I LOVE Diamond Painting! I became addicted about 10 years ago. It is what got me through the lockdown of 2020. I would DP for about 18 hours a day for months on end. I would listen to audio books and get lost in pure bliss! I ended up finding a small sturdy desk on the side of the road. I purchased a large table top easel that took up the entire surface. I have an X-large light pad that is the same size as the desk. I cut a pool noodle to the length of the easel and cut a slit the entire length. I hugged the noodle to the top of the easel. My XL DPs drape over the top of the easel. The noodle keeps the canvas from creasing. Working on the angle did take a bit to get used to but it has saves my back!!!! Ohhh, I found a small non-stick silicone baking mat. It is apparently the size of a 8.5x11 sheet of paper. I use it to lay on my exposed sticky canvas and rest my hand/arm on it. Since it is a non-stick mat is come right off the canvas. This was a game changer for me!!!!
I’m working on a diamond dotz picture. I did not know how to use the wider end of the tool, so thanks for explaining that. Good idea about the dryer sheet. 😊
I love my diamond art it's perfect thing to do for mindfulness exercises. I had to have a break from it so I tried latch hook now I'm hooked to that for the same reasons. We all need 'me time' to get a better head space ❤ xxxx
I like doing diamond painting too, I too was a bit grumpy yesterday. I just haven't been in the mood lately to do mine still working on the whale one. yes youtube has there own music selection some of it isn't bad to add to your videos. I tried to see if i can do it on my phone to manage and edit a video, but it wouldn't bring up the button, so if you have a computer, upload your video first from your phone, go onto your computer, then click on your profile, under profile, go to your video channel, then click on the video u want to add the music to, then after that, look for the button that says, edit video, then after that, look on the left side, and look for the editor part, click on that, you can trim and cut your videos there, and blur them, and after u do that, if u wanted to, go to audio and they have a whole a bunch. but remember to turn down the music, it can be pretty loud, u can click on the adjust bars when u selected a audio. you can search, for calm, guitar and other stuff that you like, or search for the length and time too. just hit add. make sure it's the right spot of the video when u play through. I hope this helped out a little bit :) I to have some crafting videos up, nothing fancy I love adding music and effects, the effects i did is through capcut :) i use the revl 6 phone android. capcut now has a program for the computer too, but it's easier on the phone. they have a bunch of free things u can use. I watched a few videos on youtube how to use the programs on youtube and on capcut :) good luck.. cant wait for more videos :)

When I first started I got 2 paintings 50x50 and didn't get enough drills to finish so they have set forever
I've done a couple of small diamond painting bookmarks. It was enjoyable enough but not really my favorite. Yours is really pretty though.
I agree with you. I suffer chronic pain and it really gets me through a lot of days
I haven't tried to do diamond painting
@@janicehoughtelling5137 I would say it’s a bit on the advanced crafting category 😅
