😩STATIC GATE😩 The saga continues …. I’m gonna lose it😭😭😭

[@EchoesofColour]

Hello!🤗 If the drills of a certain colour will not fit in the storage container, I pour in what will fit in the container. Any leftover drills remain in the issued bag/container, and I use small binder clips to temporarily seal the bag. Take care and all the best.😎

[@teresakooser5695]

I also wipe my container and the boat with a dryer sheet before pouring any drills

[@sommerc4633]

I snag every last one. And i keep a baggie of "lost" tiles just in case.

[@zanoni1207]

I'm completely OCD with my diamonds, never leave any behind, fight with the bags and get every last diamond out 🤣

[@franmarygold9223]

Wow, that is crazy. However making progress my friend. Keep going, you got this. We got your back. YEA!!!

Hello! In your place, I would leave the stones in their bags and put them in numerical order, with what you have duplicated, (number, symbol and DMC) stuck on each bag (I guess you have some narrower double-sided adhesive tape around the house..) And them - I would have put in 2-3 the lids of the trays (possibly) from the containers, standing up, not lying down, of course, as I said, in numerical order, one after the other, in order. It seems to me that the work was less, and if you worked on a square of 10X10 CM or 15 x15 (I would have preferred 10-12X10-12 cm...) I think everything was easier. I didn't work as big as this, but I also had 100x100 CM (work space) with 182 colors, of course with numbers, letters, symbols. I did not stick the tape on the protective plastic to divide the work space, as I usually do, like you. I took it out and put sheets of baking paper (as you can see through them) and cut each square that I was going to work on. (I have a cutter for cutting paper). That's what I did, as I described to you above...I made the portions so small because it was a crazy mix of letters, numbers and symbols, sometimes it made me dizzy...) In principle, it should be kept in containers it's about the same space it occupies, right? Anyway, keep up the good work and I admire you for your courage!

[@gaylynngambardella]

I feel your statice struggle, I finally put mine in the freezer overnight and IT worked!!🎉

[@duffyjones4476]

Haha just reached 24 mins you asked the question whose worried about the last 5 when kitting up. I’m packing away my first one into baggies… and actually picked up/out single ones I found to put into their bags… I’m so OCD 🤣🤪

[@cynthiagant774]

When you gotta go you go!! My age says, “mess around if you want to. I’ll start without you.” 😂😂

[@The_Crafting_Gamer]

I love to kit up too and I am the type that get every drill in the boxes. I would love to know where have you gotten those boxes you put your drill in when you kit up

[@debijohnson7289]

310 looks pretty decent

[@jerisprudence2]

I put a tiny tiny bit of baby powder to loosen the static and it 100%works for me.

[@debijohnson7289]

HEY GRACE AND MR. MILO!!

[@traceyowen2437]

Loved your video you have a lot of patience then me i hope that the picture will turn out great in the end thanks for sharing ❤

[@debijohnson7289]

Always get out the last drills it would feel like I forgot something, a bit distracting, usually keep a little baggie for strays in case some jump out of tray, fall off pen, so I don't loose any, so far it worked

[@Starlightxxoo]

Water cancels out static. If your home is relatively dry. I’d recommend a humidifier in your studio for a couple hours. Or put the drills in your bathroom and when anyone has a steamy shower it should get rid of any static. Good luck!

[@tracygoodenough7198]

i haven’t been able to diamond paint for awhile due to the c word i am half though a canvas and it’s been sitting on my desk for 7 weeks i expecting my drills to be very bad with static in my storage pots but they wasn’t the tin foil did it’s job no static in pots

[@Painting-diamonds-MagicJB]

Mexican jumping beans galore. It can drive one in a spin. I would probably flip out, allthough I do like kitting up too.

[@debijohnson7289]

PROGRESS GIRL...PROGRESS!!

[@diannaofuasia4480]

Just a thought regarding static: Rebecca from Add More Zest puts a dryer sheet in the baggie and then shakes the living daylights out of the bag, and it coats and calms the drills pretty well. Better than stirring the dryer sheet and drills with your finger or tweezers.

[@anna-mareeeksteen5094]

I was thinking all through the first video and now this one that Rebecca should have a go at these statics. They don’t stand a chance!😂 She did a video recently kitting up a painting with loads of static drills.

[@irenec4210]

That is wayyyyyy to many I am coming close to finishing ‘Dragon and Fairy Swing’ I am a confetti girl but this was Allllllll confetti. Every inch has no less than 5 colors in it. It took me almost 3 months, longest ever. I work on one painting at a time. It was a lot.

[@EchoesofColour]

Congratulations on the progress with your canvas, especially with confetti!😎

[@mkroberts77]

You should try getting a humidifier. It should help with the static electricity.

[@mariacabral1218]

could you add fabric sheets cut into pieces and drop them in the bag would that work

[@debijohnson7289]

Might be a bit easier to get drills out of the babies if yo cut a corner off, it helps me to get out drills at bottom, IF you don't save these baggies

[@aldonakoppenhaver4087]

Put a piece of dryer sheet in each bag, reseal, do the shake-a shake-a shake. Then pour into your containers. Take the time to put the sheets in all the bags at once, that way you should be able to go thru them and kit them all up easily.

[@GraciesDiamondWorld]

I have completed the kitting up yesterday ! You will want to watch for sure !!!! lol lol thank you so much for your support ❤️

[@dotydiva]

for the static i dip my finger in baby powder / any powder and rub my index finger and thumb together then open drill bag and rub your finger inside bag and close and shake. it works for me

[@gretatiffin6034]

I'm a get them all out of the bag - , with 229 colors i suspect i wouldn't care😂

[@KathrinHausermann]

Use a humidifier

[@ChristyBigelow]

I tried to tell you where 518 was lmao I was screaming at my phone 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ChristinePhethean]

Hi Gracie, I have heard that there are static guns that are effective but expensive. Do you know anything about it? Recently, Rebecca Warburton of 4 kids at 147, discovered that putting a largish size piece of dryer sheet in the bag and holding the top so drills don’t fly out (make sure there is air in the bag) and then shaking the bag hard for a few moments, was really effective with combatting static.

[@cynthiagant774]

Nope. I won’t chase those few little diamonds sticking around. Clearly they don’t want to live on. 😂😂❤. I take a nice piece of dryer sheet and rub and shake it in the bag then pour. Real pain in the rear!! 🤨

[@lesasnape]

need a humidifier

[@danacorbin2054]

If you are up for weird I put mine in the fridge overnight ( I forgot to get them out lol) that did it fir me😂 but it is weird

[@vonnekeiser209]

The more you work on this, the more I think I'd keep my drills in DMC order with my spares and just keep my stickers on a chart (organized by symbol like you) for reference.

[@irenemeyer6220]

Hi Gracie, put stick tape over your paper number before you put it in the freezer.....

[@janbeal9604]

🤐😻😻😻😻

[@dpmummaaftermidnight4252]

I’m the person that has to get last drill also you’re meant to open the bags when you put them in the freezer ❤

[@shirleymason3853]

Have you tried a coin?
