Is Diamond Art Club Worth it? ($$$ diamond painting )

[@PurpleWillowArts]

I’m team square. I love how the whole picture looks when it comes together. There are no gaps and it’s just so pretty and soooo shiny. I only buy DAC now. I’ve had the same frustrations you have had. Oh… the static drills - cut off a piece of a dryer sheet and stick it into the bag of drills before pouring them out and shake it a bit. It helps!!!! Can’t wait to see your finished project! I think I’ve completed around 30+ paintings and it seems as though they just end up larger and larger. lol. ☕️

[@riahpaigee]

Lmao that is the diamond painting syndrome! I’m only half done with the ones I have and I’m already looking for more 😅🤭 and thank you so much for the advice!! I was struggling! 😆🙌🏽💖💖💖

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

I honestly have to say that I have been diamond painting for quite a few years and my very favorite is Evermoment. I have a ton of the ACs and so many problems with the black drills because I enjoy doing squares. I like having customs done of photographs or of my own artwork but they also have things that you can select from. Yes you are going to have to wait a little bit of time to get them but you are going to save a ton of money. In my opinion they have the top quality of square drills on the market.

[@brandylangley1624]

I LOVE Diamond Art Club! I have no preference for round or square drills anymore. I love them both! Rounds are more sparkly and squares you get that nice click sound when you push them together.

[@riahpaigee]

I knowwwww I miss the clicks!! 😭 I’m still undecided 😭💖💖💖💖

[@ECoopsyG-sq3ym]

☕️ what a breath of fresh air! That was the first diamond painting video that made me LOL. I will enjoy watching all your videos!

😭🥹 I’m so glad you enjoyed!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@Gia_TheMusician]

Static is the WORST to deal with and is commonly caused by weather changes or in shipping😭 luckily, an easy solution to remove it is to cut up a dryer sheet into small squares. After that, you can put them in the trays/containers where you store the drills, shake them up, and leave them in there. I find this to be very effective, hope this helps!☕️

[@riahpaigee]

omg now that you say that I saw someone do that before. I was so confused I thought they were trying to clickbait me ! 😭 that makes so much sense 🤦🏽‍♀️ lmao thank you !!! I’ll definitely be trying that 😅💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@MoriahFromm]

@@riahpaigeealso using drier sheets helps with the static electricity and people I follow most of them use scented laundry beads to help with the static

[@dawnelambert1546]

It’s because the drills are resin.

[@ChantelleArts]

[@Solsiva]

The no cats thing is a nod to an Etsy brand trays called catproof because of the lid so if it gets knocked over the drills and lid stay put.

[@noellabaird4607]

I totally love your video! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Yes, the static is no fun. But dryer sheets cut small and put in bag with a shake works great. Static gaurd, blowing gently into the bag of drills and swiping with alcohol on a cotyon swab all work well too. I love DAC. I love both Squares and Rounds too.

[@riahpaigee]

I just tried the blowing trick !! 😭 thank you 🙏🏾!!!!

[@Gracies_Diamonds]

The static is hard. You can use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or add a dryer sheet into the tray to remove static. You're amazing with circles, Riah. I personally love both. They have their own special querks!! Beautiful picture, cant wait to see the end result ☕️🥰

[@riahpaigee]

What does AB mean

[@riahpaigee]

@@MxSae it’s a especially shiny drill kinda iridescent looking!✨💖

[@MxSae]

@@riahpaigee I found that out, but why is it harder to place? I’ve heard that they take the wax out of the pen

[@danacorbin2054]

😊😊☕️round drill will always have more shine square drills have a shimmer to them, but square drill are best for large painting that needs lots of details to pop.

[@riahpaigee]

Someone was just telling me that ! I had no idea !! 🤯💖💖💖💖 now I can’t wait to do a big one with squares😩 I’m addicted !!

[@tinageyer]

☕ I just stumbled on your video I loved watching it. There are a couple different ways combat static. First dryer sheets cut them up into small squares and put them in with your drills. Also, you can get some alcohol and a Q-tip dip the Q-tip in the alcohol squeeze the excess liquid out of the Q-tip and run that through your drills. One more thing LOL if you breathe into your drills almost like you were going to fog up a mirror so you can write on it make that same breathe into the bag of drills it adds moisture and that will take away some static

[@LibraryOfDiamonds]

Had to come right as I saw you posted a video of diamond painting!

[@riahpaigee]

You’re so sweet 🥹 💖💖💖💖!!

[@reemCGR]

you can use Wax Rhinestone Pencil or Crayon to pick up AB Drills =)

[@Solsiva]

Hey, more engagement. I'm team square because you get a sharper smaller image and I hate the glue between the drills being open to catch dirt. Rounds go faster. I think they are equally shiny. ☕️

[@riahpaigee]

I’m gonna have to try Dac square drills I bet they’re beautiful! I hate the glue too, that’s one of the reasons I chose squares for my big diamond painting. And THANK YOU so much for all your comments 😭🥹🥹💖💖💖💖

[@SweetPea112]

Way to go placing round drills with tweezers! They work best with squares, but you did a great job. Diamond Art Club has changed their tool kits, so the washi and cover minder are gone, and they have changed their pens, too. You'll love the new tools. Hope you are enjoying your new kit!

[@riahpaigee]

😭 why would they take those out !? I’ve never tried their pens tho, I saw them at hobby lobby and was gonna get one but it was like 15 bucks (I’m cheap lol) so I decided against buying them. Do you recommend ?

I hear diamond art club has beautiful square drills! 🤩

[@DiamondsAreAGirlsBestFriend16]

Hi! When you kit up, cut up small squares of drier sheets to shake around in the bag before you pour. It helps a ton! Also, I’d love to know which team you are on once you’ve tried Diamond Art club squares ☕️

I put my drills in bottles & use pieces of dryer sheets to control static. I also use trays with taller walls so they do not jump out when shaking the tray. I love Diamond Art Club!

I so felt when you said you are impatient. I started diamond painting 2 months ago and just ordered my first DAC Wednesday. I am so impatient for it to get here. Two more days ugh. 😂

[@tracybowling1156]

I looked at DAC on Amazon and their own website. While they had really cute art, none I feel match my particular style. I really looked, too. I am not into paying that much for something I am not willing to hang on the way/use as decor. I fou d way cheaper and really cool art on Amazon from some unknown brands. I really liked how they performed as well. I really like your video, tho. I even like the art you chose. It is really cool! ☕️ update: The shiny drills do look really nice!

[@riahpaigee]

I completely agree! There’s no way I could spend $70 + dollars AND 40 + hours on a picture I didn’t absolutely love. That’s why it took me so long to get into diamond painting. And even longer to try diamond art club, it’s not cheap! But it is quality. The drills are some of shiniest I’ve ever seen! I’m currently looking for similar drills on Amazon and Etsy so I can get cheaper kits and just use my own drills! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@diamondsandthoughts]

@riahpaigee yeah I got the spray from Walmart. Just spray it on a q-tip then stir the diamonds.

[@diamondsandthoughts]

@riahpaigee oh and you can use dryer sheets too. Cut them up and shake the bag with it in there or pout them ontop of the sheet and pour them directly from the sheet into the container.

[@zephyrwlf]

DAC is very expensive, but I think it's worth it for not only the quality you get with the kits but for the fact that you're buying actual licensed art from the actual artist. I enjoy my craft more when I know the artists are getting paid.

I use to think it was worth it but really no happy with the new kit. I liked my big and small sticker the cover minder and washi take and tweezers. Wlyes I can get washi tape and cover minders on Amazon but it's exciting opening the box and finding out what ones I got. Idk it just made it extra special. Yes I can get tweezers about anywhere but the black dac tweezers are the best any one that has used them knows what I'm talking about, and no the pink ones arnt the same and eww I don't like pink. The new pen is horrible. I have problems with all that taking it apart and putting it back together stuff. I've have to throw out so many cups because I can't open the lid and every time I have a bottle drink I have to have someone open it for me.
