My Top 10 Recommended Diamond Painting Companies! FAQ!

[@thediamondbelle]

Thank you for your consistent stand on artists getting paid for the job they do. Many people believe that because artists don't go to a 9-5 job that it is not a real job that should be paid for. I believe that your stand on the issue is bringing to light what some people are doing without even realizing it.

[@RachelRaeCraft]

I will keep doing it... Even if it's more expensive and limits what I can buy, it is the right thing to do.

[@sweetlady6059]

I counted and it was 11 places she recommended. I guess one extra was a bonus but good to know. I recently (as of Jan 14, 2021) found out about diamond painting from a coworker who brought in some of her stuff to work brides this I had never heard of it before! I wish I had done more research as I hastily ordered from a company and did not receive a confirmation nor an email of my purchase and now I am worried I got scammed from a site pretending to be a canadian craft diamond painting site. I had gone to google and looked up “diamond art painting Canada” and found ‘Diamond Art Collectors’ so I ordered. Did not receive any notification of my order. All they did was say thank you and show me more what’s available for “hurry now to get 20% off in next two hours” So I have no idea now if they even got my order. Wish I had checked your video first and no idea how long it will take to get to me or anything.

Thank you, this was tremendously helpful! I just wanted to add that Joann's, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby sell Diamond Dotz.

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Perfect, thank you! It's hard for me to say since I can't go over and check them all out (man, I wish I could go back and shop til I drop again! Lol)

This was very informative! I am a newbie in the dp world, but I am absolutely addicted! 😂 I started about a month ago, or so, and wasn't really knowing anything about the artists side of things, until now! Thank you for sharing that some places don't give the artist credit for their work. I am going to make sure I purchase kits from websites that give artists the credit they deserve! 😊💜

[@madeirabrickwood5511]

Thank you so much Rachel. Even though I’ve been diamond painting for a year now, I find it hard to remember which stores have licensed work and poured glue. While DAC is my go to store, it’s nice to be reminded of other options. I’ve personally completed DAC, Staroar and Diamond Dotz and love and recommend all three. I’m excited to explore work from different artists and from different sites.

[@theresalozo2871]

Dear Rachel, I received a small Diamond Dots hummingbird kit from my daughter for Christmas, and I am seriously addicted! I started watching your videos, and I love them. I would like to honor you for your integrity in endorsing these kits. Blessings to you and Happy New Year from Arizona!

I love watching you. Being hard of hearing, I love the captions because even though you have a mic in front of you you speak too softly for me to hear. ❤️

I think I watched this video for the first time about a year ago. So cool to watch it again now that I am more “educated” on the wonderful world of Diamond Painting. I am currently working on a Craftibly canvas and it is wonderful. They DO have excellent customer service!

[@AmyObsessivelyCrafty]

Thank you Rachel for this video! I am glad to see some good companies out there! And thank you for featuring my company 🤗

[@gilbertblum6922]

Its so nice that you support the work of the artists. Many companies sell pictures without the permission of the artists and without paying for that piece of Art. So, I'm always happy to see people who take care of the licencing rules. Many greeting from Germany.

Firstly, thank you so much for all the time and energy you've put into your videos-- I LOVE how thorough you are!!

[@a-beller.4996]

Diamond Dotz where the first diamond painting I tried and thats what got me hooked! I do reccomend them but they dont have the biggest selection.. but the glue is the best I have used so far and I really enjoyed my kits but... I do not know if they have full drill paintings,they might but all I hsve used it partial!

[@tinyworldsofwonder]

This is a great video, Rachel! Thanks for taking a strong stance on this issue. It is tricky to navigate but so important for people to know about. Well presented, well organized, and great information!

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Thanks, love. 💜 It's easy to just.... Pretend it isn't happening. But unfortunately it looks like art theft will never stop unless we make the choice to take a stand!

@@RachelRaeCraft So true. It feels overwhelming to try to stem the tide. :( I admire you, and you know I have your back all the way!

[@tdalton1970]

I’m currently working on my first square drill. It’s from Diamond Dots. They may be easy to buy however the square drills are not consistent. They vary in size quite a bit. Not all are separated. Lastly many need to be trimmed. This is difficult due to the size. On the plus side the canvas is nice.

[@elisabetesilva1825]

Thank you. ❤ Am doing my 1st diamond paiting and am fully addicted already. Wasn't thinking about certified images, but now maked all the sense in the world and will be sure to give the artists they deserved merit and payment. Also, just saw 2 of your videos and already subscribed (and commented, which I normally don't do).

I checked out every site you listed. Just an FYI: Blushing Blackbird is taking a break. Did not say how long. Thanks for the places to check out. Found a lot of pretty works. Can't wait to start ordering!

[@bonnielerner9648]

I couldn't remember how I found Craftibly then I remembered this video. I received my first DP yesterday (pre-ordered Aug 5 and was supposed to be shipped around Aug 25, got it Aug 31). I cannot praise them enough! I was updated on shipping many times. The DP came in a sturdy cylinder container, there was even an invoice! A large instruction sheet, nice tool kit, a large key/sheet that is a sticker so that I can cut and use them on my containers! I love this because I have no way to copy the key. The drills are in baggies with very clear #s, they look good, I haven't opened yet. The canvas is very legible and sticky. I am so impressed with this kit, and the customer service so far is excellent! One more thing I'd like to mention is they are in Texas. I highly recommend Craftibly.👍

[@karengausman1459]

Hi, I am new to your channel and I appreciate the video. Good to know that there are diamond painting companies here in the U.S. I heard of your channel from other diamond painting youtubers and wanted to have a look.

I LOVE Craftibly!!! Yes, they also have a brick and mortar store. All their paintings come in a hard plastic telescoping tube, with many extras. Got a Christmas painting on sale: 18 x 36" with 68 colors for $29.99 + shipping. Can't say enough good things about them!!! Try them sooner rather than later :)

Thank you for this video.

[@pamelaheck8105]

Thanks so much for this video. This was so helpful to me and I am sure a lot of other new diamond painters. You have been so helpful to me. The only thing I disagree with is Diamond Dot. That was the first I bought I was so disappointed in it. They only had partial and the drills were totally bad. I just was not impressed. Since that first one I have bought a lot of paintings. I have only done three but what a difference in companys. Thanks so much for all your advise and videos and please keep up with your channel I just wait for a new one to come up. I have watched a lot your older ones to. Thanks again love your channel.

[@dsvtol8284]

Thank you for this video! As a newbie to the world of diamond painting I made the mistake of getting really excited by the choices and ordering from two companies online without doing research (like watching this video!). Sadly I got burned. Recently I happened to find a Diamond Dotz kit in my local Michael's store (USA) and picked one up so I wanted to share my impression with you since you can't get one. I am so very happy with this kit! The canvas is a nice thick linen - it is even sewed with a pretty scallop edge that won't ever be seen once it's framed but makes my inner crafter giddy with happiness. The image is fantastic with easy-to-read icons and wonderful colors. The drills are very colorful and fun to use - there are even two AB colors, which is a first for me! The kit came with some very nice accessories that I've seen you show with other company kits like DAC (tray, pen, sticky stuff, rubber squishy for the pen, and baggies). Also, the price was so much easier on my pocket book - nearly half the price of the online sites I looked at. I'm well into the kit now and can't stop - I love it! Now my only complaint is that they don't have more variety to choose from. I want more - ha! So feel free to recommend them because the quality is great, the kit is well put together, the picture is gorgeous (hot air balloon over the desert), and they're nicely affordable. Keep up the videos - they've been very helpful and your accent is lovely to listen to!

[@RachelRaeCraft]

Thank you! That was lovely. I hope you enjoy.

Appreciate the information. I’ve tried most of your list and have had excellent results. I found Diamond Dotz at Hobby Lobby in the states. My local Michaels store does not carry anything diamond painting related. I probably have 10-15 of the inexpensive kits from the bulk production houses. But when I finish what I’m working on and looking for my next painting I always seem to grab the DAC or DIYMoon. They are a bit more expensive but worth every penny. Appreciate you Rachel! 🦄

DAC is good if you want the few in stock but new stock you can never get them they say you have to be ruby status which means you have to buy the few on their page to get to that rating which if you dont like them you wont be able to get them cause the ruby people get to buy new ones first and they are out of stock before you can buy any. And when you preorder they have your money and you wait months to get them. Also I use to be Ruby but I guess they changed the awards points now I am not not sure why all 8 of the paintings I bought are within last 6 months

I don't know about in the diamond painting world, but in the stamping and die cutting world aliexpress is reviled as a den of knock offers(if that's a word) (meaning people who steal designs from others and pass them off as their own for-profit usually at inferior quality) and is shunned and reviled, just saying
