Kit up of 250 colour Josephine Wall diamond painting - Libra 90x72. Took 6 hours! My complete method

[@joannagillard1028]

I like that you tried to kit this up without adding tonnes of extra cost in the process. For spared I put a little dot on the corner of my container labels to signal there are spares and when they are all gone I put a line through the dot.

Hi Joanna, that is a great idea, thank you. I may have to try that at some point 😁

Thank you for sharing!! I have a a large tic tac storage box (135) and this is very helpful. 💜💎💜

Thank you very much, I think it's a great idea! I just bought a canvas from DpDeutchland and I didn't know how to organize myself to make it easier and faster. thank you.🙌🙏

Hi Lola, you're very welcome and I'm pleased you found it useful. You can't leave me guessing though, which DPD have you gone for? 😁

[@stonemagpie]

@@lida77lideta Oh yes I hear you. I remember feeling quite overwhelmed when I received my first one. I found it helpful to think of it as doing 4 diamond paintings all at the same time. When I broke it down in my head like that I felt I had more control of it. You will be fine 😀 Enjoy 💎

Thank you for explaining how you decided to kit this up! I guess everyone’s brain works a different way. For me, trying to categorize the symbols and then remembering what category a “Moon” for example was in, would be so tedious that it would become stressful while working on the painting. So I would likely sort by DMC number in Color order. eg. all the blues together etc. But that’s just how my brain works. LOL! Everyone is different!

Absolutely Debbie, we all have our ways of doing things which makes it so interesting to hear other people's views and techniques. :)

I use tic tac boxes and the coloured ones been using them for years I hsventhad any brake on me hun x

[@stonemagpie]

Hi Elaine, I usually use tic tac boxes with no problems and the new coloured boxes are doing a good job too, really like them. I had heard that they can come open too easily once they've been used for a while but I've not had that problem. Thanks for your comment, I hope to 'see' you again soon.

[@BellatheBeast99]

They open easier when you start using them.

[@stonemagpie]

Yes, now I've started I can definitely tell which colours I'm using more of with how easy the boxes are opening :) Just hoping they don't start opening on their own! Thanks for your comment Bella.
