How to Prepare and Store Diamond Paintings

[@lorraineg289]

I'm just getting into diamond painting and just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make the videos, they have all been very helpful.

[@girlsonly9579]

You're quite welcome. :)

[@vivienbalogh382]

[@girlsonly9579]

Terrific! Enjoy

[@marilynvancamp5031]

They are beautiful ! I can't wait for mine to come ! I think that I am prepared to do this thanks to the how to videos thank you !!

[@girlsonly9579]

Awesome! I'm sure you'll enjoy them and become addicted just like the rest of us! :)

[@Rhaelia]

we stack our diamond paintings when we get them, and weight them down with two packs of copy paper. Works like a charm

[@Rhaelia]

I meant to flatten them of course.

[@girlsonly9579]

Love this idea!! Thanks so much for the suggestion.

[@LauraLawsCraftCorner]

Loving the owl.

[@girlsonly9579]

That's one of my favs, too!! I believe I purchased it on Amazon.

[@coalcampcrafter8348]

I would love to see them one at a time,slower to see the details!Beautiful work!

[@girlsonly9579]

I can do a video for you. This weekend I've got some spare time....look for it then. :) Thanks.

How thick is the foam board you are using? I want to make sure it is heavy enough to flatten my diamond paintings. Thank you!

[@girlsonly9579]

It's 1/8 inch. Not very think or heavy. It works for me because I use a full sheet as a work surface. I'm always piling heavy stuff on top (when I'm not using it as a work surface) so the weight of those items are what flatten my DPs. Hope that helps.

[@susanmeany9002]

Love your assortment of paintings. Where do you purchase them from?

[@girlsonly9579]

Thanks so much. I find them on Amazon.com, Aliexpress.com, untitled-artisian.com, paintwithdiamonds.com, and Etsy.com. Some of our local craft stores carry them too, such as Wal-mart.

[@jljkhoo]

i just finished painting. its for a friend and i want to send it to her. any suggestions? roll and send in a cardboard tube?

[@girlsonly9579]

Yep! Sounds like the best way to ship. Boxes will become crushed as there's no weight to them and an envelope like tyvek would probably be handled roughly by machines and end up popping the resins!

[@jljkhoo]

Girls Only Thank you!

[@Bookish_Fruitz]

you have some very pretty diamond paintings :)

[@girlsonly9579]

Thanks.

[@Splash_of_Freedom]

Are there any other crafts you like to do you could make videos on? I'm having fun with dp but am interested in other ideas too. :) Thank you!!!

[@girlsonly9579]

Sure. It's harder to work on other crafts sometimes with my work schedule.....but I'll search around to see what projects I've got that have been waiting to be worked on. Thanks for the incentive to make a different kind of video. :)

[@kimberlysmith102]

What company did you use for the owl and the panda and roses?

[@girlsonly9579]

I used Amazon.com and find their prices to be good.

[@Bella21074]

New subscriber I have a Qestion what size Diamond paintings are those in your poodle box

[@girlsonly9579]

The box measures 10.5" x 15", the contents measure various lengths, the largest is 10.5" X 13.5". Hope that answers your question.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

I see a really beautiful Panda that seems to sparkle more than the rest, is that a different beat and question 2, can you remember where you found that one? I'd have to say that we have the same taste of the kind of paintings you like 😊👌👍

[@girlsonly9579]

There are so, so, so many awesome DPs out there that I'd still love to get....maybe some day! Yes, the panda uses crystal beads so it does shimmer, sparkle, and shine delightfully! I purchased it through Amazon and here's the link: amzn.to/2F3eybh

[@ekunina5410]

I bought this at the link but was sent the non-sparkle one. So, I have to substitute crystals to appear like the one in her video. I agree, its Stunning! 💖

[@sherrykeller4502]

To get rid of creases, all you have to do is peel back the cellophane and place it right back when painting is laying flat. Boom, creases gone.

[@girlsonly9579]

Awesome tip! Thanks so much.

[@happytrekker1080]

your dps are beautiful

[@suelangwell9496]

What do you do if you come across a spot on your painting that has no sticky stuff? Do you use glue?

[@girlsonly9579]

Yes. Glue works. Be careful about the tiles shifting and not staying in place. I hope it's not a very large section.

[@suelangwell9496]

Girls Only Thankfully no..😊

[@Deb63-b1l]

boring

[@girlsonly9579]

Thanks for your helpful input.

[@keilaprevette1487]

Your boring!!! Well if it’s boring to u then don’t watch it. Why take the time to post a comment? It doesn’t make sense...people like u are miserable and u try to make everyone else miserable by your negativity. I love her videos!!! Everyone’s taste is different. Get a life!!!

[@bertamohar57]

Wow, pleasant person!

[@hekmatadam6972]

man they must be really hard to make :S:S but they look really nice!

[@girlsonly9579]

It just takes time to place in the tiles. It's quite fun, if this craft is your type of thing to do. I was experiencing a lot of stress from my work.....and it helped take my mind off of work. In a few weeks it gave me back a bit of creativity in my life!
