Congrats on completing your diamond painting and congrats on getting a pin!! Happy holidays friend

[@andreaskonig4392]

​@@Squishhannah2000thanks u too btw it was 40x50cm diamond painting 15,000 Stones and me a 10year old who did this for my grandma

[@ladynuyorican]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's delusional about the time it takes to complete these things. I'll stream some of the projects I'm doing and when I look at the time and see it's been like 3 hours but only the size of release papers. It's like in my head I've done so much and then when I look at the canvas as a whole I'm just like... oh. I just started one that's 60*75cm, spent 6 hours and I have a corner done lol.

[@riahpaigee]

Lmao I’m so glad I’m not alone 😫💖💖💖

[@kstar2843]

I'm a one diamond placer girlie too ❤ I section my diamond painting off with washi and fill in a square at a time. Diamond painting is my meditation time and I can chill out ❤😊

[@deborahmurray1779]

Just started watching you. I’ve been diamond painting for 3 years and I’ve discovered that it’s not a race. Just take your time and enjoy the process eventually it comes together ( that’s a huge diamond painting )❤❤

[@racheltorres7615]

Hi Riah I recently started watching you because of the create this book series. I just want to say your doing great. I've been diamond painting for a couple of years now & have yet to tackle a big one (mostly because of cost). I would suggest using a thicker pen Amazon/DAC have really good ones. I have a couple that have different size placers on. One with 3 one with 7. And like other people have said work your way up to bigger placers. I have to adjust some too. I have no idea how those ladys that use tweezers get them perfect. Also the actual wax pencils are better for AB then the nail ones. Again Amazon or hobby lobby. And I'm not sure if your using the wax that normally comes or if your using putty. DAC has a good putty too. Keep your head up! And remember it's supposed to something you enjoy.

[@ChantelleArts]

I cannot believe how big this piece is, it's crazy!!!!? 😍

[@DianaM0316]

I'm definitely a multi-placer person. I think that's also why time spent on a canvas is relative. I look at a canvas like this and see myself going all out and finishing in 2.5 weeks, but life happens and I've taken a year to finish because things pop up. Don't ever beat yourself up over it. Just enjoy the craft.

[@Squishhannah2000]

Thanks to you I’ve gotten back into diamond painting these last few months and I’ve completed at least four different projects! You’re one of my favorite KZbinrs girly💖

[@Squishhannah2000]

I feel you I don’t enjoy anything larger than a four placer and usually do 70% single placer and the rest a 3-4 placer. It may take me longer to complete my project but it’s just easier and more fun for me that way and that’s what this craft is really all about!

[@barbwissmann5576]

😻love this video. You inspire me. Thank you for sharing your passion. ❤

[@DiamondsandDobermans]

🐱you said it best -slow and steady wins the race. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Enjoy the process, it will be so beautiful when it’s done. I too have to readjust every drill after I multi place so really -what’s the point? Hang in there! ❤

I’m SO happy the algorithm decided I should watch you a couple months back! Your videos are so funny, I love your personality and how real u are too! And just watching u making them helps me scratch that itch I have to get more diamond paintings when I don’t have the resources to buy new ones too lol I hope you have a great day and weekend🎉

[@ECoopsyG-sq3ym]

🐹🐱 pick one, haha. Wasn’t sure which one it was! Good job, great video!

[@crystalldaddy]

High key start with a four placer. Easier to master and you can move up to bigger multiplacers as you get more comfortable. I started at 4, moved up to 8, and now I use a 13 placer. Also getting a resin pen is very very helpful, and switching to a putty rather than continuing with wax. Wax can make things slip a little easier.

[@sumashanthamurthy3994]

I love you’re vids 😸

[@Lemonnotlime4life]

That’s such a cute painting love your vids

[@riahpaigee]

Thank you so much !!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@Gamergirlyoshi]

Omg That cat one is so cute.

[@maki4229]

I don’t know if you want tips but a few things that work for me is creating sections (about 10x10cm or just around a specific spot you want to do) with tape. So you don’t feel as overwhelmed because you only have to finish a small piece at a time.🐱also i only use my 7placer, It’s perfect because can still single place with it and you don’t have to turn the pen around if there is a spot where you can multiplace💗 also love DAC multiplacers because they are skinnier so you have better control of where you place! Love the video💗🐱

[@maki4229]

I really recommend watching a KZbinr called “Diamonds and washi” she has a lot of great videos with tips and how to!🥰

[@riahpaigee]

Yessss !! I’ll take all the tips I can get 😭 thank you!!! 🙏 💖💖💖💖💖

[@raidermomcathy2043]

I’m similar! I prefer to just single place it and be in the zone than to try to fill and place a multiplacer. I also don’t understand why there’s an issue with needing a separate tool for ab. I have all the tools, but I don’t use them for anything.

[@rainediamond]

I always love Fridays so I can watch your new video! Poor 🐱 doesn’t have its head yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing this cat get done!!! Wishing you speed and stamina to reach that end of January goal. I think all of us diamond painters suffer from a bit of delusion about time, lol. I just finished the Hello Kitty Gingerbread kit from Joann, and since it’s a partial, I thought it wouldn’t take too long. It still took me two weeks on and off while working on mini diamond art projects (bookmarks and magnets) for friends and family. I’m so daunted to start my larger DAC kits next year, lol. Great editing and very fun, as always ❤

[@riahpaigee]

Thank you so much ! And good luck with all your projects!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@cherylclaviter6398]

This will be beautiful when you are done. I give you credit for setting a 3 month goal, but don’t beat yourself up if it is not complete. You should enjoy the process more. I love your videos and you are so lucky to have someone to Diamond paint with you 💕💕😸

[@Leah17857]

Hi Riah I also love diamond painting when you mentioned your back hurting I just wanted to give some tips that I’ve found. I have EDS so making sure my body is in a good position is pretty important. You can use an easel to tilt the diamond painting to a better position so you sit up straight and you aren’t contorting your back and neck. Also for the eye strain I found that a light pad is really worth it. The drills are much easier to see and you can get much better lines. I was apprehensive at first because of the price but depending on the size you can get on the cheaper side. Love your content. Hope this helped!

[@lolosjams3888]

I’ve been diamond painting for years at this point. I’m new to your channel but I’m on your side with the multi placers. I only use a three placer… I love watching ascetic videos of other people using ten placers but I can’t fight with how messy they are. I’ll stick with my three placer. Also thank you for the advice on the nail are tool for abs I bought one and it is a game changer! Love your channel!

[@noregretzuk8430]

I only use a one placer. I just never got comfortable with using the multi-placers. And there’s something I find satisfying about placing them one by one. Just go at your own pace. As long as your enjoying it that’s all that matters x

[@Swiftieforlife749]

Heyyy I’m slow and steady like you and you feel more in control but multi placers will speed up the process but you do you! Great job btw you got a lot done in just a few hours! And girl I’m doing the same size diamond painting as you!!!!

[@riahpaigee]

Omg good luck!!! We’re in the together 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@Swiftieforlife749]

@@riahpaigee good luck to you too!!!!!

[@toniyates7800]

The ArtDot putty is great for the ABs. It works really well on all drills actually

[@rebeccaspalding6132]

🐱 this diamond painting is going to look amazing when it’s done.. I’m going to start wearing safety goggles from now on 🥽 I never want a drill in my eye. I’m a one placer only, I think I’m more accurate that way.

[@ivyguo4747]

Riah i think for ABs, you need an ABs tool pen to pick up Abs specifically. I seen some other KZbinrs uses ABS pen to pick the dimaonds. I hope this help :D

[@edc9864]

Im with you on the one placer. Im too impatient to go back and fix 8 wonky drills.😂

[@victoriagreenwood3919]

Keep going, you'll get there.🐱

[@sachawilliams6275]

I feel you Riah every time I use a multi placer, they’re either always crooked and I have to fix them. Or the pen won’t pick them all up. I’m definitely way more comfortable using a single placer. Keep up the great work though!🐱

[@borispugmomdelyth6244]

Was wondering where you can get the flower magnet to hold the plastic just started doing diamond art paintings after watching your channel I love diamond painting

[@mrs_diamondpainter5331]

I am a very proud one placer 🥰 xx

[@NiceKaren92]

I think sectioning your canvas with washi tape would help you more ❤

[@cutecrochet]

I'm loving my 6 placer rn. Not too big, not to small. Just right ✅️

[@TriciaRichard]

If you are not comfortable with a bigger multi placer you don’t have to use one. Diamond painting is about enjoying the project and stress relief. If you are enjoying yourself then that’s all that matters. 🐱 👋

[@Tink-Tink]

Love the way you make your videos🥰 Omg can't imagine diamond in the eye😱😱😱 Glad you got it out 🥰 🐱🐱 it's been Verwood amount for 5 hours🥰 On the end you can make videos with doing just cats heads🤣🐱🥰🥰 Have Fab day 🥰😊

[@rainykanon]

I personally adore multiplacers, I dread the areas where I can't use them lmao

[@Jasmine.Raye02]

I can so relate. I’m a one placer. The highest placer I have is a 3 placer. I do at times fill like I’ll never finish but when I am on a roll I’m on a roll. But love your videos because I can so relate. 🥰🥰

[@tracybowling1156]

I feel the exact same as you do when it comes to multi-placers. It feels like I'm ruining the painting. Fixing the drills will rub the glue off, etc, etc. Maybe it is something you have to practice at? That's what I might do. 🤷‍♀️🐈

[@Diamondart_zoie]

I use the fingernail pen for abs I love it ! So much easier then the regular wax that sticks to it

[@Ratatoskr3007]

11:38 girl samee!! I had a drill that got stuck in my eye. I couldn't find it and just assumed it fell somewhere and hit my eye on the way there.. nope. It just stayed in my eye until 5 am the next morning when I rubbed it out lol

[@renatarodriguez8203]

I think you'll change your mind about multiplacing when you use a good one, like the DAC's ones. the one's you're using are thick and they end up pushing away the diamonds on the side

[@ChubbyJoZi]

🐱 The AMOUNT of diamond paintings I have started and then abandoned is upsetting fr lol

Your videos are so good, your poor eye that must have been so painful and scary.

Omg so I wanted to finish my Diamond painting it like 6 days it’s 30 by 40cm and it’s day 6 and I’m kinda close to done. Only because one day I did it literally like 5 hours which is a lot for me. I have 2 sections left and they are pretty small soooo. Btw you ate with that

Good for you☺️☺️ because that size diamond painting took me a whole 30 days😅😂

Im definitely like you i can do 4 placers and just doing my first diamond art club painting its soo satisfying but also wth it just takes soo much control to not lose sanity 12:20

I managed an 82000 peice in 2 weeks, but I also took 3 months for a 102k peice. It's all about the amount of multiplacing and confetti there is!

why can you not use your normal diamond painting pen for ab's

If there is fresh wax in it then you can pull the ab coating off the diamond or pull the wax out of the pen altogether
