- Hello friends!
Welcome to the much-requested Part Two to my "Multiplacing for Perfectionists" tutorial. Today, we're talking about using a multiplacer with square drills, specifically. These can be a little trickier than round drills, but I think I have some tips and tricks to make it easier. It’s totally possible to multiplace efficiently AND accurately, if you're up for powering through that learning curve!

I’ve been DP for 3 months but will always live by your tips
I’m still in awe of your multiplacing perfection.
I still credit you for nudging me to try multiplacing again! Thanks friend!
OMG, that is the DP that I am working on and exactly why I am watching this! First time I’ve gotten brave enough to want to try multi placing!
I just watched the round drill multi placing and now this one. You have such great tips and techniques. I will be giving it a go and remembering that I need to practice!! Thank you💕💕
I use a steel ruler to guard the edge and start from there, place REALLY lightly, which makes it much easier to straighten after. My biggest multiplacer is 15 and the trick still works 😆 always have to resist nudging the drills with the tips too before I use straightener, because the tips push them down more than it can push them to the side, and I think it just pushes the glue underneath to be thinner and cure too much, such that by the time I get to use straightener, it’s really hard to push them into place or to stay straight.
New subscriber here .. TOTALLY agree with Lakhana's comment .. you have a very soothing voice to listen to. Haven't started to multiplace yet .. I enjoy single placing. But I'm also still a relative newbie .. only about 4 months .. but LOVING this new to me craft. Thanx. :)
Aww, thank you so much, Carol! And welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. It took me awhile to try multiplacing too, since I do enjoy single placing! But hopefully this is helpful if you decide to give it a try ☺️
Hello. I am new to this hobby but addicted now. Love your tips. Sue
Hi!! Katie, I love your videos. They are so helpful and very informative. Thank you so much, I really enjoy listening to you. Keep up the awesome job. God Bless 😊🙏🏻
Great video! Katie I notice you always work flat on the table, but I work on a standing slant board. I have worked for years on diamond painting but never worked with square drills. I am starting a Hawaiian Girl and her Dog. I thought for a first square experience, a DIY project would be great! I thought you use Notmy mother’s mud or we wax. I use them too! I also use glue dots! I will just try all of them again. I used your white tacky museum goop but I felt it did leave a residue! I love your channel and I love hearing stories about your family! Thanks, wish me luck! Ricki💎💙
You have a really nice soothing voice. I haven’t done my square yet but I can’t wait to work on them
Aww, thank you, Lakhana! Squares can be a little tricky to get the hang of, but they have a really lovely finished effect.
I really like your technique for multiplacing..picking drills up on an angle was really helpful to me Thank you..
I'm so glad it was helpful for you! I hope multiplacing is a little easier for you now :)
I wish I could get the hang of this. I single place every drill with tweezers because I need it to be perfect.
Thanks so much for your wonderful clear easy to follow tips. I'm working on a large size photo for a friend, it's been challenging but fun. I purchased the putty and the multiplacer from Amazon. Thanks again!
Great video. I am still new and haven't ventured out into the world of multiplacing yet. I'm still trying to find what works best for me especially in terms of sectioning my canvas.
I love your channel!!!
I’ve found I get straighter more lined up square drills than when I single place. I don’t checkerboard when I single place though because I go by color. I need to try it with sectioning though.
Nice video and great information. For some reason when I plant a row of square drills, they all rotate a bit which drives me a bit nuts. Not sure if I am pressing too hard or rotating it as I try to pull it off. I've been trying to do it straight down though so hopefully your technique for planting the first drill then rocking down the rest will solve this issue for me. Multi-placing is so satisfying when it works. :)
This is an awesome tutorial!
🤗Thank You enjoy ur chat bout placers my 1st time yes will try your way others same to yes working with Black Thanks again
Thank you for the much needed help
❤ your soothing voice and helpful tutorials. Working on squares has been extremely frustrating for me when multiplacing because when push drills over they get off from the row so I cannot keep track of pattern and forget where I am. Like it’s a full row off by time get to row 45-50. Gets confusing. I work right to left in vertical rows. What am I doing wrong?
I don’t enjoy single placing, but I guess I’m gonna have to try. to avoid the extreme frustration anger that occurs when multiplacing squares and pattern gets so wonky. I’ve had to stop 3 paintings now due to issue and restarting. 😢
Omg love your pens!
this was a very helpful video Katie thanks so much. I will be starting on soulmates from DAC next week I will try this out
Yes please do a video on multi placement of square drills
THANKS
Yay I was looking forward to watching a video from you today and now I can!!!! 💕
That's so sweet of you! Thank you for being here, and for watching!
@@DiamondsandWashi ofc anything to see your videos I love your videos and you LOL but I hope you have a good day or a peaceful night!💜
Thank you 😊
Thank you for this!!
You're more than welcome! I'm glad it's helpful!
Thank you for the video. Good to see how others multiplace squares. I go from right to left, but do use a curved multiplacer at the moment. But, still practicing a lot as my current canvas is perfect for it.
Thank you for watching, Berlien! How do you like the curved multiplacer? I have one but I've only used it a couple of times, with mixed luck.
@@DiamondsandWashi I do like the curved ones. For me, they work better. I did try out a few, a 3, a 5, an 8 and a 10 placer. I do prefer the 8 and 10. With the straight ones I always grab the 4 placer for some reason.
Wow!!!!
What do you use in your single placer, especially when you’re straightening out any drills they are out of alignment a little? Also, if you have one square left after multiplacing, do you still use the multiplacer to place that one drill or do you flip over to the other end to place that single drill? Thanks for all your help! And how to you remove the putty and then put more in?
I’m going to try the horizontal way you lay the drills down. I’ve been doing it vertically. But I did notice near the end of the video where there was a black area that went mostly up and down. Do you then multiplace vertically? Do you have a tutorial on that too?
Great video 👍🏼
Which specific multi placers do you recommend and from which seller? 😊
Thank you so much!!
You're more than welcome! I hope you found it helpful!
@@DiamondsandWashi very much so
Question, is there a way to get the static little dots out of the bag and have them not go everywhere? I open the bag and they are so full of static that they go all over the place stick to my hand you go to move the tray and they just jump out at you any tips or help that I can get to do something so that it won't do that I would appriciate it greatly
Hi! I'd recommend cutting up a dryer sheet into small squares, and tuck them into the bags and shake them a bit. That should help!
Have you tried the curved multiplacers? I’m thinking of buying some to try.
I have, but to be completely honest, they don't work well for me and my personal style of multiplacing. They're tricky to only pick up 1-2 drills with, for example, and also really difficult to pick up at an angle like I do. BUT, I know a lot of people enjoy using them and I think they're worth trying to see if they work for you.
Is square drills more harder then round drills ive ordered a custom made painting and didn't know it had square drills
Hi there! There can be a little bit of a learning curve with square drills but you'll get the hang of it with a little time ☺️
🌹🌹❤️❤️
Could you please tell us what was the drill container you were using? Thank you
Hi Dana! Sure, this was the Beadsmith Bead Organizer, which I got from Amazon. I’m actually planning to do a comparison video with this organization system and two others, in the next couple of weeks, if you’re curious to see more details and my thoughts!
@@DiamondsandWashi, yes ma’am, please. I just found your CZcams. I have watch a couple videos . I love the one big one that you were kitting up.
Do you have a tutorial on using everlasting tips????
Unfortunately, I don't, at the moment. I know that other diamond painting creators have, if you wanted to try searching for one? Otherwise, I'm totally happy to answer any specific questions you have about using them! I know there's a bit of a learning curve.
Great video Katie! I am not a fan of multiplacing square drills, since I am always going back and trying to fix them. Have you tried a curved multiplacer? I purchased one recently and I am struggling with getting it to work correctly. I normally use the thin placers from Staroar, and really like them. Thank you for the helpful tips! xoxo 💜
Thank you, Laura! Squares are tricky for me to multiplace, too. I’ve tried a curved multiplacer just a couple of times and had a pretty tough time with it, so I gave up. I’ll have to give them a try again soon because a few people asked about them. But yes! The thin ones from Staroar are just so easy and reliable, I always go back to them too.
Thanks for watching! 💛
@@DiamondsandWashi do you need a specific pen to use with the Staroar multiplacer? I am loving your videos.
I love multi-placing squares but my perfectionism is stressing out in this video b/c the drills don't fit inside the symbol lines and it's freaking me out LOL
Oh nooo, I'm sorry Renee! I'm sure I wasn't totally perfect with placing, and then DAC's square drills were just a tiny bit on the small side so it was tricky to get them to line up neatly across the board. But hopefully it still gives some helpful tips! 😅
@@DiamondsandWashi Omg no don't be sorry at all! The lines just looked odd and it looked like the diamonds were somehow too big for the spaces haha but I really think it was just the camera angle that made it look so off!
I can’t multiplace squares cause of perfectionism. Just started with rounds and I’m constantly fixing them 😂 It still goes a lot faster though
I totally hear you! I still have to fix mine a lot, haha. But it definitely gets easier - keep at it! :)

Use “quality square drills.” Boy is that the truth. I’m doing a DP right now (my first square drills) and the drills leave “ a lot” to be desired. Was going to be a gift, but most likely not now, especially , the giftee works solely on DAC.
Oh snap, you're using putty to hold the diamonds. Wax is too thin?
You know what I has go hobbylobby get more color for diamond painting refill with color but want enough in there so order more diamond painting color finely in the moring go hobby lobby get that more live it became ful back get tried or have break time
Use dp that is pink box lol
