Thank you for sharing your process. I am working on a 33x25 with 72 colors. It is the largest canvas and most colors for me and it is a square😮. I am going to try the pool noodle idea.

❤I'm so glad I came across your channel. Love the washi tape idea. I can't wait to afford to buy my own official painting from diamond art. I just recently started. Lol, I have bought a diamond art club painting off a destash site. It's kittens in ribbons. I think it's called. I'm super excited to start after my neck surgery and shoulder fracture. It's my first square painting, let alone it be dac painting. I'm just Itching to start Plus I'm Itching to get back to driving my school bus which I absolutely love. Anyway, I love your videos. I will be binge watching, lol. Can't do much right now. Lol Take care.

Another great post! I appreciate how encouraging you are. You are a natural educator and wonderful at simplifying the process. They are all tips that will be useful for me as I get back into diamond painting. Can’t wait to see how the divided trays work for you. Looking forward to your next video! Congrats on starting this amazing Diamond painting!

I have a diamond painting that has 197 colors. Ive already done one from DAC that had alot of colors but the one with 197 is from Diamond Art Studio. I organized mine by color since it mostly was a rainbow. I got that tip from Diamonds and Washi (Katie). Im not quite finished with it yet because I squirrel all over the place. I really need to finish it. Youre gonna do great on yours! Enjoy!

At the beginning of this video I was overwhelmed just thinking on how to handle all those colors 😱but as you explained your method it became more manageable (in my head) and then and the end I was like” ok I can maybe do that" 😅I don’t have any kits with that many colors but I’m hoping one day I get a Josephine Wall. Tfs

Congratulations, Carra, for the start! I am all kitted up. I kitted up very similar to the way you did. One difference...my kit came with sticker inventory sheets. They were not individually cut, and they were VERY small, but they were usable. I made copies prior to cutting them apart and blew the copies up, so that I can refer to them often. I will probably not be putting drills down until later in the week, as I want to finish my Summer With the Masters project first. Keep sane, and know you are not working on this project alone.

I would LOVE to do a max color canvas at some point. Hadn’t found an image that I absolutely loved and now I am on a self imposed no buy….so, I’m not looking! LOL. I laughed at “murder and mayhem”, my hubby and I call our true crime shows/channels, “death and dismemberment”. Looking forward to seeing your progress on this kit. I love how there are so many colors and the canvas is NOT the size of the side of your house…lol

Great tips, thanks!! I'm one of those weird people who LOVE confetti! If they had a cat like your owl, I'd SO get it!!! I'm currently working on "The Librarian" by The One with the Diamond Art, it's only got about 60 colors but I ordered it in an 80x100cm size.. so there is lots of confetti with all the books and swirls in the background. I am excited to see yours as it progresses!!!
