START - HAED Josephine Wall diamond painting on blank canvas

[@LisaNewf]

I just bought my first HAED pattern and have ordered the blank canvas and drills. Thanks for showing how you are doing it. That’s what I had in mind too. Thanks for showing us.

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

You’re very welcome and I Hope you’ll enjoy working on your project

[@ginnyvanoh]

I won't lie, I could sit and work on my projects while you work on this. Even if you don't talk much. It reminds me so much of how I begin cross stitching!

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Ah thanks Ginny - that's so nice of you to say.

[@chrisgreek4285]

Oooooooh, that looks like FUN❣️❣️❣️ I have done counted cross stitch for decades, and my initial thought in seeing diamond painting was that it was like stamped cross stitch; you have just confirmed that notion. I REALLY want to do one of these Josephine Wall pictures that have a couple of hundred colours; I have discovered that I enjoy confetti and seeing it all come together. This is the kind of project that I use to help chronic pain fall back by directing all my focus on it. That looks like it will be STUNNING upon completion❣️❣️

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Chris - yes it is fun, but a lot of work because of the counting - that is something that I'm not used to because I'm not a cross stitcher. You're used to it so I think you might enjoy this.

How exciting!! I would love to try it. It reminds me a lot of counted cross stitch, and I love counted cross stitch. I’m so looking forward to watching your painting come to life, it’s going to be stunning! Take care and thank you for taking us on the journey with you. ❤️

Thank you so much for making this video. I just purchased my first Crosstitch pattern, the princess panel Jasmine by Mandy Manzano. I thought I was going to have to purchase a tablet for the pattern keeper app but I love that you showed how to do it using paper and I’m definitely gonna try doing it that way. Thanks again.

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Tennille - oh I absolutely love Jasmine. I don't know how what the paper version of Creatively Stitching looks like, but the HAED paper patterns are easy to read. Good luck with your beautiful Mandie panel. Will you send me a pic once you've finished? I would love to see.

[@anitanoordenbos1584]

Het lijkt me geweldig om te doen!! Het doet me denken aan ministeck van vroeger. Ik vind het geweldig om te zien. Het lijkt me dat het verslavend werkt. Steeds nog een "grid" extra doen omdat het zo'n geweldig resultaat geeft. Veel plezier 😘

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Anita - ja, dat is inderdaad precies het gevoel. Ik was vroeger dol op ministeck LOL

[@kaylirodgers413]

I just came across your channel. Im a cross stitcher, own sooooo many cross stitch patterns, i was thinking id like to try to use one as a diamond painting. Im so glad to find this video. Its helped so much. Now to decide which pattern to try. Ive never diamond painted before🤞🤞🤞

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Kayli - I'm so glad you've found my video - there are two other creators who are doing conversions as well at this moment. Katie from Diamonds and Washi and Lindsay from Emeralds and Fairy Lights. Maybe their videos can help you as well. If you've got any questions - don't hesitate to contact me. I hope you love DP as much as cross stitching.

[@willekegietema7583]

Lisette, ik heb hier diepe bewondering voor!! Ik heb een "gewone" Josephine Wall liggen, en daar zie ik al een beetje tegenop. Dus alle tips over kitting up, zijn óók welkom. Heel veel succes met dit project!!! 👍

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Willeke - welke heb jij? Een JW van Diamond Painting Deutschland? Ik zou zeggen - indelen in kleine secties met washi tape en de symbolen bij thema bij elkaar indelen (dus letters bij letters, pijlen bij pijlen etc). Dat werkt naar mijn mening makkelijker dan per kleur of per DMC nummer. Als je met een Diamond Painting Deutschland werkt dan zou ik eerst de onderkant doen - zo kan je goed wennen aan de symbolen en daarna aan de bovenkant - tegen die tijd kan je namelijk je canvas draaien en de symbolen op zijn kop lezen (draai dan ook je doosje met drills om - dat werkt makkelijker). Als je een DAC JWall hebt, dan luistert dat minder nauw, want dat zijn een stuk minder kleuren en bovendien is het drill field super helder en zijn de symbolen heel makkkelijk te lezen. Oh en nog een puntje nu ik er aan denk bij Diamond Painting Deutschland zou ik zeker een lightpad gebruiken. Veel succes en plezier met je JWall en als je nog vragen hebt dan hoor ik het graag.

[@MissyFerguson-i5o]

Where is the picture 🎉🎉❤❤😮

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

You get the pattern and follow that - it’s a conversion from a cross stitch pattern into a Diamond painting. So you start out with a blank canvas.

[@tessblog3384]

Very smart interesting content ❤️

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Thank you 😁

[@pei0476]

oh boy. I really love Josephine wall pictures, but working on a blank canvas is going to be a huge challenge for me. I wished they released color printed canvas where I can just follow the symbols on the canvas itself and stick the diamonds accordingly. I'm enjoying watching you do this though! Thank you!

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

They have, but at this company they don't have the license to do that for Josephine Wall - they only have the license for cross stitch. For Josephine Wall 'ready to go' legally licensed diamond painting canvases you can go to Diamond Art Club, Diamond Painting Deutschland and Uniquely Yours Down Under.

[@catherinewalesiuk]

What a challenge! I would go crazy counting to know where to put each drill. This is not relaxing for me, too much thinking. Really happy to follow the progress on this one 😁

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Catherine - yes, it really is a lot of counting. If I want to relax - I diamond paint the normal way - this is just as a fun challenge on the side.

[@kitkateats]

This is awesome! I’ve been wanting to try an HAED canvas for a while now and your tips are very helpful! 😻👍🏻

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Thanks for letting me know- so glad it was helpful!

[@antheaczarna2878]

How exciting!! The colours in the last progress shot look gorgeous. Yes, I agree that it’s a very different process to standard diamond painting. Less “mindless” but because you need to concentrate it really gives you a break from thinking about the everyday while you’re working. That’s how I find it is for me, anyway. Looking forward to updates. 🤗

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Anthea - I love it....though I prefer working on this one in the morning - at the end of the day I'm just to tired to count correctly and prefer 'normal' diamond painting.

[@relaxingwithdiamonds2102]

Wow, that’s awesome 🤩. I would not be able to do it unfortunately. So looking forward to seeing how you go with it 💖

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Thank you 🤗

[@alenasmith2846]

Thank you so much for this video! I've always wondered exactly how doing it from a blank canvas worked and now I understand how you do it without getting confused and losing your place! I've always wanted to try a HAED pattern but was too afraid to try it because I've never done cross stitch before and I wasn't really sure exactly how it worked. This makes me feel like I could actually do it!

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Alena - you can do it - it really isn't that difficult. Just counting really....

[@aprilp.0129]

I love this! It’s my kinda “crazy” challenge but I must finish my DPD Josephine Wall before I consider another big one lol. I love following along with you though

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi April - just put it on your wishlist - after you've finished your DPD JWall

[@mysteries.and.mayhem]

Yep! Exactly how I would do it. The whole time you were working on it, I kept thinking you really need to use a highlighter to mark off what you've completed. And voila!! You did exactly that! I am a huge fan of counted cross stitch. I've contemplated doing a project like this for a while now. I'm very curious to see how this turns out for you. I'm sure it will be beautiful!! ❤

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Theresa - I can definitely recommend it - it’s fun, something différent and if you just take your time and do small bits at à time it’s easy to do 👍

I missed the audio on some of the video…. Have you tried pattern keeper for this? It’s a game changer for cross stitch and probably helpful for DP too.

@@laraconrad3654 Hi Lara - oh thanks for the feedback - glad to hear that. I know about pattern keeper, but I don't own an android device so I would have to get a new tablet as well - so I decided to just try this paper version first.

[@dbreezy8993]

Have you thought about getting pattern keeper?

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Yes, but I'm choosing to work on the paper version.

[@LisasColoringCorner]

Wow - a Josephine Wall. How many colors are in it? What is the size of the canvas? I am currently doing a HAED and it IS quite different. BTW have you tried Pattern Keeper to keep track of what you’re doing rather than going off a paper copy? It is definitely a game changer!! So much easier than on paper.

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Lisa - it has 90 colors. Yes, I know about pattern keeper, but I wanted to try the paper version (I don't have an android device). After this one I might buy an Android tablet and get pattern keeper - that way I can make the comparison;

[@galadite]

I love this video tutorial, has the chart been converted to diamond painting or is it still in Crosstitch style because I want to try a project like this but I’m wondering when it comes to half stitches and the pattern what would you do? I have Jane Natalie Mayhew’s Crosstitch jungle book and I would love to do the tiger out of it but I’m wondering if it would work being converted to a diamond paintings

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi, I'm not a cross stitcher myself, but from what I understand the HAED patterns are full stitch and therefore there is no problem with converting those patterns into a diamond painting. Are there a lot of half stitches in your pattern? If it's only a few, then you could correct it by hand I think, but if it's a lot that will be a very big challenge.

[@liesbeth9810]

Do you know where I can get drills only (good quality but not crazy expensive)? Ive made my own pattern and really want to make it on a blank canvas, but it’s so hard to get all the drills I need without needing to spend over 200€. Don’t know if you have the pattern also digitally, but I find it easier using an app for it that only shows the color/symbol I need instead of having it on paper.

[@LisetteCraftsandTells]

Hi Liesbeth - I bought mine from Smiths beads.co.uk - I know that Diamond Painting Deutschland sells drills as well. I don't know how big your own pattern is, but I spent approximately £ 80, - (€ 95) on the drills for my huge Anna Dittmann (63,5 by 118 cm). Yes I know about the pattern keeper app, but I specifically want to do this one in the paper version - because I haven't seen it done before and want to know how difficult it is. Maybe in the future I'll try the pattern keeper method.

[@liesbeth9810]

@@LisetteCraftsandTells thank you! I need around 550 bags of 200 drills, and ones I’ve found were asking between 0,50 and 2€ for just a small bag of 200 drills and that just gets way to expensive. Pattern I have is around 50x150 (and a 60x90 for after that one) but might make it a little smaller, not sure yet. I have tried it on paper in the past, but it just didn’t work for me 😂 to many mistakes and I prefer to tick it of by drill/symbol instead of 10x10 sections (and I’m just a nerd that loves to see how much I still need to do).
