[@SoCraftastic]

Hi everyone! I thought this product looked really cool & wanted to share with you all. What products should I test next?! This Sunday I will be posting the Doodle A Day challenge from my bullet journal & next week the May bullet journal spread will be up! (Sorry for the delay. It is part of a collab & we had to push it back a week.) I hope you all have a great weekend! ♥︎ Sarah

[@zerozilchnada5373]

Words of advice, dont start at the bottom of the piece or the completed section ends up in your lap, and use Blu Tac instead of wax its tackier and lasts ALOT longer. You can buy the stylus separately but you can also make your own from a biro. Ok enough said!

[@Star-tw9dg]

I have also heard it's a lot better to start at the top an work your way down

I'm just getting into Diamond dotz. Ive done 2 small kits, a butterfly & a cupcake and have two larger ones to do. A multicoloured cat and a gorgeous Pegasus. I've also got several other small ones to do and I'm going to do some christmas cards for my family and some close friends. The pictures look so stunning when they are done and it is super easy to do too. I usually listen to music while doing one. Very relaxing and calming. Great therapy for my depression & anxiety...

[@nikkiecurlee1015]

I have 4 I haven't started yet but I'm trying to get all my supplies together before I start. They are all horses because I love horses and I have family members that do too so they make great gifts for people.

That sounds great! I’m sure they will love it

[@nolliesworld1793]

I have done about 20 of these and i am addicted. Its calming and a good way to to take your mind off od things

[@KimBeckius]

Painting with diamonds! I ought to try it lol

[@SoCraftastic]

You should! I enjoyed this.

[@Sammymc]

If you would like to do this I would not recommend buying a kit this expensive. You can kits MUCH cheaper on wish, walmart's website, or even amazon. I'm talking 5-10 dollars and you can get a nice kit. They all come with a stylus, bead tray, and wax. Though not the gripper, and most trays are a little more simple. Just search diamond embroidery or diamond painting. They're the same thing. I'm currently on my 4th kit, and have already bought a few more. They're very relaxing. And they come in much smaller sizes than this one if you want it to go faster. I also recommend buying a diamond box, Any place that sells the kit should have them. They look like pill sorters, or bead boxes, but they have individual containers for each color. I usually taking masking tape and put the corresponding symbol on each little section lid, so that they are super easy to find when you move on to the next color.

[@KimBeckius]

Sammymc Thank you for telling me this!

[@kimberly25christinesmith72]

Are they referred to as diamonds anywhere else?

[@orphan_slayer2433]

I started diamond painting this year and the first time i tried it i got adicted straight away

[@craftysammy1729]

I started March 2020 and cannot stop working on them and buying more!

[@debrasalter4311]

Defs gotta try this. Can't get my head around counted cross stitch - find tapestry too blocky. This looks fun 😁😉

[@craftysammy1729]

It’s such a great hobby! So relaxing, easy to fix a mistake and you can put it down and pick it back up without getting lost in a pattern!

[@SugawaraKoshiSuga]

I brought one of these not to long ago and did it colour by colour. It took me about 4 days to do whilst doing 2-3 colours a day. It was really fun and nice to do

[@jillfarkas]

I’ve done one of these, and they are awesome. They relieve my stress because I’m so concentrated on it I don’t think of anything else.

[@DancingShinryu]

A couple of helpful tips when you do diamond paintings. Use common Blue tack instead of the wax. You can get weeks of work out of 1 insert to the stylus. The 2nd tip. To flatten out the canvas. Pull one corner of the plastic cover to the middle, then stick down the plastic again. Repeat on all 4 sides.

[@jeannote5]

Im happy that you heard about the diamond paint,im do this since 1 year and as you say its relaxing and 1tip for you thake the blue tack to stick paper on wall! It work well to take the diamond much more long time than the wax!

[@tahneshamaeder8045]

5d diamond paintings are really fun to do I've done a few so far. I found it easier to go get the little snack containers that come in a pack of 12 from the dollar store to put the diamonds in before I even start, just a piece of tape with the number/letter on the lid of the container so I know which colors are which that way I don't have to worry about spilling and I work a lot fast having the colors already to go from the start.

[@jillianzuch1899]

I started diamond painting at the beginning of April. Amazon has diamond painting super cheep and really good quality, can’t compare the two but the legend is a bit easier to see on the ones I have purchased. Totally recommend trying diamond painting out!

[@InvisibleToOnlyYou]

I have done 3 of these things, 2 from Painting With Diamonds themselves and then 1 from 5D Diamond. I actually loved doing them

[@InvisibleToOnlyYou]

Pssst it took me a couple weeks for the first two and the last one took me a few days

[@GBunnyG]

I was just about to say, this would be a great family activity if only there were more styluses. If they sell them separately, I'd be down for this. But it's extremely time consuming, and I imagine it would be hard to do anything else (watching TV or a movie, talking to people) because you spend so much time looking down.

[@ineherman5887]

Bunny you find that online. I'm doing it now for 3 years. And i bought it online separtly so its possible im doing it toghether with my 5 year old daughter.

[@LemonBarchie]

Audiobooks are great for craft sessions ☺️

[@xmoonblossom]

I love listening to audiobooks while I paint. :>

[@kgilliland]

I got one of these for my birthday and my stepmom bought extra stuff for it so me and her can do it

[@Maggie-bg8gm]

There are more stylus I have one gaht hold I think 6 or 7

[@WMG4life]

You actually can travel with it or make it a portable activity. Or least I have. I take mine to work with me to do in my spare time. You just roll it back up the way it came in the box which shouldn't be that tight. And unroll it while working on it. If it gets to curvy to work on simply lie it out flat back at home somewhere and put some weight onto it for a few hours to overnight. It works a charm and the diamonds stick really well.

[@coffebug]

I've done a deadpool one I got off wish for $27 it took me over 40 hours and now I'm half way thru my second big one and already at 26 hours 11 minutes 65 rows in. So yes they do take a long time depending on the size and if it's a full painting or partial like yours is.(where parts of the picture do not require diamonds). Some I've had were as quick as 5 hours but they are still fun.

[@KyliesRedRoses]

My mom is picking up a rainbow zebra diamond painting from this brand tomorrow, and I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting for one to come from a different website for a little over a month, so we finally decided to just get one and pick it up! Awesome video by the way!

[@kiwi310343]

I'm so glad these are finally being sold at Michael's! I hope they make more varieties soon. You can find these kits all over the internet, but they usually take 2 months to ship because they normally come from China. So to have a few kits in local craft stores is amazing! I've done 3 of them so far and they definitely take forever, But if your not rushed then they are so relaxing and you can frame them when you finish and enjoy them forever :) Loved your video Sarah! And your new house looks amazing ♡

[@TurboBeads]

Keara Irby these look like they may become popular at some point.

[@kiwi310343]

Justin Bennett There are so many groups on facebook of thousands of us doing them! It's a bigger thing with ages 40+ but I'm hoping everyone gets into it soon :) It's easier than coloring because the colors are already chosen and laid out for you :)

[@TurboBeads]

Keara Irby thats cool, it kinda like perler beads without having to melt, and pony beads without having to string, it is like a combination of the two, pretty awesome they make kits it would be nice if you could design your own patterns as well. But this is definitely a great craft.

[@complicatednailogical3901]

The reason why the ab drills (the ones that like iridescent/metallic) are harder to stick is bc the extra shine is actually a plastic coating that makes it harder to stick. For those I use tweezers to place instead of the pen tho that does take does practice to get used to.

I believe amazon sells something that you can put your project in and take it with you if you need to travel with it. I'm sure I saw an item like that on amazon while I was looking for a diamond dotz project to do. Plus they sell extra accessories like a pen that you can load several dotz of the same color at a time to do a row of the same color all at once and they have extra wax.

I really like the ones that are beaded all the way to the edge. (Its called full drill) I’m currently working on a HUGE 3 pc tiger. I don’t think they are meant for you to just sit and work on them for hours and hours. I did 1 a few weeks ago and was just so ready to get it done I worked on it for 6 hrs and nearly killed my back. They really are fun to do and good to pass time when you are bored! I recommend giving them a shot. You can order them on eBay wish and also amazon Walmart.com if you do a search for 5d diamond painting you get all kinds of results.
