OMGoodness Megan! You are a total life saver! I had the 82ct storage system in my cart on Amazon ready to order in a week or two. 40.00 EACH!!! You just saved me a TON of money! Unfortunately they are sold out of the 82ct storage system at the craft website you gave us but I made an account and signed up to be notified when they come back in stock! Tysm again! Love N Blessings!

I also learned the hard way on those little square containers ... still love them though ... just more careful.

[@bertiehardison2689]

I absolutely love the 82 piece Elizabeth Ward storage units you purchased from consumers craft. At the moment I currently have 12 of them. When I found they could be purchased for almost half of what everyone else was selling them for, I jumped on them. Thankfully it was after Christmas therefore I had Christmas cash and Consumers Craft was having an awesome sell. I also use Harbor Freight containers as well as Darice’s storage boxes with individual containers in them. I purchased those from CC too for 2/5.00. Again, I love when CC has a sale. There are numerous ways of storing the drills. What works for me may not work for you. I love having the freedom to decide on our own what works for us. Interesting when I see people brow beating someone over something as simple as storage boxes. To each their own.

I bought one of those storage systems from amazon Prime Only had to pay $13 dollars for mine I used my reward points on them and got a light pad all for $27 not bad. The storage containers are ok but nit big enough for me and a bit hard to take apart. I found that the craftmate containers are really good. They have 56 container storages in them but still aren’t big enough fur all the drills. Thanks for your helpful review on storage containers!!!!

[@nini.crafts8297]

THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing! You saved me SOOOO much money:)... I almost bought the 82 storage system from Micheals @54.99 each. but just couldn't do it and then I came across your video. I ordered them from consumercrafts @$20.00 each.

[@preschoolteacheraddictedto1239]

The Midwest Stitcher Glad I could help!! 👍🏻🤗🤗🤗

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

great storage are the harbor freight ones too

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

Best way to clean greasy drills use baby wipes works great no dry time and mush them around inside a sheet then pour out on a paper towel try it works great what i love is no dry time

[@sheilahkilmurray4162]

When my drills come like that, I pour them into my hand and rub them. Takes a lot of the oil or whatever that is, off.

[@aussieragdoll4840]

Have you looked at getting a silicone tea leaf strainer? It has a roundish section with a lid that is mesh. You put your drills in the container, close the lid and then press the plunger at the end of the handle. It agitates the drills in your soapy water. Then rinse using the same method in clean water. Then lay out the drills to dry.

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

if you have sticking drills take two of the same size drill boats lay drills out use one ontop of the other and press down and wow you'll hear all the drills pop apart

[@karenoderkirk1831]

Just purchased the darice storage but got the one that has the four different size containers within the large storage, you can also buy the different sizes to make things more accustomed to your needs. Dont use the labels. Bic marker and when finished wipes off with rubbing alcohol ready for next project.

[@berthadockett5010]

Karen Oderkirk was

[@karenoderkirk1831]

Bertha dockett i was what?

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

I had seen the rubbing alcohol trick also! Just keep on rubbing and the Sharpie marker will come off 👌😊

[@karenoderkirk1831]

mademoisellekaya comes off fasr a d easy, no work really to get it off, one swipe and its gone

[@rickilieberman2136]

Will you show us your demo label maker, please! Ricki

[@lyrehc77]

I bought the one with the pink latch at Joannes after I saw your video but I have problem closing the containers - as if the thread don't match though it eventually closes. Just wondering if you have that issue and I got a bad one. I'd like to get more but won't if you have the same issue. Thanks.

[@janicekirkland2375]

I have just recently started diamond painting and I love it. I am doing a large painting now and know you need to roll it up on the ends as you work. My guestion is, do you roll over or under?

[@k.jskaleidoscope1229]

How do you know your colors if you don’t label? What do you do with all your diamond paintings and do you frame them?

[@wintrykiss]

i love that tray but they are always out of stock ill get it someday lol

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

they say that if you freeze them ive heard that sticky stuff stays off and people store sticky ones with a static sheet

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

ok being a know beaded tapestry artist i have tons of Elizabeth wards now what i wanted to ask you since we order for different sellers i found that when i have left over drills and i use the same labeling machine you have the colors vary i mean i match them up to my DMC sample card but i hate to blend different shades do you? i guess it just adds shading

[@irishrose7053]

I got some at joannes the one with the screw stack jars i am not crazy amout them they r hard to open close

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

baby wipes work great or use a strainer with dawn

[@peterrose6383]

I got a diamond Painting and it had 29 colors and all of the drills were oily and i got the seller to resend the all of the replacement drills

[@BBMc107]

Do not be afraid of confrontation. You can be firm and polite. I have found, chances are, they don’t care about production quality. They care about a fast easy dollar. Make them replace or refund. That is the only thing that gets their attention. I have kits mailed from China in a plastic bag-no padding, so crushed as to be unuseable and they tell me, “you finish. It no effect work”. I keep requesting a refund until I get one or I report fraud to the credit card. Your money was hard earned. Don’t let them bilk you out of it. If you aren’t enjoying the process, you shouldn’t have to live with the consequences of someone elses actions. It is so hard for people who care about what they do to understand the lack of work ethic in others, but it happens all the time.

[@thepondisgreen]

Hi i cant believe how cheap the storage containers are but dont ship to the uk. does anyone know were i can purchase these in the uk x

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

wanted to give you heads up i have gotten the best large canvas flowered zippered carrying bag that fits all my drill supplies and 2 full trays of my elizabeth ward and my lite box 17" i can show you what it looks like omg its awesome and stitched handles perfect for traveling

[@lucianosonia14sl]

Can you use your left over drills with other pics. Like can you store it in a jar together.

[@jailynp9080]

Sonia Luciano I think you can you just have to make sure they have the same dmc number and there the same color. Also make sure that one isn’t lighter than the other or darker than the other.

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

Thanks for showing! Megan, could you say approximately how much the littlest jars you mistaken ordered can hold on amount and also about the new bigger jars? Btw, I'm going to look if I can buy that from my Country because a lot on Amazon or elsewhere doesn't sell over here. Thanks so much for showing and sharing 👌😎😊 Edit.. shoot, this site doesn't sell to The Netherlands.. we don't even have Amazon and need to buy via Germany because Dutch people aren't willing to make a Dutch Amazon site.. somehow this Country is to small or whatever's going on 😖 There are NUMEROUS craft stores I can't buy from but I love all the craft stores or even the Dollars Store because here in this tiny country it is horrible to find the good stuff..😓 I wished I could find somebody who is willing to help me out to buy things from the State's to me someday.. I keep hoping but for now I keep stuck. Even though, I'm enjoying your video's with much pleasure 😄💋

[@preschoolteacheraddictedto1239]

I’m so sorry I forgot to answer your question!! The small baby jars hold 3 bags of color at the most (and it’s REALLY full). The larger ones hold about 7 or 8. Sorry again for the delayed response!! ❤️❤️

[@Eggdcr8tr]

I wonder if there is a way to wash them? Maybe in a small mesh bag or something?

[@aussieragdoll4840]

Eggdcr8tr i have a silicone tea leaf strainer. It has a plunger at the end of the handle... check on ebay.

[@lucianosonia14sl]

Like i see you have lots of jars n i see lets say the black ones, cnt you just put all the blacks together.

[@katiemarsh6875]

How much are they

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

never be afraid to report to the seller you paid for it so we all try to help one another from getting bad reviews or having same issues so do tell them

[@karynwalker6897]

I am just starting diamond painting and watching a lot of you tube videos about it. My question is...why do you save your extra "diamonds"? And are they universal..meaning can the same color "diamonds" be used on other projects for all different salers?

[@preschoolteacheraddictedto1239]

Karyn Walker I just posted a video where I answer all your questions! It’s called “All You Need...” Watch it and let me know if you have any further questions. 😊

[@karynwalker6897]

Thank you for you quick responds..better yet..a video to watch. Funny thing is that i was watching it before i saw ur reply and was thinking " oh wow..i just asked a question about this" lol thanks again

[@jillkessner8766]

i have these

[@clairesteen9445]

They are charging £50 for the Darice trays on Amazon UK! What a rip off! They used to be about £30. Nowhere else is selling them in UK apart from eBay and they are even more on there. Gutted!

[@MsBEARDIELOVER]

NO there isnt 82 there's minus 3 one for the cover , the case, and the labels, and the same with her 45 kit minus 3 so there's really 42 containers

[@bertiehardison2689]

Does it matter? I can’t for the life of me figure out why people have to be so critical over mundane things.

[@joyvalenta276]

I am sort of the same with the drills. I don't mind when they are oily. also I find there tends to be less flawed drills this way. I wonder if the oil is a trick they use to get a better pour and release when casting them. Anyway, It forced me into using tweezers, which is now may favorite way to lay square drills. So positive outcome in the end.
