Thank you for the idea of combining squares/rounds, especially when my spares are not that many right now. I can fit all of my spares into two boxes with room to spare. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I get my spare drills from Aliexpress or Smith’s beads. Have looked at Temu but as it’s new I’m waiting a while for them to iron out any problems and for the company to settle in. Great video. I cut a load of those index cards down to make my card inserts but what I found with mine was making and cutting down laminated sheets for baggie inserts as I wasn’t going to spend £30 plus on very thick baggies when I had a gazillion of laminating pouches sat in my craft room stash. I have 2 boxes for squares and I need to create my box for rounds. I have now subscribed to your channel so look forward to seeing what you do next. 😊
Thanks for your comments. I did look at Smiths beads but ended up ordering some spares from Silaba instead. However, I did order some more from Artdot as they cost £34.99 for 1000 of each. That worked out at £0.08 per 1000 and I was paying £0.30 for 200. How do you find the lamination sheets inside the bags? Do you find it causes static at all? I haven’t added anything to my bags and I did order the slightly thicker ones but they’re not as thick as the really expensive ones. And I may have just moved into 3 boxes. 😆
Mine are in two boxes & use round & square under the same card as well. I only have baggies for colours that I actually have & this works well for me too :)
This looks really good could you tell me how big your boxes are please I may replicate this for my wife and I as we've become addicted recently to diamond art 😂 TFS
These boxes, I’ve had a while and so not even sure where I got them from. I hear that the photo boxes from Hobbycraft are really good (and available!) so might be worth looking at those. Hope that helps.
Not quite have enough spares as yet but thinking about it soon. I have been thinking of doing a DP of my last 'fur baby' and was wondering how best to convert a photo. Any advice would be appreciated 😀
I didn’t have enough spare drills and I still went for it 😂. Although I’ve spent a small fortune in buying drills and I’ve had some lovely members of the community send me some too. Probably not the best way round doing it but I’m too impatient 😆. I used Pixel Stitch to convert my photo into a cross stitch pattern. Very easy to do but you just need to unselect any colour under 150 so it doesn’t include those. You can then choose to either go free format like I am and doing it on a home made canvas or order a proper blank canvas from a shop. There is always another option where you can have you photo made into a kit. Stay tuned for an unboxing video as I have sent off for some custom paintings to be made and they’ve arrived so I’ll be sharing those in a video soon!
I’ve heard the rumours too. I’ve ordered twice from them and so far no issues. Everything has turned up without any issues and no fraudulent activity on my bank account.
@@diamondpaintingnerdnever had a problem with temu and have ordered a vast amount of stuff also never heard anything about fraudulent activity from anyone
And what’s the length of the card inserts. X
I believe they’re 2.5 inch x 3 inches but can check tomorrow for you for sure!

It’s a space saver by combining them so I deffo think it’s the best way to store them 😊

@@diamondpaintingnerd Thank you for that info and i'll def be watching your video. Thanks x
Cannot cut that stuff without it breaking up!!
It shouldn't break up when cutting it? Is it definitely foam board you are using?

Be careful on temu as I have heard people have had there details used and extra money go out of there bank
I’ve heard the rumours too. I’ve ordered twice from them and so far no issues. Everything has turned up without any issues and no fraudulent activity on my bank account.
Never heard anyone say they had an issue butvthanks I will use a different xard for purchases, not my main card. Thanks for sharing

Use gift card instead of your debit or credit card. They are safer
