Storage Options for Completed Diamond Paintings

[@toniahunter8503]

I just started diamond painting. I live with a smoker and a few animals. right now my finished camvases are stored in a 5 gallon bag- one of those extra large ziploc bags. I love the idea of the under bed storage - definitely going to check that out

Thank you! Such an awesome idea for storing larger diamond paintings. I have a portfolio for smaller but couldn't find an option I liked for the larger projects. Definitely buying it.

Thank you so much for this information. I'm going to get that under the bed storage container right now!

Glad it was helpful!😊

I use the underthe bed storage to store mine. Xx

[@babranham]

The under bed storage bag is such a great idea. I immediately bought one. You can’t beat $10!

Thanks Angela! I really like it, and adding the cardboard on the bottom really helps keep them flat. Please let me know what you think!💜

[@pattiy8240]

I mainly roll them up and store in their boxes. But, I love that under the bed storage option! 👍💓 thanks, and looking forward to your Monday live. 🤗😁💃🍷

I like the idea of something that slides under the bed to store diamond paintings. I purchased an A3 portfolio for all my 30x40cm diamond paintings, but I have some larger canvases on order and will need to rethink my storage for those. I have limited wall space, so I try to only purchase canvases that I know I'm going to hang up once completed. I'll have to figure out my own framing/hanging solution when I get to that point. I also took a binder clip and a small piece of cardstock to hang WIP diamond paintings off of a screw-in hook that I put up high, but that feels like more of a temporary solution. Keep the awesome videos coming, Laura. I promise I'll keep watching! 😘

Thank you Travis! I was running out of room, so I needed a different storage option. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!💕

The best storage I found for my very large canvases is to go to a box moving company and get the largest size for either flat screen tv or box for moving framed art. These tend to be larger, flat boxes and slide under the bed easily.

Great idea!💜

I love that under the bed storage container. And I also love the wooden pants hanger.. I use hangers awhose hangers also or put them back in their boxes. I also have a very large cardboard Box that I that I put them in and store them in the spare room where the cats don't go lol.

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

Hi Diane! That was my biggest concern...the cat hair. This under the bed storage solves that issue!💜

[@PaintingwithPitties]

Great ideas for storing finished paintings! 😀

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

Thanks Bre!

[@MerryMakingCrafts]

Not me immediately going to Amazon and buying that under the bed storage. I’m thinking about getting 2 so I have 1 to store my WIPs and 1 to store my finishes!

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

Awesome! I am going to get another one now I know they will work. 😊

[@susanmuriellittle]

I think you have covered all options, l do use coat hangers for when lam doing 2 painting at a time ,l hang one while lam drilling the other,and the paintings l've done l put them back in there box's

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

Thanks Sue!

I am always looking for a new storage idea, so this video was perfect. I try to just buy things that I know I will display and already have a place picked out, but feel like that limits my selection. It is fun to try something new. Also, if I store them under my bed I can hide how big my stash truly is! 😎

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

Very true Jennifer! 😊

[@scarletslittlecraftycorner]

Hi Laura! I use a portfolio for my 30x40 and smaller but I've been looking for something for anything bigger. I usually just tack my big ones on the wall but my walls are getting pretty full. Thanks for the idea!

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

Hi Scarlet! I also have a portfolio for smaller canvases, but since most of the companies offer larger kits now, I needed a bigger solution that was not expensive. I hope you have a great weekend!💜

[@florabamabelle6413]

Thanks - great ideas! New sub here

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

Awesome! Thank you!😊

[@cyriousdiamondpainting3743]

I live these ideas! I’m still on a mission to find a flat storage solution for my huge diamond paintings. I can’t find a portfolio or underbed storage that will fit 80cm x 120cm

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

I have looked as well, and if you find a portfolio that large, they are very expensive. Good luck!😊

[@christinek1344]

Great ideas! I use both the pant hangers and the telescoping tube. With regards to pants hangers, I have used paint stir sticks end to end across the top on both sides of the canvas along with the claw type hangers to keep the corners from curling. It works like the magnetic scroll hangers where you sandwich the canvas in between the sticks. They are lightweight and work pretty well.

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

That's a great idea! Thanks Christine!😊

[@ellentaylor8857]

Do you seal the ones you don’t plan to frame? If so, what do you use to seal?

[@AnxietyArtAdventures]

If I do need to seal a painting that has drills that might come off, I use Aileen's Acrylic Sealer spray in the gloss finish. Just make sure you use it outside, and give it a few hours to set. 😊
