SPOILER ALERT! Unboxing: Add More Zest Advent Calendar

[@robindaley8804]

The little pot is for when your diamonds stick together. Put the diamonds in the pot and shake the pot. The nut inside helps to separate the diamonds. It works really well!! 🙂

No way that is so smart! I was so confused and ran to the comments hoping someone explained this haha. Thanks! :)

Rebecca is my favorite UK creator/shop owner!! I have many items from her shop and LOVED the advent this year!! I also follow along on her June Waffle and Dec advent.

[@kathyweber7002]

Loved it. The blue pen is a led light click on the top and it will turn on the light

[@marianhall9126]

I was going to tell you what the little green jar was for but I think you got it by now. Lol. I've started cross stitching in 1982. I cross stitch and diamond paint. I try to do both every night.

😊 it was so much fun seeing you open this.. I have been opening mine since the 1st ... The little pot is for drills that are stuck together.. the black pick up pen is mainly for AB drills.. the pen in day 10 glows in the dark.. and yes the lovely blue pen lights up 😊 those big clips are for holding a painting on an easil.. we use the roll of double sided tape for mounting DP so they don't shift about in frames or display books .. I also use it to reinforce magnetic poster bars, which I use to hang all my paintings... loved how excited you were opening this... AMZ are planing next yrs one already 😁 Happy Xmas and the very best for 2024 to all 🎄😘🥰💚

[@siljabirgisdottir737]

The pen in #10 is a glow in the dark pen 😊

[@SheriTracey61]

The acrylic pen is Glow-in-the-dark. So much fun!!!!

[@Diamondsandstuff-tm6ux]

Tfs! It was really fun to see the Advent Calendar! Merry Christmas to you and your family! 😁❤️👍🏻🎄🎁

My favorite use for stainless steel single placer tips is using them without wax to nudge diamond into the correct place if I put them down slightly off.

[@deborahbaker1879]

I like the screw on wax tips for AB drills.

[@diamondsareforpainting]

Hi Katie, thanks for sharing. The little pot with a nut can be used as a drill separator, pop stuck drills in the pot and shake a few times and stuck together drills will be separated. Rebecca at Add more Zest has gone through each day of the advent on her channel at the beginning of her 24 day WIP and Waffle videos and gives explanation and thinking behind behind each item

[@EdieRichards-on2rb]

Those wax tip pens were the first thing I found for AB drills that didn’t make me want to scream.

I discovered diamond painting as a seconary hobby to cross stitch, and I'd say it's definitely worth checking out! I do enjoy diamond painting, but I find cross stitch to be a bit more flexible in terms of setup, I can stitch on the couchvor in the car with everything I need in a plasic bag if I want, no flat surface required, and easier to adjust position so I don't get as sore when I zone out and stitch for hours 😅

[@trish2964]

I love the black wax pen for picking up AB diamonds. I use the other side to nudge it into place, if needed.

[@Donna-o1k]

I believe the clamps can be used to keep your canvas from sliding off an angle surface.

[@aprilcampbell9747]

I have an Add More Zest tray and I love it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Katie. ❤🌲❄️🎉

[@janitarobbins2828]

I wish I had of ordered the advent calendar, time went on and I forgot

[@gretchena.9153]

I've been having fun with the AMZ Advent calendar. Sure, some of the stuff is small but some are really special. I just bought clamps to hold my DP to my drafting table, so I will be able to return them and use the ones from the calendar.

[@elizabethwarman9028]

Hi Katie, good morning from Los Angeles County. Love all the Advent products you got.

[@rebeccahutto1701]

I really really enjoyed this unboxing, the tiny painting was awesome!

[@troyklint1859]

I did cross stitch for years then I found dimand painting. This advent calendar has lot of fun stuff

[@citykatcrafter]

😊👍🎄☃️

[@Dainty_doe]

Would love to know if you end up liking the wax pen! I have seen people use them primarily for ABs and I'm curious if its better.

[@sheilabush3784]

I have that pen. ❤

[@kimberlyjohnson7195]

My main craft is cross stitching and my secondary is diamond painting

[@amandascraftycorner]

The clamps are if you roll up your canvas. Most people use it for cross stitch to roll up the larger projects. I do cross stitch. ❤❤

I was disappointed with my advent calendar. A lot of the days were cheap filler.

The tape isnt nano tape . Its that tape you put round edge of canvas if you dont have washi tape . Although i love add more zest trays . I dont think advent calender was worth money considering majority you can get off temu for pennies . Wax pen is great for abs . The tip side does same as what tweezers do when placing drills . Xx

[@TillieElaine]

That’s how I feel too. I do love addmorezest’s youtube channel and I also have bought other things from her shop that I have loved.

[@Diamondpaintingwarrior]

Yeah i agree love cover paper and trays . Advent deff not worth it . X

[@pruejones4603]

Just a tip - tape is ‘double sided’ sticky tape which has a multitude of uses not just for diamond painting but certainly wouldn’t use as washi tape replacement - could end up a nightmare 🤯

[@sandra1620-ni]

Great video. I bought this Advent calendar too and loved the contents. It's all about the fun of opening a tiny package each day in December. It was worth the price. I would love to know what the person who said they could get items for pennies on Temu would put in their 24 day Advent Calendar that would be better than the contents in this package. Just a thought 😊
