Tons of NEW! TEMU Diamond Painting Art Projects-Budget DIY-Accessories-TEMU Haul

[@Michelle-og9fl]

That mirror part was funny. I was watching myself on the struggle bus!

[@knits4sanity]

I am so glad I’m not alone! 🤣

[@PauletteMantell]

Loved your video. I use Temu alot and looked on the site and it had instructions for your garden sticks - after putting the wooden stick thru the hole in the suction cup. You put the glue circle on the inside of the suction cup and then stick the circle part of the cup to the butterfly. Then you can stick the wooden stick in the pot plants. Hope that makes sense (but picture instructions on site - wish they would send them out with product)

[@knits4sanity]

Yes! Thank you SO much! That does make sense. I appreciate you went through the trouble to look it up for me. 🥰

[@knits4sanity]

Again, thank you! I let everyone know how you helped me in my wip & chat today (still loading). 🙏

[@sarahkellett4926]

Oh my, the mirror 🤣 it's the kind of thing I do. You've got a new subscriber, you're awesome

[@knits4sanity]

Thanks for subbing! And I’m glad others can laugh with my ineptitude. 😂

[@craftaddictRoxanne]

Ohhh I love the roses on the special drills. I haven’t seen the note books before. Beautiful heart box. You have some awsome finds. New subbie here. Tfs hugs ❤️🧡💕💙

[@knits4sanity]

Welcome! I’m so glad someone else likes the rose special drills as much as me. ☺️

[@craftaddictRoxanne]

@@knits4sanity I sure do. Hugs 🩷❤️💙♥️

[@marcellareese8853]

I remember Caboodles. I am enjoying the smaller project kits right now and creating the diamond painting ornaments for our small year round tree for the different holidays. I made one for my mother in law, my daughter and for myself.

[@knits4sanity]

I would love to have a year-round tree! Very cool!

[@laurelmacarthur3416]

I agree with you about butterflies! My kids laugh at me, because I maintain that butterflies are just pretty bugs that can fly! Fun video. You've given me a list of new projects to look for on Temu! Thank you 😀

[@knits4sanity]

So true! “pretty bugs that can fly.” I love it! And thank you ☺️

[@kittyvanpeer9382]

Love your new stuff. The struggle with that mirror was real and oh so funny. Woman, you made my day 😂

[@knits4sanity]

Oh, good! 😂

[@sharonwildbore934]

Your laugh is so contagious, thanks for the video. Have a wonderful day 😊

[@knits4sanity]

Awww … Thank you. I have actually always been self conscious of my laugh, so your kind words mean a lot. ☺️

[@DP_BewitchedKat]

Lol so true they always seem to get lost for me to. I now just use a ruler it so far has behaved well lol. The box is very pretty. Don't worry were all abnormal in some way lol.

[@knits4sanity]

Yes, I suppose we are all a bit abnormal! 😂 I like straight rulers, but I don’t like storing them. Tape measures are easier to tuck away, but of course, THIS IS PRECISELY THE PROBLEM with them. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DP_BewitchedKat]

@@knits4sanity Exactly. I just leave the ruler on my desk. It kind of is always peeking in the shot but hey its easy to pick up and doesn't get lost. Under the keyboard also works nicely If you have the feet up or a full length mouse pad but other then that I agree the little round one is so much easier to pop in a drawer but then never seems to be in the drawer you popped it into luckily there cheap lol. That's part of why I never got a nice one its like it will just vanish anyway.

[@knits4sanity]

@@DP_BewitchedKat - That’s true. It could just be a permanent desk fixture!

[@montyhall6600]

I’m glad you are picky! Because of you, I know if I get that product for my daughter, I will wear a mask until I wipe it down. I have lung issues.

[@knits4sanity]

Everything may be just fine, but it’s definitely better to be safe!! And thank you. ☺️

[@stacymattern1158]

You had me rollin! 😂😂😂 Thank you for that! I’m halfway through a rough time with Covid and needed a good laugh. Can’t wait to see what you do next. ❤

[@knits4sanity]

I'm so glad it gave you a little respite from illness. I hope you feel better soon!

[@suebailey9517]

Very funny. New subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺. Looking forward to more.😊

[@knits4sanity]

Thanks! Sometimes it’s best to just have others laugh right along with you. Welcome aboard!

[@suebailey9517]

Yes it is..😊

[@montyhall6600]

You have the perfect sealer already!

[@DianeMerriam]

For the standups that are curved where they shouldn't be, I use a heat gun (like you would use for embossing powder) to soften up the acrylic and slowly warm them. Then you can gently bend in the opposite direction to flatten it out.

[@knits4sanity]

That is a great idea! This is why I love the diamond painting/crafting community- you all are so helpful!

[@ChristineBender-gd6yp]

I had no idea they made all these cool things!!!! New !

[@knits4sanity]

So many cool things!!

[@karengausman1459]

Hi Valerie, you showed alot of very interest things. I loved the owl magnets. They will be so cute. Hope all is well with you and your family. Catch you in the next one.

[@knits4sanity]

Thanks, Karen! We are well. Life just keeps us busy, but we are doing okay.

[@karengausman1459]

@@knits4sanity good to hear. Your kiddos keep you going and I know you wouldn't have it any other way.

[@knits4sanity]

@@karengausman1459 I wouldn't. I hope hubby is continuing to improve (and that your son is well too).

[@cynthiagant774]

Good stuff 💎💞

[@knits4sanity]

🤗 Thanks for the visit!

[@lauramature7388]

With the butterflies and owls, you can turn them into cover reminders

[@knits4sanity]

That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing!!

[@darcyfoster2976]

The circle of flowers could be attached to the front of a round mirror and carefully cut out the middle and outer edge. It would be really cute in a hallway of wherever you feel like putting .

[@knits4sanity]

That would be SO cute! I’m not sure if I have the patience to try cutting it out, but gosh, I want to now!

[@Angela-e5z7b]

Those beautiful books with the blank page. Love those. Need to order one of those for my drawings

[@knits4sanity]

Glad you like them! Yes, they would work for basic sketching!

[@Angela-e5z7b]

@@knits4sanity great thank you for responding. Love your channel

[@loveidbareminerals1]

This was the first time I really belly laughed in quite a while 😂😂😂😂😂 We all have those moments 😀

[@knits4sanity]

🤣😂👏

[@KatrinaVoshell]

I know several people who take their finished projects to craft shows and they usually do pretty well with selling them.

[@knits4sanity]

This is good to know. We don't have a lot of craft shows by us, but this is very good information for other obsessed diamond painters!

[@dianehinkley5565]

Love the mushroom house! Nice haul.

[@knits4sanity]

Thank you! 🤗

[@cuqui52]

I died with the mirror it was fun 😂😂

[@knits4sanity]

Oh … good. I’m glad. 😀 😂

[@christianeeichler6919]

Thanks for this video, even if I found it only today. LOL! I think you could use the display book for 20 x 20 canvasses, as the A4 Format is 21 cm wide. Hope this helps😃

[@knits4sanity]

Anytime is a good time to watch! I think you are probably right about the 20x20’s. I hadn’t even thought of that and have a few in an A3 binder. 🤦‍♀️ Thanks!

[@pattykirkland4804]

The mirror would definitely be me 😆

[@knits4sanity]

I’m glad I’m not the only one! 😂

[@violinzeta]

Place stickers on the suction cups before attaching the butterflies is my guess

[@knits4sanity]

A subscriber did help me out with this … I think you are correct, but I can’t recall now. I even did a video showing how to put them together. I’m pretty sure you are right!

[@KatrinaVoshell]

I know several people who take their finished projects to craft shows and they usually do pretty well with selling them…. lol, about the butterflies. You would hate living where I live, the walking path by my house goes through the woods and along a river. In the summer there are tons of butterflies. Do you know the scene in Encanto where all the butterflies are swarming around them? It’s really like that walking along that path. I love it though, I feel like princess when I go walking.

[@knits4sanity]

We actually have a lot of butterflies here too. We live in the woods with ponds. It's moths at night that REALLY freak me out! They are hairy and erratic and just . . . 😳 A few years ago, though, there was a HUGE spongy moth explosion here and our woods sound like the path you mentioned. It was CRAZY! You would have really felt like a princess then!

[@KatrinaVoshell]

I also use the minwax to seal

[@knits4sanity]

It's the best I have found thus far.

[@sueallen952]

The mirror 😂😅😂 thank you for the laugh

[@knits4sanity]

You are welcome! 😂😂

[@sueallen952]

Just found you and have subscribed, started diamond painting a month ago and my credit card keeps crying in my bag 😂 Liz is so lovely and uplifting to watch and cute Millie moo

[@knits4sanity]

Welcome! Yes, this hobby can play havoc on the finances if one isn’t careful. Oh, Millie Moo … She’s a sweetie!

[@JoyceTosh]

That is what I use the polycrilic

[@knits4sanity]

It’s my favorite!

[@kathyweber7002]

I was going through KZbin and I found your video. I really enjoyed it.

[@knits4sanity]

I'm so glad! Thanks for stopping by. ☺️

[@dariwhites]

Put cork on bottom after the resin

[@knits4sanity]

Very helpful. ☺️

[@sonyabunkum6212]

lol with the mirror I was yelling - “no, the other way!”

[@knits4sanity]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Tbear-29720]

The stickers are double sided you put on the back of the suction cup and in between the base

[@knits4sanity]

Thank you!!

[@marcellareese8853]

You could store your off canvas acrylic diamond painting when not displaying? May not work though.

[@knits4sanity]

I like this idea! I need to see if the pages are thick enough to hold the various wood/acrylic pieces. (And if they fit.) But this is a great idea I had not thought of. Thanks!

[@ldyvic]

They still make name brand Caboodles. I saw a Name BRAND Lisa Frank one last year.

[@knits4sanity]

Woah! I may need to look into this! 😃

[@samSwift-gv1rl]

Hi, iv just come across your channel and this is the first video iv watched and I think you R so funny and you have made me laugh 😂, I will definitely be watching more 😁👍

[@knits4sanity]

Welcome aboard! And thank you! ☺️

[@darcyfoster2976]

Do you have elementary school kids ? You could give them to a teacher to gift to students . Girls love notebooks for writing in .

[@knits4sanity]

I have one kid still in elementary school- a second grade son. I pass along the green drill trays to his art teacher. But your comment did make me think that my youngest daughter (7th grade) has a couple of friends that may really like a sparkly notebook as a gift!

[@cindyboyette9782]

OMG I just found you and you are awesome 🤩

[@knits4sanity]

Awww … Thank you! ☺️

[@charlenejo2490]

Those butterfly stakes: I have seen someone put them outside in potted plants. The person bought a kit from Amazon though

[@knits4sanity]

I think that’s what my mom did with hers! I did manage to put them together and I gave them to her shortly before Easter.

[@debbietroyer9480]

Did you want the book to use for some sort of log book?

[@knits4sanity]

Ooo … That’s a great idea!

[@estoutish]

I am laughing so hard with you!

[@knits4sanity]

Oh, thank you!! 🤣

[@wendyquiet72]

Do you seal the books?

[@knits4sanity]

Yes, I do!

[@wendyquiet72]

Oh, ok. Do you use the normal way you seal your canvases? Or do you use a different glue? I have some big jeweled paintings and just was wondering if I should seal them.

[@knits4sanity]

@ - Just normal! I like using clear polycrylic minwax.

[@knits4sanity]

@ -I just use my normal sealer. I have a link to my favorite, high quality sealer (what I like to use for things like what you are describing) in my most recent videos.

[@wendyquiet72]

@@knits4sanity Thank so much for your help!

[@Naparuski1]

I would be careful with which sealer you use since did would be on trays

[@knits4sanity]

Excellent point!

[@Juststatingafact]

Why do people blame temu for the packaging? It's not the carriers then that chuck them about? Have a word with the couriers!

[@knits4sanity]

I think it’s the warehouse where these particular boxed items are stored. It’s not everything. But who really knows. You are right, couriers definitely play a part too.

[@sueallen952]

Juststatingafact but if temu sent them out decently packed there wouldn't be so much damage, you can't chuck a load of stuff in a thin plastic bag and expect no damage, I love temu but their packaging is terrible

[@lilly3am]

Exactly!
