Diamond Painting: how to create your own custom patterns in Photoshop

[@kalisaxa]

Nell, i don't have words to say how grateful i'm for this tutorial. i was feeling so sad and frustrated, 'cuz this is new for mee and i couldn't find an answer. really, thank you so much.

[@nellfallcard]

Happy you found it useful! 😄

[@nerminsabea9142]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I have one question, is it possible to know how many crystals each color are?? So we can arrange total stones we will use for each color. Thanks in advance😊

[@julieboyer3900]

I love your tutorial, plus your accent. If anyone misses anything you’re say, they can go to transcripts and read it for clarity. 😊 like me!! I was listening intently and taking notes, the transcript helped me understand better. Thank you

[@nellfallcard]

Haha thank you for your feedback! I will try to improve my pronunciation, in the meantime I will keep an eye for the captions to be accurate 😄

[@genesisdorantes2614]

Just letting you know there are specific diamond paintings that come with shiny diamonds.Like I ordered one of a pineapple and it had so many and super shiny gems!

[@less514]

Thank you been looking for this forever

[@ertfgghhhh]

I cant hear u. Plz adjust the volume of ur video. I want to get into this cause i like the kits but HATE the pics available

[@IraQNid]

Pretty results. Since the whole trend is basically printing a cross stitch pattern onto something you could have saved a whole lot of time by using something like PC Stitch, export or print the pattern as an image with or without black and white or color symbols. The software lets you choose beads to use with it instead of threads. All in all this looks really cool.

[@nellfallcard]

Can you choose the color palette on PC Stitch? As in "I've got only these 6 bags of different color beads and I want for the program to convert this particular image into a pattern that only uses these 6 specific colors" ?

[@IraQNid]

Yes. You can choose from hundreds of colors across many types of threads and beads. Your pattern can be up to 999x999 stitches/beads with up to either 250 or 500 colors. The last time I used it I saw the colors for each type of thread/bead manufacturer plus their standard color codes. The color codes are uniform for each brand so you can look them up in craft stores and online. PC Stitch has a free trial version that does everything but print. If you like it pay for it and your trialware becomes fully featured.

[@szarritty4515]

Nell Fallcard what will happen if you order the get no diamonds?

[@mrssmiff0312]

Is there a tutorial on pcstich on how to do this? I've downloaded the trial version but unsure what to do

[@DJdemonking]

I could use some help. I'm doing exactly the same thing as you but where you get the grid at 6:38, all I'm getting is a pixelated version of my image, no grid and it looks choppy.

[@nellfallcard]

I think it is the way the new version of photoshop look like nowadays, because I no longer see the grid either unless I zoom out real close. Seems we will have to work with that :

[@DJdemonking]

@@nellfallcard dang. Ok. Thank you.

[@lizzproctor6412]

Great video! It was just what I wanted. I wanted to learn how to customize my own picture in Photoshop. Thank you so much.

[@messmissy5119]

Thank you for this tutorial. Where I live these kits are over priced when compared to their prices on dollar and there is only one store who sells them in the entire country. I might try to make my own kits with the themes I actually like, just need to find out about glue and tools. I hope to see more videos like this in the future.

[@gilajacobsen2881]

Wow nice. Do you like the end product? Did you frame and hang it?

[@kafkollectif525]

This video is amazing! I picked this video because it was half as ling as the other side saw. I thought 10 min was great and then she explained it all in under 5 min!

[@lizzproctor6412]

To clarify the question about Photoshop adding symbols, are you saying there’s no way to get symbols added in Photoshop?

[@nellfallcard]

At the moment of recording this video, I didn't know a way to add symbols in photoshop that wasn't plain put them manually, which would be painfully slow to do, so I relied on in my sight to be able to tell the colors apart... but now that you mention it, there might be a way around, let me test it and, if it works, I will upload a video explaining how. Thanks for watching!

[@nellfallcard]

@@daviciawilliams5677 It did! I added the video to my channel, it should appear in the suggested videos at the end of this one 😊

[@dltluis73]

Me encanto! Tu acento también.

[@jwatley313]

That was brilliant!!

[@sammicollette]

Thank you for the tutorial it's exactly what I've been looking for! Can I just ask whether there would be a way of adding symbols on the picture like you get on the purchased canvases with a legend in the border?

[@nellfallcard1043]

Hi! Unfortunately, other than manually adding them I do not know a better shortcut. What I do is to use distinct colors for the squares and use that as my guide instead of symbols.

[@brawyn777]

love your ideas,but i cant hear you,are you using cardboard and glue? would really love to make my own as well, can someone please upload an easy way to do this without paying a fortune?

[@nellfallcard]

Yup! Cardboard and glue 😄, you can use basically any surface you can print and your glue can work on.

[@eranabramovich]

you should buy and use Clear Double sided adhesive you lay it out on top of all the pictures and use it like the one you buy from China instead of using glue!

[@nellfallcard]

Great tip, thank you!

[@shiningheartsuae]

Thank you i love it so much 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@PorkGyoza]

how do you print the image on the canvas?

[@nellfallcard]

I didn't. I printed the image on a thick ornamental paper which in my opinion is better than a canvas because it is rigid and therefore easier to work on and frame. My guess is the products that are sold are printed on canvas because most of them come from China and canvas is better fit to survive a long trip overseas without getting mauled, but if you are printing at home that's not a problem you need to solve for 😄

[@gailjones7186]

Where do you buy all the diamonds?

[@nellfallcard]

I get mine from AliExpress, you just search for "rhinestones". They take some time to arrive since they come all the way from China but so far is the cheapest option I've found. Good quality too!

[@catherinespencer1450]

What's up with the sound? Can't understand what's being said... Really was needing to hear this video.

[@nellfallcard]

Hi! What problem are you experiencing? I can hear the video just fine 🤔

[@janaytaylor2344]

Thanks

[@cefev]

Tsssssssssss chingón!!!

[@annettewayne1988]

You did not explain this well enough for people who don’t have the same skills as you do and I missed what app you are using and this is not worth it to me!

[@nellfallcard]

The title states very clearly "how to make your own custom patterns IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP". Any expectations regarding a different type of content is no longer my responsibility, nor is my duty to educate random strangers on skills they do not possess to understand a process which is described in the very title of the video. You are not the target audience and never was, I have no need for entitled commenters. Have a nice day.

[@techcurve4209]

I would like to know how you make the paper adhesive and , i would like to know form which site you got DMC beads for your painting... if you don't mind would you like to let me know your email or phone number for help and orders

[@nellfallcard]

Someone didn't watch the video 😅, the info is all there 😜

[@techcurve4209]

@@nellfallcard i saw the glue you are using, but still looking for more information about beads, buying .. those are not availible in my country..

[@nellfallcard]

@@techcurve4209 I don't think I can be of much help there, I just Google what I need and compare prices. I recommend to get in touch with someone from your own country who has done it 😅
