The Video That Made Me Want to QUIT Diamond Painting *Organizing 500 diamonds CHALLENGE *

[@fevley]

Those extras would be great way to depict confetti! Doesn’t even have to be for a diamond piece, just glue them on a painting

[@riahpaigee]

I love that idea! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@ChantelleArts]

with every video you make me question how on earth you find the patience and where can I get some 😂😂

[@riahpaigee]

Lmao 🤣 💖💖💖💖💖

[@AliG-do4jj]

I was thinking the same thing 😂❤

[@Llanellimagnetfishers]

I would have patience I love organising diamond

[@BP-ef8mr]

Okay. I understand your desire to quit. BUT IT WAS SO PRETTY AT THE END!! Oooh watching you scroll over all the colors and the gradient.

[@riahpaigee]

🤣 thank youuuu!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@missJazz911]

I do question your life choices but if this kind of thing brings you joy, who am I to judge?? I do love your nails, btw they are super cute!

[@riahpaigee]

LMAOOOO me to... me too 🤣💖💖💖💖 and thank youu 💅

[@Kaasiopaya]

I bought the same set and sorted them using the DCM table (DCM numbers are used for these diamonds). I also bought coloured DCM stickers so I don’t have to write the numbers by hand.

[@riahpaigee]

I definitely should have gotten stickers !💖💖💖💖

[@cherylclaviter6398]

I bought these same drills but in round and square, boy do I have my work cut out for me. The scanning of all the colors given the the boost I need. Thank you again💕💕

[@riahpaigee]

😱Omg you bought rounds and squares!? You are brave !! Good luck!!! 💖💖💖💖

[@Gracies_Diamonds]

That title SCARED ME RIAH!! This was honestly so satisfying, I loved how the pinks all looked. My favourite thing about diamond painting is definitely the sounds and the end product, especially the sense of accomplishment I feel afterwards! Least favourite is the static drills and the gapping I get with squares sometimes. It's honestly a love and hate relationship. I could never do what you've done here, so proud of youuu ❤❤🎉🎉

[@riahpaigee]

✨Gracie!! ✨Thank you so much !!! And I forgot a gapping!!! Ugh that drives me insane 💖💖💖

[@Gracies_Diamonds]

@riahpaigee I have a square diamond art club picture, 60cm by 85cm and its taken me two months to even finish half 😔😔 the squares don't play!!

[@jenniferklayer5259]

You're better off doing the plastic baggie inside of a photobox method. It's where you cut a few pieces of foam core small enough to make dividers , and then you can use index cards or cardstock to divided the columns by dmc number. I am in the process of doing this for my backstock of drills. No regrets so far

[@riahpaigee]

I just saw someone doing this !! I really wanna try it !!💖💖💖💖

[@AshlynnChristina]

I use a binder with those clear sheets that hold like baseball cards in them so they already have deviders and you just stick baggies into them.

[@laurelcrystal9929]

My favorite part is the kitting up, and the least is the kitting down. I can't stand it 😂😂. This was a chore and a half. You have great patience and determination. Even though they are beautiful, I would be avoiding that job like the plague 😅😂.

[@riahpaigee]

Lmaoo yesss!! I HATE kitting down ! I have half a mind to just pour it all on the floor 😂😅.

[@TheRealBambihooves]

I have just started my first diamond painting. It's so much fun, but it's hard to find extra time to work on it. You did a magnificent job on this! 🎉

[@riahpaigee]

I hope you can get some free time ! Thank you!!! 💖💖💖💖

[@caron_mushroom3046]

I also go diamond painting, and the thing I do with all my leftover or spilled drills is to put them in a glass jar like you did and then just wait until it fills up and it like a goal thing, it just shows how much work you have done 🎉

[@KikiAna_Xo]

11:32 MOOD So satisfying! I know you’re probably sleeping better knowing the drills are put away 😂 Please make drill organization videos in the future. 🎉🎉🎉

[@riahpaigee]

🤣 I definitely am sleeping better now! And will do ! Thanks for watching !!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖!!

[@shirleyraleigh4057]

I love kitting up , it is very relaxing . A stress reliever.

[@riahpaigee]

yessss! and I love the sounds ! So soothing ! 💖💖💖💖

[@Crafty-ishKristyn]

Putting those in color order is making my anxiety a little high 😂 I have my drills in DMC order for my spares. The Art Dots don’t have static because they are acrylic and it’s usually the resin drills that have static. Resins are usually more uniform in size. I have the Art Dots Squares and will only use them in a pinch, usually they are smaller than the drills in the kit I’m working on. The color order looks amazing when finished 🩷🩷

[@riahpaigee]

OMG thats so good to know !! I just subscribed to you !! 💖💖💖💖

[@marciasilverman6855]

I like when they come in individual bags instead of the long strips. I find the static drills the most frustrating part of kitting up The fact that you went through all of those and you're still okay, you get Kudo's!!

[@riahpaigee]

🤣 THANK YOU!! it was so hard 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@deannapro]

This is the first time I've watched your channel. What a satisfying end. Good job! Also, I enjoy kitting up. It's like getting ready for a main event. I do use the grid boxes. I like them (unpopular opinion?) but once in a while I will get a lid that doesn't close or open the easiest. 💎 Happy painting!

[@riahpaigee]

kitting up = pre game 😎 thanks for watching !!💖💖💖💖💖💖

🎉 Wow! They are so small you have to patience to do that craft! It’s too tedious for me! Given some paper, glue and stencils & I’m happy! 🤣🙋🏼‍♀️🇺🇸🙏🏼

[@craftsstuff1774]

My friend used to use her leftover diamonds in slime to create a nice texture.

[@mopsthetops]

You must have bought most of these, you never have that many of leftovers. I would LOVE TO HELP YOU. That work is therapy for me, I am in heaven.

[@riahpaigee]

I did! I shoulda called you because I was going through it 😭🤣💖💖💖💖

[@sunnymeowcat]

That's exciting

[@riahpaigee]

IT IS !! 💖💖💖💖

[@tetve]

I organice my extra drills by numbers. Organisation by colours looks so nice. With those fixed boxes you can't add any new different hue/tint, I have some colours like 6 or 7 different hues, I'm so tired to those and ordering again and again new tictac conteiners.

[@riahpaigee]

hahah I know what you mean ! I Definitely have my faves 😂💖💖💖💖

[@juliettebelgium]

Bouth them to round and square it took forever but so satisfied.saw the storage containers, I thought you would regret it later just like I had to learn when I bought them. I just keep my drills in little zip bags in dmc order all in boxes.

[@riahpaigee]

oh no..... im scared. i feel like im bound to drop at least one container at some point 😩😭

I love kitting up but I hate kitting down a diamond painting

[@riahpaigee]

EXACTLY!!!! we are the same 💖💖💖💖

[@DiamondsandDobermans]

🎉 Do you have a kit you’re going to use those on or did you buy them incase you run out of a color? I may have to buy the ABs. Those looked quite beautiful.

[@riahpaigee]

I got them for a project I’m going to start soon ! The ABs are my favorite!! thanks for watching!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@kendrajnoel]

The gradient is very pretty, but the organizer in me would have put them in numerical order by color. 😊

[@riahpaigee]

I debated it, but I'd probably mix em up anyway by accident 😆💖💖💖💖

[@KrstnaSchroeder]

youll hate having to go through the spilled ones when you run out of a color at the very end of a project! i ran out of drills on 3 out of 5 kits so i stopped diamond painting.

[@aysheahiguera8598]

Yes i have to do that as well

[@riahpaigee]

Good luck!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@acorn297]

I use little baking zip locks and label stickers for my leftover drills.. now idk about 500 different colors tho..

[@Aliya-vl5jt]

My favorite part about diamond painting is how satisfying it can be and my least favorite part is how you can’t do it in Ike the rain, I tried to once and the glue that was on the painting (that it comes with you cant see it) started peeling and I had to use super glue. 😂

[@riahpaigee]

🤣 omg did that work !?

[@Aliya-vl5jt]

@@riahpaigee kind of I took a break on it to work on a few other ones because that was like the 2nd diamond painting I had done and the 1st big one. I’ll update you on the next video or before then if it’s working

[@Calystilia]

I know it would not be fun to tape the lids, and it wouldnt look nice, but i think the cases popping open and spilling is worse. Just a thin little piece of clear tape on the top and side of each of the containers to hold them shut. Not all 500 at once, but when you open the boxes, just add tapes to the row of 4 you take out or just to ones that pop open accidentally, and then you will have outsmarted the cheap boxes! 😊

[@karinpost9176]

When you tipped the boxes at the end I was waiting for the lids to pop off and the diamonds to pour out! 😜

[@charlottesmom]

There are worse things to be addicted to….But yeah this looked like a chore! Edited to add, I’m assuming DMC code is like the DMC floss colors, same or close color has the same code?? Excellent video! 👍🏻😄🎉

[@riahpaigee]

yes ! I think you're exactly right ! 💖💖💖💖

[@dawsie]

It is based on the DMC embroidery floss cut to the fact it’s the best on the market, when diamond painting came out at the start they were done from picture to picture but no structure to the colour coding. I only started diamond painting 5 years ago when I found the square ones love them the best. One of the pictures I got they had sent the wrong batch of diamond plus it had 10 packets missing, thankfully I bought from a good dealer and they sent out the missing 10 packets as well as the correct colour coded ones. I bought foam trays with squares as I put all my drills into detached square containers hate dealing with the 4 in a row ones. Because they have now standardised the diamond dots/drills I can now add they to my boxed diamonds regardless of the painting I’m working on. But some Dimond paintings still don’t use DMC, they are the very cheap pictures. Only have a few of them and it was only because I liked the pictures. After I finish my Dimond painting I mixup a small amount of resin and coat the whole picture with a very, very thin coating of resin. 2 reasons for that. One, it makes them super shiny. Two, it stops them from popping off. Where I live it can get as hot as 61-62°c during the summer heatwaves in the Aussie Outback and for some reason the sticky coating on the painting gets super soft and the diamonds can just fall off if one so much as sneezes on it. The resin makes the picture easy to keep clean after that, if it gets dusty, it’s easy to wipe the picture with a damp cloth and it looks good as new again. I also glue the canvas to a sheet of 3mm MDF which keeps the picture nice and flat. I did manage to get my hands on some white dots that glow green in the dark, I just had to buy them so I could make my own Halloween picture one day.

[@KathrinHausermann]

I watched the whole season of the watcher and a bunch of podcasts 😅 it took so long!!! 😭 lol 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@imthehomelander99]

I don't really know how diamond painting works besides what I see in the kits... can you get just blank diamond paper with the sticky side on it? To like make your own painting. Or do they always have a design to follow? Because if you can buy blank paper then you could do some cool stuff with the overflow drills, or maybe you could even use random little drills in set designs as like reflections or light shatters or something.

[@riahpaigee]

yes! you can buy blanks i was just looking into it, honestly i dont understand it just yet but its something i wanna try ! 💖💖💖

[@BassingirlCrafts]

❤❤ Hi, I was watching your video and thought I could add some tips 😊 On the little plastic cases. There is a tab/lip on the lid. You can gently pull that towards the front so that it will latch better. Only problem that I see is that you wont be able to expand you drill storage when you need to kit down. I use the photo box bag method that Rebecca over at addmorezest created. With that system it's easy to expand. I'm up to 4 boxes for just my square drills. I store mine via the dmc number. I would have never been able to get this done as quickly as you did. I did one thing at a time. Great idea to keep them via color. ❤

[@riahpaigee]

thank you so much I appreciate the tips!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

As someone who been diamond painting for years I personally swear by these organizers but I usually fill them after I use most for a painting and they usually stay pretty well closed when they aren’t super full. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with them :(

my kitting up since im stuck on an aircraft carrier is in an old budget binder lol and mini plastic bags, since i dont have a lot of space lmao

[@Kat-vb6eu]

@@riahpaigee i love it, the zipper pouches hold my extra bags, my pens, trays. for my drills i use the small baggies, and sort them via color in the other pouches! my back pouch in the binder is my drill dump pouch where i take the leftover baggies and pop them in there! most of my diamond paintings are 20x25cm because i have to have limited space but i absolutely love my set up!

What did you buy diamonds for? Are you doing a cross stitch conversion? I've been doing this obsessively for 4+ years and never purchased diamonds. I don't even store all of my leftovers (just DAC and DD) and still have leftovers filling up two huge boxes.

Are the codes universal (i.e. are they applicable to most diamond painting projects)? There's so many codes and colors, it would stink if you bought a ton and they didn't work with the painting your doing (or one in the near future).
