I hope you are enjoying your canvas. Thanks for watching!

[@DiamondsandDoxies]

Hi Debbie! I am so happy to do this event. It’s my first JWall!

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

I hope you are enjoying the event. Thanks for watching!

[@johnawoods726]

Hi Debbie. Great tutorial. I kit up by symbol as well. My JWall painting is my first max color and I love it. I am definitely in my happy place when i am diamond painting!

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Johna, I’m so glad you are enjoying your J Wall. Thanks for watching!

[@Charlotte-72]

Thanks for your tips for kitting up a max color kit. I am happy to have to Lowry on my first J. Wall kit 😊

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Charlotte, Thanks for watching!

[@susanh9950]

I so enjoyed this video, I’m happy you shared your method ❤️from🇨🇦

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, Susan!

[@laurenmonosson306]

I’m happy to say I kit up by symbol but also by amount of drills too bc I kit into different sized trays with lids in towers. With 221 colors I have many towers I’m still learning where I put everything!

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Lauren, I love my tower but only have one. That’s so cool you are able to kit up a 221 color canvas in towers! Thanks for watching!

[@michelemorrisc]

It makes me so happy to find new tips. I have done large canvases but none with a huge amound of colors. I do like J Wall but I have not found one that I truly love and want to do, if there are any other artist that you enjoy with large amounts of color please let me know.

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

I really like Helkoryo from Diamond Art Studio UK diamondartstudio.co.uk/product-category/licensed-artists/helkoryo/ I don't know of any other max colors but would love to know as well! Thanks for watching!

[@LisaNewf]

Hi Debbie, I also kit up by symbols, but I would not be happy trying to do a max colour. I’d be stressed out trying to figure out what category to put a lot of them in. Lol. ❤

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Lisa, Most of the symbols from DPD are easy to determine or maybe it's because I've done three from them lol! Thanks for watching!

[@Mamascoffeeandcrafts]

Thanks Debbie, this is great! Now I’m not afraid to kit up a DPD-but I am afraid of the double-sided adhesive.

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

I’ve not had any issues with their double sided adhesive. Just pull back slowly. It is important though not to roll the canvas back up. Once you unroll, either lay flat or hang up using skirt or pant hangers. I’ll be glad to answer any questions. Thanks for watching!

[@DiamondArtJoy]

Hi Debbie! Diamond painting makes me so happy! It’s a wonderful craft. I Loved your kit up organization tips! I kit up by symbols too. Once you get going, it becomes easier to find the tray and symbol you need! Thanks for sharing! 💜🐶💎🖼️

[@jacjac2010]

Hi, Debbie! I loved your video, thank you so much for sharing your advice! I have a question! How do you work on a max color cross stitch conversion? I have one of Aimee Stewart's Max Color charts and it has 240 colors! How would I go about organizing that one? DMC order or some type of symbol organization?

[@TheCraftyDiamond]

Hi Jacjac! For my coverted cross stitch patterns, I do organize by DMC and don't even look at the symbols. I do use Pattern Keeper. If you are not using an app, you may want to kit up by symbol or color. I don't think I could use a paper pattern. I am working on A Stitch In Time by Aimee Stewart but only has 88 colors. I really want to work on a max color conversion after I finish this one. Which one are you working on? Thanks for watching!

[@jacjac2010]

@@TheCraftyDiamond I am working on the Amazing Animal Kingdom Max Color. It's MASSIVE! I love it so much though. I decided to split it down the center with two canvases and I'm going to dry mount them and hang them side by side.
