I tried diamond painting for 24 hours

[@Cheryl_Haydon]

I absolutely agree in sectioning off your painting and working one section at a time. It doesn't look like such a daunting task doing that. I personally use double sided release papers (bought on Amazon) for this. And yes! A light board is a game changer! I also have several pens now in varying sizes and widths to use, as not to get "writer's cramp" or even carpal tunnel. That helps a lot. Diamond painting is sooo addicting! Once I started doing it I got hooked for life, lol.

[@Vee_the_wanderer]

Another tip if it’s not already been mentioned… put a little bit of washi tape on the lid of your pots before you put the drill stickers on. It makes it easier to take off and kit up the next one

[@alyssanicolecyt]

Thanks!

Hello Vee, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

That’s so smart I get so annoyed trying to take stickers iff

[@ahmarrrrr]

0:41 The way my jaw dropped when you held that up, I just finished that exact same damn painting yesterday and it took me about three weeks as well. Even though mine looked a little bit different for example the moon had some orange-red colors in it. But still I was so excited when you held that up (it was my first ever Diamond painting)

[@ogmckenna55]

I actually have the SAME one in my stash right now!! It’s going to be my next one after I finish my 40 x 60 lol

[@annajam06]

i was so surprised too! i have it hung up on my wall!!

[@4plywhenicry]

I have this same one, except it's a wooden puzzle! 🥰

[@CharmedandCrafty]

When it comes to square kits, get a roller or use your kitchen rolling pin, to run over the drills of each section when you finish. This is to make sure the drills are stuck to the canvas. Not much of an issue with DAC kits, but you never know. Oh, and buy a rechargeable portable battery to use with the light pad. That way you can sit anywhere with the canvas.

[@Diamondart_andtruecrime]

I just wanted to say a lot of people have cut their canvases using exacto knifes. I recommend getting a couple of seam rippers that are in the sowing section. I bought one because I almost cut one of my canvases and I didn't even press that hard on it.

[@abigailockwell]

little tip when working with AB drills when doing a section do the other drills first and the ABs last as they work better when your wax is dirtier

[@i_sayyestobiscuits]

Little tip I found out when trying to do more than one color at once: on the little part of the pan that isn't lines for the gem, draw the symbol that corresponds with the color in the pan. When you are done with that color for that section, you can just wipe off the marker.

[@kimarsenault9918]

So sorry to hear about your foot I hope it feels better soon ♥️♥️🙂🙂🙏🙏🇨🇦

[@starflakes84]

You should try a seam ripper to cut the plastic off. It’s definitely a game changer. I was using an x-acto knife before, but now I don’t have to worry about cutting the canvas. Enjoyed this video for beginners. Hope your foot heals soon! Sending prayers for a speedy recovery! 😘

[@diannaofuasia4480]

Great job on getting so much done in 24 hours! Here’s another tip to work even faster and put less stress on your body: align your tray in the same direction as your multi-placing. I saw you multi-placing vertically but your tray was horizontal, so you had to turn your wrist a lot.

[@TrevorJennings-i2b]

Hello Dianne, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

[@aluicious2421]

Amazing tip haha I’m definitely gonna do that all the tome

[@diamondpaintingbywynter]

Excellent idea! I think I may steal it. 😊

[@Shadenkira]

If you are still doing diamond paintings the one thing i would suggest is getting an easel or stand, something of the like it really helps. Helped me with my hunching problems/back because of long hours of DP'ing

[@CuratorOfTrueCrime]

The backlit easels are so nice to be able to see on such a monstrous multi-gem placement.

[@budgetwithcam]

I'm a huge fan of diva dough and sassy wax (made by the same person). It lasts longer than the wax they give you with kits in my opinion. I've never tried diamond art club, it's quite expensive and I have I bunch of canvases I need to finish first but maybe in the near future I'll give them a try! 😊

[@allsubstance]

Thank you for the discount! Much appreciated! I have never tried diamond painting before, but from yours and a few other videos I've seen, it looks like fun! I am very glad you paced yourself on this whole 24 hour thing. That sounded dangerous!

[@AmandaJaneMcGuire]

I fully recommend getting a Light Box. Which is another pure god send when diamond painting.. I also brought a LED Magnifying Glass that just plugs in to a USB. Both devices have come in handy. In my house l have poor natural lighting. So both devices have come in handy.

[@summercat3632]

Really wanna see you finish the painting and also do the witch bedroom one. Love these diamond painting videos

[@melaniephillips8556]

Try Paint With Diamonds!!! They send everything you need, they have insurance for dropped gems pet sitting in canvas etc, and you earn points on purchases and reviews. I love the square drill painting, and the only thing is they ship from China and can take 30-35 days to come in. But I don't mind because I work on 90x120 canvases because they take a couple months depending on how often you work on it. They also have custom canvases so you can turn your favorite picture into a diamond painting piece of art. THE RESIN PENS ARE A MUST!!

[@blue_hour_appeared]

I love diamond painting!! I bought so much paintings from Temu but I really want to try one from the Diamond art club now!!

[@Miri_TheDarkWolf]

I want to try one from DAC as well but I'm intimidated by the size. The biggest one I've done is 30 by 40 and even then I haven't finished a full 30 by 40 yet.

[@prittypandasmom6309]

Same! Once I found out that Temu sells them and at such great prices, I have had so much fun. I’ve been able to buy a couple of DAC from hobby lobby when they’ve had their 40% off sales on them, but even still with the discount they tend to be between 15-30 bucks… with that cost I can buy several from Temu, but learned quickly to check the size in the description. Lol I’ve received 2 itty bitty paintings because I fell in love with the image and didn’t check the size😂

[@borispugmomdelyth6244]

for the smaller diamond paintings a drawing board helps the back so much

[@Gwenluvsmusic]

Welcome to the addition that is Diamond Art Club. Be VERY careful using an exacto knife. It can and will cut through the canvas. If you can get a ceramic pen knife it's less likely you'll hurt your canvas. Personally I use a embroidery scissors. My other essentials are an art easel, and release papers.

[@Kylienelson2]

your so pretty!!

[@prestoncole-m4p]

love your videos the painting looks great

[@jobarkow763]

I wouldn't worry about seeing the spaces between drills with light on cuz you won't have the light behind it when you frame it up and from a distance w/light off you really won't see the spaces - and as the kit dries it will shrink some so the small spaces that you see should fill in so I wouldn't go further until it is totally dry - but doing great

[@janavaniwaarden996]

One thing that can help you is a light board under your project. Amazon has some really great ones and they are rechargeable with a USB.

if you diamond paint you should have a table that sits higher it helps with not only your posture but also preventing the back pain

Love your channel. Sorry you are going through the foot pain . I love DAC, but if you need smaller, more inexpensive but good quality kits, Everydayedeals is a good company. Of course, there could be some stolen designs, but some people need the dp therapy without the cost. I have been diamond painting for 5 years and still love it as much as when I first started. An easel and light pad will help you with your back, posture and eye strain. They are not that expensive. It is worth the cost.

DAC is a great company but another 1 that is comparable is Dreamer Designs - same as supporting the artists - same backing on the kits and if you have AB drills DD has a pen in their kits for that - and all ppl that do this that I know call it an addiction but the good kind - and to always have a kit as backup as withdrawals are the pits - doctors recommend this art for so many ppl who have things like ADD, ppl having trouble concentrating, my friend has the shakes but she doesn't when she paints, and the list goes on - and there are a lot of doctors who do this also
