- Hello friends!
Welcome to a review and how-to demo tutorial for Diamond Art Club's new refillable pen, which is included with their new basic toolkits. I've seen a lot diamond painters asking for tips on how to use these new pens and their features, and after having used these pens on a few of my diamond painting projects, I wanted to share some tips and tricks with you today.
Note: This is the first iteration of these pens - DAC has said that they're planning to roll out an updated putty formula, as well as metal single tips. Also, please be sure to send any feedback you might have on their products, so they're able to hear from a wide variety of crafters and take that feedback into account.

This is great. Currently doing my first project with this pen. Pros - great for this confetti heavy piece because I am doing more single placing than my usual style. I’m spending way less time tweaking putty. The pen is comfortable in my hand. Con - putty sticking to the canvas. Ugh. Con - Having to use tweezers or old style pen for tweaking position of drills. Pro - overall, speeds up single placing for me. Con - slows me down because I’m more of a multi placer. I haven’t had to refill the pen yet, so I found that part of your tutorial really helpful. When the time comes, I’ll know what I’m getting in to. Overall, I really like the concept, and it’s working better for me as I learn its quirks. The biggest issue is I’m swapping pens all the time when I need to fix something. Thanks for the tutorial.
Du könntest statt eines mehrfach setzter, einen Korrektur einzel setzter hinten auf setzen, dann musst du nicht den stift wechseln.
I love these new pens. It picks up ABs really well. They are much better than the old glitter straight line pens. Feels good in the hand. Thanks for the review.
I ordered my first 2 paintings with the new tools. Since I saw you showing it.
I love the concept.
Only I find the pen very slippery, especially summer ( sweaty hands) so I dropped the pen a few times, which meant that the diamond also fell everywhere.
Maybe a squishy or a bit other material is a few lines to hold the pen better.
I noticed the plastic bags are really hard to open, without scissors I could not open it.
Otherwise it’s great. I am in Germany and may not know exactly the correct word.
Also thank you for your code, that way I got a new mini dazzle and beautiful painting together, no postage charges.
❤thank you
Thank you. Glad they are making upgrades. Did see they have a new one with a metal tip that looks like their glitter pens so am excited for those
Thank you for this review! You are always so thorough with your reviews and they are very helpful!!
I love the sound it makes when it release the drill but there is no getting around the fact that you can more clearly see the drill for precision placing with the old basic wax pen.
Hey Katie nice demo on the new pen. I had very similar experience as you did. The past weekend has been a bit warmer and my hands were warm when testing and I just found the putty coming out was extra sticky and stringy. I rarely use the tools in the kits as I have my favorite pens and waxed. I’m glad to hear the heart wax may not be gone for good as that is my staple for my metal multiplacer but may give it more of a try for my single placing. Thanks for sharing.
I've been using pick me up pens for years and I have to say I LOVE this new pen. It's a lot better than the Silhouette pens because of the hole on the end for a multi placer. Also, I have no issues with the putty getting stuck on the canvas or drills. I found that less is better. I twist the bare minimum out. Anyway I absolutely love this pen and will be collecting so I can have different multi placers available on the ends and ready to swap out when needed.
You are always so helpful. I cant wait to try a new kit
It’s looks great, thanks for reviewing it 😊
Hey Katie! Loved the video!
Thank you for this demo and tutorial. Very helpfull
Hello Katie. Thanks so much for this video. I haven't used the new pen yet but I have been hoping to see a video from you showing how to reload the pen. So, thank you.
Perfect timing! I just tried the new pen yesterday for the first time, looking forward to your thoughts!
Great tips. Thank you!😊
Thank you for this video🥰🥰😊
Thanks for this tutorial Katie! Just received a new kit today, with the upgraden toolkit. I am willing to try this, though I am not a real putty fan.
So, this was very helpful to me! Love from the Netherlands, Willeke
perfect timing because I JUST unboxed my recent purchase which has the new pen 🥰
I’m looking forward to getting the kit with this in it
Super helpful! I am really wondering about using Pure Bliss putty in there. If you've tried another brand putty in it would love to hear how that turned out!
Great tutorial and demo ..tfs
Love the new pen. Works great with ab’s
Thanks for the demo Katie! Very thorough review! 💜🩷
thank you
I think the new pen is a great idea but DAC should maybe develop a stainless steel version of it (for sale) with interchangeable designs of the pens. They would no doubt last a lifetime and cut down on excess plastic waste of the plastic pens 😊
Hi Katie, I have ordered two new kits, so I will let you know how I like the pen. Which looks like an Epi pen to me.
Opening the new kit is exciting. I noticed they aren’t giving a coverminder or washi tape 🙂↔️
👍 danke für das zeigen, wie man den stift nach füllt.
Its really easy to remove the whole putty. You just need to twist the tweezers inside the tip and it will start to stick onto tweezers and you can remove all putty completely clean out of the tip. Do't need to soak or extra tools for it. I did the post about the exchange on the DAC Vip group and as mentioned there already, this pen with wax instead putty works just perfect for AB's :)
Would it be possible to make a video and post it in the group? Would love to see what you mean
@@celine_poike I did actually
@@belara2218 Oh no, I must have missed it :(
@@celine_poike just sort by new posts and scroll bit down, im sure you will find xD
DAC's new pens reminds me of ivy's dazzlers pen.
I wish DAC allowed a no kit option. I don't want to deal with this putty. I don't want to have to touch and mess with shoving the putty in. I hate the waste of just throwing new items away! This has actually had me canceling an order a few days ago.
you could always join a de-stash group and give away with the price of shipping, or bring to a local school or art center
Great minds think alike! I was wondering what would happen if I take the DAC putty put and put Randa's putty in it.
Would the multiplacer end of these pens fit the thin metal multiplacers DAC makes?
❤❤❤
Could you use the putty to load the multi placer as well?
I was wondering that too
Yes! That’s how I’ve used it.
Great idea but just not as fun as collecting some of the beautiful pens being made! I’m also a heavy presser so not sure these will work for me.
Hi Katie thanks for your review unfortunately I'm not a fan of this pen or their putty. I could not go back to a plastic pen/plastic tips. I think it's great they upgraded the pen though😊
I do think the putty is a little too sticky. Especially when I have to refresh it. I've lost some drills to it. It does last forever though, so I don't have the problem very much.
i keep having issues where the putty leaves super tiny spots on the drills and then its nearly impossible to get off. i wipe it or try to use wax or putty to lift it. it just smears/gets sticky and then dulls the shine. so im scared to use it lol and its why im here. but i see she didnt have any of that issue 😭😖
Could it be use for special drills like ABs???
yes
Hi all! Thanks to Katie, I bought some putty from Randa’s and I love it. My question is, I feel like it doesn’t grab as strong after a while in a session. How often do you have to change the putty to make it work? I did an hour of diamond painting the other day and I had to keep reshaping it in my multiplayer as it took the shape of the drills after a while. Is that normal? This is my first time with putty, curious how long it lasts with multiplacing and how often you need to switch it out. Thank you!
Yeah, I feel that. I love the putty but it does gunk up fast and (I think) dry out between sessions. I do think it’s okay for it to take the drill shape, I mean you’re poking the drills. I take my tweezers and pull the putty around in the multiplacer. I think I’ve completely removed it only like three times in the 5ish months I’ve had it. Still think I would’ve been able to get a little more stick out it by roughing it up, but sometimes I just want fresh putty😅
Is this pen in every set or only in de diamond dazzles?
I am currently using the pen and I like it. My minor irritation is with the stopper on the tray. You have to align it a certain way to fit. In a segment where you switch many colors, it is annoying.
is anyone having issues with putty sticking to the diamonds and it being hard to get off
Can you fill with a DIFFERENT putty?

Great review, but I have to say that it's great pen but the plastic tip will not hold up if u r heavy handed
I am finding the new pen is far too chunky for my liking, I like a very very thin nib, I hope they can make the pens thinner 😊
This. This is exactly why I gave away the only specialized pen I had. My hand cramps and I can’t see where I’m placing
