MY DIAMOND PAINTING Accessories & Must Haves

[@shelleycoltrain9527]

I loved the journaling idea. I currently put mine into a spreadsheet, but I like how the book allows you to put the painting that was done next to the facts.

[@Crafty_Susie]

Great tip!

[@chrisgreek4285]

Ok, those jigsaw puzzle piece shaped trays are just too fun❣️ And never apologize for dog hair! We have a cat and consider “pet glitter” a badge of honour; it shows you are a good person who is kind to animals. ❤

[@emmaelwell3111]

Wow,I have only just started this past week.I have really enjoyed your video to give me ideas.I loved the idea of the journal will start one today.thank you Emma u/k

[@paulameng4011]

Oh my goodness. My friend just sent me a diamond painting, now I love those pens to pick up the diamonds you have. Of course, I should actually try it before I start buying things; said no crafter ever. Lol

[@Crafty_Susie]

🤣🤣🤣 Thats exactly right, we tend to jump in the deep end first LOL, but I'm sure you will love it, let me know when you start.

[@lorriewhite4184]

On my first painting. Learned so much in such a short time! You are delightful 🙏🏻

[@Crafty_Susie]

Thanks so much and Thank You for watching.

[@charlottesantos4199]

Love the journal idea. I paint, cross stitch, diamond paint, and sew. I am thinking about purchasing a printer for my phone so I can journal with pictures. My diamond painting is really minimal. I have one case so I can kit up the current one I am doing. I use only what the kit provides and when done, I throw out everything but the finished DP and my case.🙂 So what you said in your disclaimer is true. You can DP with what the box provides and see if you like it or not. Don’t go out and buy until you do. Because I have other crafts, room is my issue. Currently, painting is on my craft table. I have a small space to craft so my table is multi functional and needs to take turns except cross stitch. Happy crafting and holidays.

[@Crafty_Susie]

I just recently got into cross stitch, and I absolutely love it. The one think I have learned is to finish one before starting another or for me don't have more then 5 WIPS at a time. LOL Crafting is very addictive and I need to be very careful because I can over do it very fast.

[@barbwissmann5576]

Thank you. I loved the puzzle containers.

[@Crafty_Susie]

[@laureenignarro8030]

Hey Susie, new subbie here. I LOVE your channel you are so real & down to earth dog hair& all ! 😂 Question: Are the DNC numbers universal for all diamond paintings ?? I thought they were but am wondering why not store them all together. TIA. ❤

[@Crafty_Susie]

DAC does use DMC codes for the coloring chart like most diamond paining companies. But the way they make the drills are not all the same. So for example The colors may be the same but the look the drill could be very different. Flatter, not as shiny, mis-shapened thats why most people store DAC separate from their other drills. And welcome.

[@JB-sx3te]

What do you do with extra drills? Do all paintings have same numbers and symbols? Or do you have to get containers for ea different paints?

[@Crafty_Susie]

I usually bag the extra drills back back up in individual bags or pour them in a drawer, no each painting doesn't necessarily have the same amount of colors it all depends. And as far as the containers when you finish up a painting you can reused it for the next one, I just personally have several different types. I hope this helps.
