    This is a great. I was going to suggest coloring it first but you beat me to it. You could even print simple pictures with a graph photoshop overlay to customize this idea even farther. I am so glad you mentioned that tidbit about the tombow. I was going to purchase some to seal my first diamond art club painting. It's a holiday one so I want it to have many years of use. Thank you so much for these videos.

    Wow Grace you’ve been busy!! What great ideas for all different kinds of coloring! What are the sticky sheets called? I have some coloring books that would be cool to change into diamond paintings also. They don’t have to be the mystery ones all the time do they? Glad your doing good! Thanks for sharing!!

      @gbmaltese  Před 4 lety

      Hi Terry!! You can use any type of coloring book you like!! The sheets are double-sided adhesive - I have links to them in my Amazon store in the description under the video. These are fun to do!!

    Hope I can buy this in Hobbycraft UK as I made a a Christmas picture years ago with tracing from a poinsettia table cloth on to a large canvas that I then coloured in with felt tip pens I'd love to turn it in to a diamond painting

    Great idea! Just a thought, since the grid is just a little too big, if you have a home printer/copy machine you could copy the picture at a slightly reduced size.

    • @gbmaltese
      @gbmaltese  Před 4 lety

      You certainly could!! For rounds, this size is pretty good, not sure if I would want them any smaller, but for squares, that would be fantastic! 😊

    Thank you so much for all the information and teaching in this video. What an awesome idea! I had a lot of extra round drills and rhinestones so I used both. I was wondering if Staicer products was still in business, because I couldn't find any way to shop or order from Stephanie. Thank you again. I loved your video and I subscribed.

      @@gbmaltese thank you for replying to me and for the link. I also have been researching on line and I found a company called Diamond Paint with Sparklers. I have an order on the way from them. They have just about every kind of drill you can think of! They also sell enhancement kits that correspond to mainly DAC and Dreamer Design kits you buy separately. Also I wanted to post the picture I made with a page out of the animal mosaic book. I bought 2 of the books you suggested and the "canvas" double sided tape sheets. It came out pretty good and I had fun doing it. I couldn't figure out how to post the pic on here 🤷‍♀️

    Awesome. You can also buy the opaque covers with the sticky on it in rolls. Stitcherista has videos on that. It would be perfect for this. Thank you for the ideas Grace. Really cool. Very good idea.

    I use Small sheets of parchment paper on my diamond art and do small areas at a time. I remove the cover and replace it with the parchment paper. The paper comes off very easy.

      I enjoy using silicone release papers, as I like to do large areas at a time. We each have our favorite way of working on these 😊

    Hi, I was watching your second video on making your own diamond painting, but now I can’t find it again. Can you put it on this video so I can find it again! I am so excited... I ordered all supplies to get started but I don’t have the drills! I think I might get diamond dots! They have launch a new freestyle program. I love your videos......and listening to you!💙💚🧡💜❤️👳‍♀️

    you can buy the adhesive from Amazon. The adhesive is Diamond painting double side tape. You can also get the drills from Amazon. If you have Jo-ann store in your area they sale Diamond Dotz drills. I do alot of freestyle of diamond painting. Thank you for the video is a great idea.

    • @gbmaltese
      @gbmaltese  Před 3 lety

      Yes, I have a link to the adhesive in my Amazon affiliate store. I actually put the link to where I purchased Diamond Dotz in this video: czcams.com/video/51FWGDnKI0w/video.html
      I also put the numbers of the DD colors I used for these books too.
      I love using the Diamond Dots on these. I also bling them out with Sparklers and other Crystals! They are so fun to make!! You are very welcome!!

    What's the best software to use for custom diamond painting. I used art stitch easy and I previewed the painting before printing, and after completing the picture, one of the faces looks too clumped up with the same colour. I was sent a screen grab of a picture. Any ideas as I wanted the faces to have better detail.

      @gbmaltese  Před 3 lety

      I haven't tried any types of software.

  • @ImRuthann
    @ImRuthann Před 2 lety

    I'd be afraid of doing my own bcuz how do you determine how much of each drill you will need before you start? I can just see myself attempting to do my own painting, only to find I ran out of drills for whichever color when I thought I had enough leftover which is why I don't rely on my leftovers. Is there a specific thing that you do to assure that you have enough?

    • @gbmaltese
      @gbmaltese  Před 2 lety

      I just ordered 10 or 12 bags of each color. I didn't do anything specific to figure it out.
