Let's Talk Diamond Painting Trays | Sharing My Favorites and Not So Favorites! | Week of Collections

[@alinagordyn]

My favorites are the once you are using as coasters, wish I had some. My coasters are too light and always stick to my glass when i use ice for my drink.

[@Nikki12096]

Love your collection. Cat-proof are my favorite trays. I also have small hands but love to fill up my tray with drills, so their long boys are definitely my go-to. Can’t wait to see your updated pen collection. 🤗

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Yess the long boys are top tier! I love them!

[@shelleymusgrave4150]

Another great haul. Thanks for the input. Helps with deciding future purchases❤

I have the newer bigger JH Envision trays and its honestly just a longer version of the smaller ones. I did an ultimate test for the cat proof trays. I threw some drills in one, capped it and handed it to my 1 year old daughter. Not a single drill spilled.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

That's good to know on the JH trays. That is definitely the ultimate test for the Cat Proof Trays! The first time I ordered I tried the flipping them around with the top on and was super impressed. One of my favorite trays for sure!

I've loved watching all of your videos. I am surprised you don't have a Washi collection! Or maybe that's something you use fast enough you don't have a chance to collect it. I just know many diamond painters who match washi to their canvas for around the outside and/or to divide the canvas into sections! Just an observation not a judgement in any way, lol! Again, I'm somewhat new to your channel and really enjoying it! Thanks for sharing your collections.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Hi Debra! I do have a washi collection 🙈 I didn't include it in my most recent video series, but I did a video on it at the end of last year. I will definitely include it next time!

[@denisehudson4723]

Thanks for sharing all your beautiful trays look forward to see your pens.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thank you Denise!

I just made my first purchase at a second tray shop today. I’ve been using the same company for the last few months and decided to branch out! Glad to hear it’s one ranked highly on your list! The variety of shops here is incredible!! I didn’t even know resin trays were possible!! Definitely seems like it would be tricky.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Yay for branching out! There are so many great shops out there, hope you enjoy your new trays!

[@rmjolly72]

I am envious of your coordination. Someday, I will get my life together and get my accessories organized. Loving the videos.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thanks Rene!

[@sylviakanel9766]

❤What an extensive review! Thanks. I, too, am looking forward to trying Bijou Bliss' new long tray. I'm hooked on the magnets!❤

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thanks Sylvia! I definitely need to get my hands on that new size soon!

[@nancysmith3151]

Thanks Laura, I am still a huge fan of the Add More Zest trays, they work really well for me as I don't like the tall sides. Some day I would like to try the Cat Proof trays. I have a couple of the other ones you have and I just don't use them. I can't wait for tomorrow, pens are my favourite!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I need to give the trays from Add More Zest some attention. It's been a while since I've used them. I recall the drills lining up really well, I'm just a super messy diamond painter so I think I was always shaking drills over the sides.

[@J-DE-LU]

I am so loving seeing your collections!!! Cat proof is my absolute favorite too. Those high sides are just the best and I love not having an open pour spout. I try other trays and always go back to my Cat proof ones! Can’t wait for the pen video!

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Yes the ease of Cat Proof's trays are just amazing! Love them!

[@deb2593]

Nice collection! Cat Proof are my fave too.

[@onlybeingchris]

Loved watching your video on your trays! They are so great!

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Thanks Chris! 🤗

Hey Laura. Thanks for a great video! I really need to buy myself some trays. Can you believe that I just use the white ones that come in the kits, and some large white ones that I bought on Amazon. My problem with shopping for trays is that I really can't handle the "fastest fingers first" thing. I only want to shop from shops where the trays are available, and I can order whenever I want. I'm not going to get sucked into the "drops" where you must be on the website or in the store as the trays go live. Nope, not fun shopping for me. So, I think my options are limited. I think I might give Nyx's Notions a try perhaps? She has some different size options that I like, the trays are reasonably priced and she has a lot of different colours available. I know that you mentioned that they aren't your favourites and so I'm still thinking. Sending hugs.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

I'm so impressed you use the trays with the kits! Every once and a while I'll grab one and I'm like oh my gosh these are so small. The Nyx's trays are definitely a good option! I like them well enough. I totally understand the aversion to fast finger drops. I don't shop them much anymore because I have so many good things already. Cat Proof trays stocks a core line of colors they they pretty much always have in stock. Bijou Bliss is also a good option, they seem to always have trays in stock. Not sure how those shops are for international shipping but may be an option for you!

[@myhappyplacewithkime1430]

@@diamondpaintingsbylaura Thanks a ton, I'll definitely look into those. The international shipping isn't really a thing for me because I use a parcel forwarding company based in NY, and so I can shop in the US and have all my packages sent there. 🙂. Happy days!

[@LisasColoringCorner]

So pretty!! Are you going to include a link to Bijoo Bliss? (I have no idea how that is spelled. Lol.)

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Yes! I need to add links to the description but here’s a link for you, sorry about that! www.etsy.com/shop/BijouBlissDesign

[@LisasColoringCorner]

@@diamondpaintingsbylaura thank you!

[@ChristinePhethean]

A touch OCD?😂 I recently bought a Bella Art de Nicole gridded tray and I love it. I have bought more. I am usually a person that uses the white tray that come with the kits so you know that buying trays is a testament to how much I enjoy them.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

hahaha! I need to try the grided trays from Bella, haven't gotten to hers yet.

[@bentekik7137]

I just got 2 blissdesign today, full colored. I'm in Europe, so yeah, shipping is a bit expensive. I think I will order some 2 tones nevertheless . Just started diamond painting but got so many accessories already. it's ridiculous.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

The accessories are the best part! I love the two tones from Bijou Bliss, quickly becoming a favorite tray!

[@riot827]

What? You haven't tried FireFly Diamond Art yet? The regular sized Ignites are absolute perfection for me even though they keep coming up with crazy new features on other models.

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

They’re on my list to try! I absolutely love the way they look and have heard great things. Definitely hoping to grab a few soon!

[@JessicaGallagher0326]

Bella art de nicole started selling the corner spout ones again along with their new version

[@diamondpaintingsbylaura]

Oh that's exciting! I will definitely have to check them out again soon.
