you are the person responsible for introducing me to diamond painting! you, you, YOU!! thank you for causing my visa card to scream in pain from the abuse of charges! LOL
LOL!!! This is hilarious, but I'm sorry that your card is screaming in pain - it will shut up after awhile :-D Have fun - it will calm you down when you start placing all those beautiful diamonds!!
I have just started diamond painting a week ago. I have learned so much from your video that will make my new hobby so much more enjoyable. Thanks for your tips :-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of diamond painting!! I'm so glad I was able to help you out a bit!! If you have any questions, please let me know - I will be more than happy to help you out 😊
Thank you Connie!! I'm excited with my dog one, as it is so much like my Yorkiepoo:) One day, I want to get a custom one done, just trying to decide on which photo to use is so hard!!
Thank you for all of the tips and hints! They were wonderful! I like that you showed the various things that you tried for storage so that we know there are options. I enjoyed your video very much!
Love your T-Shirt! Thanks for the tips! I haven’t tried the diamond painting yet. Oh I love the framed blue bird! Great tips! The symbols remind me of latch-hook patterns. Looking forward to trying this type of project. Love the light board! How smart! Thank you again for supporting our campaign for our mother. We are so so in awe of your generosity! She loves to craft too and when she is recovered enough to craft again I think that this type of project will be fun for her to work on too. 💋
Hi Frances!!! Thank you, I actually made that T-shirt. I used to make these shirts many years ago, using Swarovski Crystals and shiny metal pieces. I always told my ESL kids that I was the Reina, as a joke, so had to make this shirt - lol!! I think your mom would enjoy this also - it is very relaxing and a good way to get your mind on other things. I have sent a couple of items to her from Amazon - some slippers and one of the house dresses you had on the registry. All of you are in my prayers xoxox Grace
Thank you Norma!!! Your kind words are so appreciated :) I can't wait to see my dog boss finished either - it looks so much like my pup - his name is Bogey. Thank you so much for watching :) xx Grace
Thank you so much for this video. I received my kit but am currently working on two crochet projects, so it has to wait. Your tips we awesome and exactly what I needed. I would love another video on it thanks again! PS the yarn tree painting is my favorite I hop I can find to make for my craft room wall.😊
I am so glad this video helped you out, and I will make some more!! My problem is like yours, working between crocheting and diamond painting - but I love it!! I looked for the picture you were talking about, and I don't see it anymore at the place I bought it on AliExpress, but you might find it somewhere else. There are so many to look at, and I bet you'll find one that you really like for your craft room!!
You are very welcome!! I love doing these! I crochet sometimes, and I diamond paint others. It is quite addicting to do these, and they are so pretty when finished.
Thank you Esme!! I enjoy doing these when I'm not crocheting - you know us crafters have to do something all the time :) Take care my sweet friend!! xoxox Grace
Looks like lots of fun and your finished product is beautiful, I think I would really enjoy doing this. Thanks for the informative video 😁 yes I want to see more please
I really enjoy doing this. It is very relaxing, and let's me make something pretty. I will make more videos :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! -Grace
Hi, welcome to the World of Diamond Painting. I’m also kind of a. Shimmer but I just want to offer a tip that you can share. In the zip lock bags that you are using you will note that some of the drills cling to upper part of the envelope. I learned through seasoned diamond painters that if you cut a little piece of a dryer sheet and put it in the bag it will alleviate the static cling. Also you can take an entire sheet and pour each color on it and rub it together and then pour into bag. You will see they do not cling anymore. If they do just repeat the process. Believe me you are going to be hooked. It’s very relaxing and calming. Good luck to all and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
I am so glad that you reminded me about the dryer sheet!!! I need someone to sit next to me and tell me everything that I have forgotten to say - LOL!!! I have little pieces of dryer sheets in some of my containers, but not all - just depends on if they have much static! I will try and remember to mention that on my next video. I have already done another one on framing, but I will get it in on the next one!! Maybe you can help be my adviser - i need all the help I can get!!! I love doing these, they relax and calm me!! I have several already waiting to be done, and have ordered more - it's an addiction!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your tip - you are awesome!!! xxx Grace
Hi Grace, The blue bird in the black frame ,did you treat the diamond painting before you placed it in the frame? would you be able to do a video on framing ? Have a great Great day🤗🙂
You are fantastic ! Amazing, now I know I want to try this. Those tips are the best, and when I, start I plan to implement them all. Please continue to teach us about this beautiful craft, ( more like art to me ) . Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comments - you are so sweet!! I plan on showing more things about diamond painting - it is such a fun, relaxing hobby, and I hope that you enjoy it too!! I think it's more like art too - it is so beautiful! -Grace
Waiting for 3 kits to arrive, and I'm very excited to get started. Thank you for demonstrating; I may have to come back from time to time if I need help, but you make it look very easy and enjoyable.
How exciting!!! Once you get started, you will see that it is very easy and quite relaxing!! Just ask if you have any questions, and I will do my best to help you!! Have fun :-)
Thank you very much for all the tips. I bought 3months ago a unicorn diamond painting and haven’t started yet. Lol. Hopefully this week I can start working on it. Thanks again.
Thank you Lorinda!!! I will certainly make more, plus some crochet ones too :) We crafters like to do all kinds of things, I guess!! Thank you so much for watching!! -Grace
Wow! Thanks for that amazing diamond art. I'm want to try it. One day. Thanks for sharing. I for one would love to see more of it. HAGD. God bless you.
Hi Margaret!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really enjoy doing the diamond art, and at first I was a little nervous about doing it, but now I love it!! God bless you my dear!! -Grace
Hi Grace. I just love how organized you are with your crafts. It may be a little more work at first, but then it must be so much easier down the road. This video is invaluable, my dear. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your way. OMGosh, my husband LOVES Harbor Freight.
Hi Cindy!! Oh yes, my husband and my brother both love to go to Harbor Freight - there is one about an hour away from our town. I think because I taught so long, I learned to be more organized, and it really does help in the long run. Makes crafting more enjoyable to have it all ready to go!! I'm so glad you liked the video, and I have several wanting to see more on this craft, so I will do this and crochet :) Who said we can only do one craft - lol!!! -Grace
Thank you Kathy!!! I will show more videos and try to give more information as I keep learning more :) I appreciate you watching and commenting!! -Grace
You are very welcome!!! I enjoy doing these - they are fun and relaxing. I will post some more videos on both crochet and diamond painting, hope you will watch :) -Grace
Hello Grace. 🌻 Oh my, the bird in the peach tree (I think they are peaches) is lovely! The diamond painting with your dog in the uniform is a hoot, lol. Yorkies are wonderful, and they really do think they are the boss. I just love that you explain all of this so well, and you are so organized. I would love to see another video on diamond painting. All of your paintings are gorgeous. Thank you so much for this video. Have a wonderful weekend and a Happy 4th! 💕
Yes, they are peaches!! When I saw that picture of the dog, it looks just like my little general, I had to have it! I am over halfway done with it, and will be showing it again soon. I so appreciate your kind comments - sometimes, I'm not really sure what I have and haven't said, and just hope I make sense!! Hope your weekend is great and that you have a wonderful 4th of July!! xoxo Grace
Thank you so much Grace for showing how to do your diamond painting: The ones you made are beautiful: it is so sweet of you to take the time to introduce your new hobby: I look forward to seeing the one with the yarn tree; Not sure my eyes could handle this : I still love needlepointing; but my eyes don’t; You’re so kind to share your craft ; thank you again and have a great night; 🤗💕😻🐶 your friend; Caren 💗
Thank you so much Caren!! We crafters are always dabbling into different things aren't we? I love that one with the yarn tree - we can always dream - lol!! I bought the light board so that I could see the symbols, and it really helped a lot!! I love sharing my crafts, and I'm just happy that there are people who are interested in them, and I hope I can be of some help :) Thank you for always commenting and supporting me - you are a true friend!! Love, your friend, Grace xoxo PS - I will have to look for a cat one just for you :)
I order one with seashells I can’t wait to get it. I live close to the beach in Florida and I love seashells. I would love to see all your diamond paintings
I bet that is going to be beautiful!!! I've shown all the ones I have finished, but I have several more waiting to be done! I do crochet and diamond painting, so I work on one project and then the other :) I've just ordered a custom one today to do for my daughter for Christmas. She sent me one of her favorite pictures of her dogs that I am going to do. I'm excited to see what it is going to look like. -Grace
I'm really glad you like it!!! I'm going to look for something that would be an easy starter piece for those who are interested in my diamond painting videos, for a giveaway :) -Grace
Wow...... very helpfull informations👍👍got me the same containers and use the same storage system. It works perfect for me as a newbee. Thank you and many greetings from a very cold and snowy Germany⛄❄
Thank you for the video on diamond painting. Very interesting. I didn't know there was such a thing. I am still running around like a nut so I can't take on anything else. I may try it when things slow down. The light board is an excellent tool. It is great you are using for the painting. Take care.
I found out about diamond painting about a year ago, and I love it!! I still crochet, but I like to switch about doing crafts - as I know you understand :) I hope things settle down for your real soon, so you can get back to your crafting!! I love the light board - it is a game changer!! Hope you are doing well!! -Grace
Hi Grace, this is the first time seeing diamond painting.it looks interesting, and relaxing.that was a good idea to get small zip lock bags for the diamonds.
HI!!! I learned about diamond painting about a year ago - and I love it! It's very relaxing, fun and you have something beautiful when you are finished!! The small zip lock bags certainly make things easier!! I have learned a lot as I go along with this hobby. Thanks so much for watching!! -Grace
I know what you mean Summer!!! We crafters have to dabble in all sorts of things!! I really enjoy doing this, and I have a lovely picture to hang up too!! I'm going to do a custom one for my daughter. She is choosing a picture of her dogs for me to do! -Grace
Thank you for watching :) I did quite a bit of research before I started my first one. It's a bit confusing, so it helps to watch others do them. -Grace
Thanks, Grace. I don't feel so intimidated now. I'm going to get it a try now! I've had my kits for awhile, but just wasn't sure how to begin. I have MS so my hands are really shaky, but hopefully I can rest my arm on the table so I'm not too shaky. We'll see...
Hi Amy!! I'm so glad you feel less intimidated, and I'm sure by resting your hand on the table, you will do fine. I wish you lots of luck!!! Let me know how you do!! I'll be making videos on diamond painting and crochet - I have lots of people interested in both :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! -Grace
I love that you shared great tips. I am getting my first one on Thursday (the owl with blue coloring) and I think I am gonna do the baggie method as then it takes up less space and is reusable better than little containers because buying 100 little baggies is far cheaper then a bunch of jars thanks again!
Michele Attardi Yay for getting your first one - I love that blue owl, and think I just might need that one😄 The baggies are really easy to do and are much cheaper for sure!! Have fun💗
thinking of getting a tote to keep all the gallon bags with each project in it so they all stay together and only fit into one tote I can keep under the bed!
Thank you for sharing. I don't think I have ever seen anything like that. I think they are beautiful. You look like you have lots of patience n very organized. Idk if I could do it. Looks complicated. But I would try a small one, even though yiy mention there is no real detail. Thank you very much. Btw I think that the 5d paintings in your giveaways. Hugs from tx.
Hi Adele!! Yes, the smaller ones don't have as much detail, but when you first start out doing this, I would choose a small one, so you can learn how to do it, and see if you like it. It really isn't complicated, and I will do some more videos, and take it a bit slower on how to get organized. I think I would do a diamond painting giveaway on one of my diamond painting videos, because those are the ones who would be most interested!! Keep watching :) -Grace
Thank you so much!!! I hope you give it a try, and after a few more videos on diamond painting, to see how many will watch, I will do a giveaway!! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much. I'm planning on doing one soon on framing one very inexpensively. If you have any tips to share that would be great. This is such an addicting hobby :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! -Grace
Interesting, looks beautiful, for sure an increase in reading glasses from 250 to much higher 🤣🤣🤣 that light would be an eye saver thanks for sharing I would enjoy seeing your finished projects for sure.😀
Hi hermanita!!! Yes, the light has really helped A LOT!!! I don't know how I was doing them before I got it. I like to do this when I'm not crocheting - gives me a change of pace. The one I'm doing right now is pretty big - I call it Bogey Bonaparte, because it looks like my little Bogey wearing a general uniform - lol!!! Hope you are doing well!! xoxo Grace
I think you are talking about the light board..... I put that light under my diamond painting, so that I can see the symbols better. I did show that in the video - I hope I understood your questions correctly
Thank you!!! I'm anxious to get this dog one done - it looks so much like my pup, Bogey :) I will definitely make more videos of this, as I have several interested!! -Grace
I use those same containers from Harbor Freight for my seed bead collection (I also make jewelry). If you take those little boxes and put them on their sides, you can 4 rows of 6 containers (6 from back to front).. use the little pieces of foam inside on either end so they don't slosh around. But all 24 boxes will fit on their sides and you can see into each one.
Yes, you can buy blank canvases and the "diamonds" separately. I have not done this, but I know others that have. Look on AliExpress for diamond painting blank canvases, or something like that. They call the diamonds - drills. They might have them on Etsy too. You are very welcome!! Good luck!!
Great video. Just wondering if your still using the sticky floral clay? Thinking about trying it. I really like the wax but always would like to try something new.
Hi Diane!! I am not using the sticky floral clay or any other tacky stuff at the time. I have gone back to using the wax - it seems to leave less of a messy residue on the drills. It's fun to try new things, and everybody has their favorite, but I have just been using the wax. My favorite wax is from Diamond Dotz, I purchased some on Amazon, and here is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BXSVFW2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The wax had gone down a lot in the container, so now I put regular wax in the little container, and it makes the wax easier to use 😊 Hope this helps!! Have a great weekend!! 💖
I was bought 3 to be put away for my birthday in Feb and I completed them all very quickly and was obsessed from there. I was bought another 5 more to replace my birthday stuff and I ordered myself some. I've done around 20 now but nothing bigger than a 40x30 or 30x40. I keep hearing about aliexpress so I thought I would give them a try ( a try been 14 paintings 😂). I was impressed with one seller as i ordered on the 28/3 and it arrived today been 6/4. I thought that was super. I have learnt my lesson on the detailed ones as I have 4 and I can only notice 2 of them so I want to get them in a bigger canvas. I also want to try the angled pens as I struggle to see.
It sounds like the diamond painting bug has bitten you 😊 It really is so much fun!! You have done quite a few in a short amount of time - that's great! If you have a lot of detail in a picture, you definitely need to get a bigger size or you won't be able to tell what it is - lol!! I love my light board, because it really does help me see those tiny little symbols - it really is a great investment if you are going to do a lot of diamond painting. Have fun diamond painting!! 😊💖
Thank you for the info. I just started doing the diamond painting. I'm going to sub to your channel ! What do you do with all the extra drills when your done with a picture ?
Thank you!!! I usually throw the drills away, unless they are special drills. I used to try saving them, but it got to be a pain keeping up with them 🙂❤
Just received my 1st Diamond picture and I was so confused. Your video has helped clear things up. Thank you so much for taking time to make this video. Looking forward to more of them.
I am so happy that I was able to help you!!! It is confusing to start with, that's why I thought I would share a few things, and I do plan on making more of them :) Good luck and have fun with yours :) -Grace
I bought it because I thought the pictures were beautiful when finished and I'm always looking for something new to try. The only thing confusing and hard to see are the small letters.
I love my harbor freight boxes. The best thing is if you miss a drill you can just open the box and dip your pen into the drills without having to put them in the tray. I actually use the boxes for drills with a lot and use the baggies for the ones that have only a little!! 😊I love your channel.
It's 5d girl!!! I love you too, you are a sweetheart!!! Yes, you need to go ahead and take the plunge - you know you want to. Your kids would love it too!! xoxoxox Grace
How do you clean them? I have done two pictures and really like the way they come out. I do hace a tip , I did have one picture that wasn't very sticky so I bought some tacky spray at the Dollar Tree and sprayed it right on the picture and that worked great.
I take an unused toothbrush and run it over the drills - I'm going to be doing a video this week showing this, and how I'm going to frame my tree painting!! Love that tip!! Thank you for sharing! -Grace
If just started if only done 2 but this one has the drill's that have stuck to each other there really hard to separate is there an easy way to do it thanks
Yes, those drills can sometimes stick together so hard that it's very difficult to get them apart. I use a grinder that I purchased from Archer's Arts on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/410618772783310/ Amazon also sells them: www.amazon.com/Diamond-Painting-Separator-Separate-Diamonds/dp/B07L9Z1K3P/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1R1I5KS8HTMRV&keywords=diamond+painting+grinder%2Fseparator&qid=1569018927&sprefix=diamond+painting+grinder%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-1
Awesome video! Thank you so much! Can you tell me where you got the "yarn tree girl" kit? I am a crocheter too and would love to do that one but i can't find it!! Thank you!!
I went back to look for that "yarn tree girl" kit, and they don't have it anymore - someone else was asking about it too. I wish I could find another similar to it, and if I do find one, I'll let you know!! It's fun having more than one hobby!!
I don't seal diamond paintings that I frame. Here is a link to a video I recently made showing my favorite sealer that I use: czcams.com/video/kzc97m83Zb0/video.html Hope that helps!
I ordered it from Amazon, and I have also ordered some sticky tack to see which I like best. I will put the links to both products right here: Florist Sticky Clay www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BQ084C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Loctite Putty Tabs www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018A3AG0W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope this helps :)
I used to save my extra drills in small baggies, but I got tired of keeping up with them, so I just throw them away now. I've been very lucky in always having enough drills, and if I don't I will contact the company or you can always buy extras on Etsy.
Hello Grace. The diamond paintings are absolutely beautiful. Here's a tip for the symbols... If you have a copier where you can increase the size of what you're copying, then print the symbols larger so they're easly read, then you can cut and tape the symbols to the storage containers which can be easily removed when your done and you won't damage the original key.
That is such a fantastic idea!! I don't have a copier that will do that, but I will have to think of a way that I can do it. I do also draw the symbols, as they are pretty easy, but wow, printing them out larger would be fantastic!! Thank you for that great idea!!
The light board in this video is an A4. I have a new video up comparing an A4 and an A3 video that you might want to watch before you decide on which light board you want to buy. Here is a link to the video: czcams.com/video/XzNIfuh4C7A/video.html
I first heard the diamond painting from you and from Cedie Aqui. So I searched it on CZcams because of curiosity. It's interesting but kinda expensive. But its a great hobby.
You can find kits that are much cheaper on AliExpress - that's where I buy most of mine. You can also find them on Amazon and Ebay. I watch Rose all the time - she's very creative!! It is a fun hobby.
you are the person responsible for introducing me to diamond painting! you, you, YOU!! thank you for causing my visa card to scream in pain from the abuse of charges! LOL
LOL!!! This is hilarious, but I'm sorry that your card is screaming in pain - it will shut up after awhile :-D Have fun - it will calm you down when you start placing all those beautiful diamonds!!

Hi Grace,
The blue bird in the black frame ,did you treat the diamond painting before you placed it in the frame? would you be able to do a video on framing ?
Have a great Great day🤗🙂

Thank you very much for all the tips. I bought 3months ago a unicorn diamond painting and haven’t started yet. Lol. Hopefully this week I can start working on it. Thanks again.
You are so welcome!!! I hope you have fun working on it - I find it so relaxing!! Go ahead and get started - you will do fine :) -Grace

Hi Margaret!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really enjoy doing the diamond art, and at first I was a little nervous about doing it, but now I love it!! God bless you my dear!! -Grace
I love all the FANTABULOUS multicolors
I am just getting started in Diamond Painting .Got my 1st kit in the mail. Thanks for the tips.
You are so welcome!!! Have fun :)
Hi Grace. I just love how organized you are with your crafts. It may be a little more work at first, but then it must be so much easier down the road. This video is invaluable, my dear. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your way. OMGosh, my husband LOVES Harbor Freight.
Hi Cindy!! Oh yes, my husband and my brother both love to go to Harbor Freight - there is one about an hour away from our town. I think because I taught so long, I learned to be more organized, and it really does help in the long run. Makes crafting more enjoyable to have it all ready to go!! I'm so glad you liked the video, and I have several wanting to see more on this craft, so I will do this and crochet :) Who said we can only do one craft - lol!!! -Grace
I love your videos and stories..i really enjoy you..thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words Nancy - they sure do make me happy!! 😊💕
Very thorough, Grace. Please show us more vids as you progress....learn more. Thanx for sharing :D
Thank you Kathy!!! I will show more videos and try to give more information as I keep learning more :) I appreciate you watching and commenting!! -Grace
You were sure able to get a lot of information into this video. Great work!
Thank you :)
That's cool... I've never seen one until you posted your video... thank you
You are very welcome!!! I enjoy doing these - they are fun and relaxing. I will post some more videos on both crochet and diamond painting, hope you will watch :) -Grace
I started my first diamond painting a little over a month ago and love it! Now have to decide with my spare time if I want to crochet or drill!😂
I'm the same way!!!! I love to do both, so I find myself having to choose which one I want to do!! The struggle is real - LOL!!!
gbmaltese lol, yes it is! 😊
Thank you for sharing Grace..really neat and organized...
Thank you so much for watching and commenting :) I enjoy doing these!! Hope you are having a fabulous week!!
Hello Grace. 🌻 Oh my, the bird in the peach tree (I think they are peaches) is lovely! The diamond painting with your dog in the uniform is a hoot, lol. Yorkies are wonderful, and they really do think they are the boss. I just love that you explain all of this so well, and you are so organized. I would love to see another video on diamond painting. All of your paintings are gorgeous. Thank you so much for this video. Have a wonderful weekend and a Happy 4th! 💕
Yes, they are peaches!! When I saw that picture of the dog, it looks just like my little general, I had to have it! I am over halfway done with it, and will be showing it again soon. I so appreciate your kind comments - sometimes, I'm not really sure what I have and haven't said, and just hope I make sense!! Hope your weekend is great and that you have a wonderful 4th of July!! xoxo Grace
Hey Grace! I went back in the vault to see how you started with diamond painting. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Valerie!! I hope you don't get locked up in there - lol!! 💖💖💖
Thank you so much Grace for showing how to do your diamond painting: The ones you made are beautiful: it is so sweet of you to take the time to introduce your new hobby: I look forward to seeing the one with the yarn tree; Not sure my eyes could handle this : I still love needlepointing; but my eyes don’t; You’re so kind to share your craft ; thank you again and have a great night; 🤗💕😻🐶 your friend; Caren 💗
Thank you so much Caren!! We crafters are always dabbling into different things aren't we? I love that one with the yarn tree - we can always dream - lol!! I bought the light board so that I could see the symbols, and it really helped a lot!! I love sharing my crafts, and I'm just happy that there are people who are interested in them, and I hope I can be of some help :) Thank you for always commenting and supporting me - you are a true friend!! Love, your friend, Grace xoxo PS - I will have to look for a cat one just for you :)
I can see, great job on your video!!
Thank you!!
I have never seen this before! I'm following you to learn. Help!!! TY
I have several videos on diamond painting!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I will help you in any way that I can! 💖😊💖
I order one with seashells I can’t wait to get it. I live close to the beach in Florida and I love seashells. I would love to see all your diamond paintings
I bet that is going to be beautiful!!! I've shown all the ones I have finished, but I have several more waiting to be done! I do crochet and diamond painting, so I work on one project and then the other :) I've just ordered a custom one today to do for my daughter for Christmas. She sent me one of her favorite pictures of her dogs that I am going to do. I'm excited to see what it is going to look like. -Grace
Yay!!! Love it! I would love one for a giveaway! I would hang it up! Really cool thing that you are doing!
I'm really glad you like it!!! I'm going to look for something that would be an easy starter piece for those who are interested in my diamond painting videos, for a giveaway :) -Grace
Wow...... very helpfull informations👍👍got me the same containers and use the same storage system. It works perfect for me as a newbee. Thank you and many greetings from a very cold and snowy Germany⛄❄
Thank you so much!! I love those containers - very easy to use. I hope you are staying warm - brrrrr!! 💖💖
Hi just got my light, 😀 and hav started my first diamond painting, thanks to you, 👍🏽
How fun!!!! You are going to love it 💖😊
Thank you for the video on diamond painting. Very interesting. I didn't know there was such a thing. I am still running around like a nut so I can't take on anything else. I may try it when things slow down. The light board is an excellent tool. It is great you are using for the painting. Take care.
I found out about diamond painting about a year ago, and I love it!! I still crochet, but I like to switch about doing crafts - as I know you understand :) I hope things settle down for your real soon, so you can get back to your crafting!! I love the light board - it is a game changer!! Hope you are doing well!! -Grace
This looks like fun, I think I would need to use my Ott Light Magnifier to see the tiny symbols..lol I would love to see more. Thank you!
Your Ott Light Magnifier would be perfect for this!!! I enjoy doing these - they are relaxing too. I will be showing more :) -Grace
I just have to say I really adore that big blobby bird plush in the background, I need one of my own!
My daughter actually bought that for me!! I think she ordered it from squishy.com
I mean squishables.com
You were great teaching us how to do it.for beginners Like me.easy to understand. Thank you
Thank you!! I am so glad it has helped you!! Have fun diamond painting!! 💖🌺💕😊
Wow so nice....the blue bird
Thank you 😊
Great tips. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Maureen!! I think us crafters have to get our hands into all sorts of things, don't we - lol!!! -Grace
Hi Grace, this is the first time seeing diamond painting.it looks interesting, and relaxing.that was a good idea to get small zip lock bags for the diamonds.
HI!!! I learned about diamond painting about a year ago - and I love it! It's very relaxing, fun and you have something beautiful when you are finished!! The small zip lock bags certainly make things easier!! I have learned a lot as I go along with this hobby. Thanks so much for watching!! -Grace
Oh boy! I am in trouble now. Looks like it is super fun!
I know what you mean Summer!!! We crafters have to dabble in all sorts of things!! I really enjoy doing this, and I have a lovely picture to hang up too!! I'm going to do a custom one for my daughter. She is choosing a picture of her dogs for me to do! -Grace
Love this craft!!!!!!!!
So do I!!! It is addicting, and I keep wanting more and more!!! So relaxing and beautiful :-)
I really think I want to try this now thank you for showing us this I would like to see more also
I really enjoy doing it, and find it relaxing and fun. I will definitely show more :) -Grace
nice i have never seen anything like this..thanks for sharing this..i am going to try and find out more info so i can do one too :)
Thank you for watching :) I did quite a bit of research before I started my first one. It's a bit confusing, so it helps to watch others do them. -Grace
Thanks, Grace. I don't feel so intimidated now. I'm going to get it a try now! I've had my kits for awhile, but just wasn't sure how to begin. I have MS so my hands are really shaky, but hopefully I can rest my arm on the table so I'm not too shaky. We'll see...
Hi Amy!! I'm so glad you feel less intimidated, and I'm sure by resting your hand on the table, you will do fine. I wish you lots of luck!!! Let me know how you do!! I'll be making videos on diamond painting and crochet - I have lots of people interested in both :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! -Grace
I would love it if you would do another video on the diamond, drill, painting. I am very interested.
I certainly will!!! It really is a fun hobby!!
I love that you shared great tips. I am getting my first one on Thursday (the owl with blue coloring) and I think I am gonna do the baggie method as then it takes up less space and is reusable better than little containers because buying 100 little baggies is far cheaper then a bunch of jars thanks again!
Michele Attardi Yay for getting your first one - I love that blue owl, and think I just might need that one😄 The baggies are really easy to do and are much cheaper for sure!! Have fun💗
I already do have some small jars but after seeing this video think for storage sakes do the bags lol thanks again I am excited to get it and begin!
I have quite a few storage containers, but think I will do some with baggies for storage sake too!! Let the fun begin - lol!!!
thinking of getting a tote to keep all the gallon bags with each project in it so they all stay together and only fit into one tote I can keep under the bed!
That's a fabulous idea!!
So glittery!!! I think I must be a magpie, I’m addicted to shiny things!
OMGosh ,so am I!! I think that is why this hobby has roped me in - lol!!! I also find it quite relaxing!!
Thank you for sharing. I don't think I have ever seen anything like that. I think they are beautiful. You look like you have lots of patience n very organized. Idk if I could do it. Looks complicated. But I would try a small one, even though yiy mention there is no real detail. Thank you very much. Btw I think that the 5d paintings in your giveaways. Hugs from tx.
Hi Adele!! Yes, the smaller ones don't have as much detail, but when you first start out doing this, I would choose a small one, so you can learn how to do it, and see if you like it. It really isn't complicated, and I will do some more videos, and take it a bit slower on how to get organized. I think I would do a diamond painting giveaway on one of my diamond painting videos, because those are the ones who would be most interested!! Keep watching :) -Grace
Nice work... Take lot's of patients... To do this... You are great... Multi talented lady 😍
You are so kind!! Thank you for you sweet words :) xxx Grace
I love this video. I would like to try this. Yes a giveaway for a diamond painting would be great.
Thank you so much!!! I hope you give it a try, and after a few more videos on diamond painting, to see how many will watch, I will do a giveaway!! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you!!!
I love the 3 light box
I actually own both an A4 and an A3 light box now!! I like the A3, because it is bigger and seems brighter too, but I use the A4 for my smaller DPs.
This is a great video for beginners when I first got into to the only videos I found they did not speak English I enjoyed this
Thank you so much. I'm planning on doing one soon on framing one very inexpensively. If you have any tips to share that would be great. This is such an addicting hobby :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! -Grace
I love to do this craft!!
It really is fun and relaxing!!
Interesting, looks beautiful, for sure an increase in reading glasses from 250 to much higher 🤣🤣🤣 that light would be an eye saver thanks for sharing I would enjoy seeing your finished projects for sure.😀
Hi hermanita!!! Yes, the light has really helped A LOT!!! I don't know how I was doing them before I got it. I like to do this when I'm not crocheting - gives me a change of pace. The one I'm doing right now is pretty big - I call it Bogey Bonaparte, because it looks like my little Bogey wearing a general uniform - lol!!! Hope you are doing well!! xoxo Grace
Yes I did see the doggie super cute 😋
Thank you .what do you need the box in the light for apart from putting in the computer
I think you are talking about the light board..... I put that light under my diamond painting, so that I can see the symbols better. I did show that in the video - I hope I understood your questions correctly
yes I want to see more please love it thank you
I will show more then :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting! -Grace
where do u get your 5D painting
I buy most of them on AliExpress and have bought 3 on Amazon.
Thank you
I've never seen these before, It looks like fun.
They really are!! I find them very relaxing to do and they are so pretty when finished!
Wow! I love it, but I want to see the final product, and I want to see more videos of this technique
Thank you!!! I'm anxious to get this dog one done - it looks so much like my pup, Bogey :) I will definitely make more videos of this, as I have several interested!! -Grace
Thank you so much, will be ordering soo
You are so welcome!!! Enjoy this fun hobby :)
I use those same containers from Harbor Freight for my seed bead collection (I also make jewelry). If you take those little boxes and put them on their sides, you can 4 rows of 6 containers (6 from back to front).. use the little pieces of foam inside on either end so they don't slosh around. But all 24 boxes will fit on their sides and you can see into each one.
Thank you for sharing. Do they have blanket sticky canvass? I would like to make one for granddaughter with her school emblem on it. Thanks again.
Yes, you can buy blank canvases and the "diamonds" separately. I have not done this, but I know others that have. Look on AliExpress for diamond painting blank canvases, or something like that. They call the diamonds - drills. They might have them on Etsy too. You are very welcome!! Good luck!!
Great video. Just wondering if your still using the sticky floral clay? Thinking about trying it. I really like the wax but always would like to try something new.
Hi Diane!! I am not using the sticky floral clay or any other tacky stuff at the time. I have gone back to using the wax - it seems to leave less of a messy residue on the drills. It's fun to try new things, and everybody has their favorite, but I have just been using the wax. My favorite wax is from Diamond Dotz, I purchased some on Amazon, and here is the link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BXSVFW2/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The wax had gone down a lot in the container, so now I put regular wax in the little container, and it makes the wax easier to use 😊 Hope this helps!! Have a great weekend!! 💖
I was bought 3 to be put away for my birthday in Feb and I completed them all very quickly and was obsessed from there. I was bought another 5 more to replace my birthday stuff and I ordered myself some. I've done around 20 now but nothing bigger than a 40x30 or 30x40.
I keep hearing about aliexpress so I thought I would give them a try ( a try been 14 paintings 😂). I was impressed with one seller as i ordered on the 28/3 and it arrived today been 6/4. I thought that was super. I have learnt my lesson on the detailed ones as I have 4 and I can only notice 2 of them so I want to get them in a bigger canvas. I also want to try the angled pens as I struggle to see.
It sounds like the diamond painting bug has bitten you 😊 It really is so much fun!! You have done quite a few in a short amount of time - that's great! If you have a lot of detail in a picture, you definitely need to get a bigger size or you won't be able to tell what it is - lol!! I love my light board, because it really does help me see those tiny little symbols - it really is a great investment if you are going to do a lot of diamond painting. Have fun diamond painting!! 😊💖
Thank you for the info. I just started doing the diamond painting. I'm going to sub to your channel ! What do you do with all the extra drills when your done with a picture ?
Thank you!!! I usually throw the drills away, unless they are special drills. I used to try saving them, but it got to be a pain keeping up with them 🙂❤
Just received my 1st Diamond picture and I was so confused. Your video has helped clear things up. Thank you so much for taking time to make this video. Looking forward to more of them.
I am so happy that I was able to help you!!! It is confusing to start with, that's why I thought I would share a few things, and I do plan on making more of them :) Good luck and have fun with yours :) -Grace
Why would you buy this if you had no idea what you were getting into?
I bought it because I thought the pictures were beautiful when finished and I'm always looking for something new to try. The only thing confusing and hard to see are the small letters.
I love my harbor freight boxes. The best thing is if you miss a drill you can just open the box and dip your pen into the drills without having to put them in the tray. I actually use the boxes for drills with a lot and use the baggies for the ones that have only a little!! 😊I love your channel.
Thank you so much for your kind words Sharon!!
Love you lady!!!!!😘😘😘
I need to just stop fighting it and join the 4d revolution!🤣
Wait, is it 4d or 5d?!?
I’m so out of the loop!!!😂😂😂
It's 5d girl!!! I love you too, you are a sweetheart!!! Yes, you need to go ahead and take the plunge - you know you want to. Your kids would love it too!! xoxoxox Grace
How do you clean them?
I have done two pictures and really like the way they come out. I do hace a tip , I did have one picture that wasn't very sticky so I bought some tacky spray at the Dollar Tree and sprayed it right on the picture and that worked great.
I take an unused toothbrush and run it over the drills - I'm going to be doing a video this week showing this, and how I'm going to frame my tree painting!! Love that tip!! Thank you for sharing! -Grace
Grace have fun and enjoy life!
Luv yah 💕
Thank you Christinna!! You are so sweet :) xoxox Grace
gbmaltese aww I do my best to fake it, lol. Don't tell anybody 🙂.
Luv yah 💕
LOL!!! You are so funny :) xoxo Grace
Been thinking of doing this, now i am really thinking about it. Makes it easier if you have an idea of what you are getting into
It really does help to watch someone else do something first. I hope you try it and like it :) -Grace
Pls, pls do more diamond painting videos. ❤️❤️❤️ them and need them as I learn. TY
Keep on watching - I have quite a few!! Let me know if you need help with anything in particular! 🌺🌺
I know I would never have the patience to do that!! Great job of explaining and great tips though!
I'm getting you one for Christmas - LOL!!!!
gbmaltese very funny!
If just started if only done 2 but this one has the drill's that have stuck to each other there really hard to separate is there an easy way to do it thanks
Yes, those drills can sometimes stick together so hard that it's very difficult to get them apart. I use a grinder that I purchased from Archer's Arts on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/410618772783310/ Amazon also sells them: www.amazon.com/Diamond-Painting-Separator-Separate-Diamonds/dp/B07L9Z1K3P/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1R1I5KS8HTMRV&keywords=diamond+painting+grinder%2Fseparator&qid=1569018927&sprefix=diamond+painting+grinder%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-1
Awesome video! Thank you so much! Can you tell me where you got the "yarn tree girl" kit? I am a crocheter too and would love to do that one but i can't find it!! Thank you!!
I went back to look for that "yarn tree girl" kit, and they don't have it anymore - someone else was asking about it too. I wish I could find another similar to it, and if I do find one, I'll let you know!! It's fun having more than one hobby!!
That was neatttt
Thank you Annette!! It's really very relaxing! -Grace
Did you seal your diamond painting?whats your sealant? Were drills still sparkling after you sealed ?
I don't seal diamond paintings that I frame. Here is a link to a video I recently made showing my favorite sealer that I use: czcams.com/video/kzc97m83Zb0/video.html
Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
You are so welcome!! Thank you for watching :) xx Grace
Thanks so much for this video
You are very welcome!! 🌸
Where did you purchase the florist sticky tape from ? Thank you for sharing all your information
I ordered it from Amazon, and I have also ordered some sticky tack to see which I like best. I will put the links to both products right here: Florist Sticky Clay www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BQ084C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Loctite Putty Tabs www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018A3AG0W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hope this helps :)
what do you do with the drills when everything is done,how do you stor them?
I used to save my extra drills in small baggies, but I got tired of keeping up with them, so I just throw them away now. I've been very lucky in always having enough drills, and if I don't I will contact the company or you can always buy extras on Etsy.
Hi hun where do u get ur square bead storage container from pls?
I ordered those containers from www.harborfreight.com I really do like them!!
I would love to do that
I really enjoy doing them!!
Hello Grace. The diamond paintings are absolutely beautiful. Here's a tip for the symbols... If you have a copier where you can increase the size of what you're copying, then print the symbols larger so they're easly read, then you can cut and tape the symbols to the storage containers which can be easily removed when your done and you won't damage the original key.
That is such a fantastic idea!! I don't have a copier that will do that, but I will have to think of a way that I can do it. I do also draw the symbols, as they are pretty easy, but wow, printing them out larger would be fantastic!! Thank you for that great idea!!
Thank you for sharing, What is the number of your light board from Amazon. Thanks
The light board in this video is an A4. I have a new video up comparing an A4 and an A3 video that you might want to watch before you decide on which light board you want to buy. Here is a link to the video: czcams.com/video/XzNIfuh4C7A/video.html
Thanks 🙏🏻 nice video
Thank you so much Carmen!! 💖
I first heard the diamond painting from you and from Cedie Aqui. So I searched it on CZcams because of curiosity. It's interesting but kinda expensive. But its a great hobby.
You can find kits that are much cheaper on AliExpress - that's where I buy most of mine. You can also find them on Amazon and Ebay. I watch Rose all the time - she's very creative!! It is a fun hobby.
I order mine from WISH.COM they are really cheap
Gail Hench I think not in my country. I tried looking on an online seller and it's really expensive. 😊😊😊
