I love watching you when you say this thing rolling ❤❤❤I am from the UK
I am so glad that you started a channel - AND THAT i FOUND IT. I cannot wait to see this little buggy progress. It's just so cute.
Hi Charleen, I waited to long to enter the social media world and sat on the sidelines watching other channels cuz jumping in to this was all kinds of scary. I have met so many wonderful people that I'm glad I made changes in my life to do so. You are the type of people I always hoped to meet so thank you for joining the channel becoming part of my network of new friends. So glad you're here. (Hint, that buggy is so coming along I can't wait to share the finish)
There is so much valuable information in this video for both new diamond painters and old! Valuable lessons , expensive ones also that i had to learn the hard way lol...thank you so much for keeping me company while I am diamond painting, its just a pleasure to hang and enjoy good company while doing something i love..great video ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh Jennifer, thank you so much. I'm always so pleased to hear that my droning on about 1 thing or the other is valued. I always hoped I could bring something to a hobby community that would be a benefit to someone. So pleased to see this comment and thank you for taking the time to share.
Found your channel a couple months ago and now I am a huge fan I love your Temu hauls and your Wips !!! I started my diamond painting journey with budget kits and I’m beginning to look for my first square kit so thank you for your amazing advice.
Thank you so much Hayley! I love sharing my journey with you and vice versa. It is a pleasure to share this hobby with others and I'm glad my information was useful for you. Welcome to the channel and glad to have you here!
I just love your content and your personality! You make me smile! I’m 3/4 of the way thru my first canvas. Square is definitely my next goal but not soon! I’m so intimidated by squares!
Hi Mary, squares are only scary at first. I have lived that life too..lol. Thank you for your kind comments about my content and personality. I am being my true self and refuse to be anything else just because this is a social media platform. I'm gonna be me and will not always have the more popular opinions about things but will voice those opinions anyway. Go forth and join the SQUARE world cuz once you do, you'll see the DP options for you will just expand! Here's to overcoming your fear!
OMG, I love that little blue Volkswagen, so cute. Thanks for sharing with us all.
Hi Franny, I loved it too. I will soon be posting a "Show and Tell" video and the completion of that VW Bug is included. Stay tuned.
I started with coasters and xmas ornaments. Ive done 6 budget rounds and will start my first budget square tomorrow. So far all 30x40 size. I finished up one just listening to you now. I enjoy the company.
Hi Jen... When I started I didn't even know there were off-canvas options (heck maybe there weren't then). NIce way to start. Not only learning DPing but having a use item to display. Great move. Welcome to the SQUARE life! Squares generally take longer than rounds and can get a little frustration but hang in there. Doing squares opens up some many more doors in this hobby. Let's us know in a future post how it all came out for you. Thanks for watching!
I " Love " the knowledge you share. I'm so glad I found your Channel a few days ago. I have been diamond painting 13 months and I still learn new ideas from you. I buy Amazon bundles for $20 - $25. They cost me on average $2 each. Tiny Fun is my favorite budget company. I'm gonna try squares but I'm overwhelmed thinking about it. Baggies are a must for this Craft for saving your drills incase you are shorted drills. Thank You and God Bless ❤
Christine it is so overwhelming (in a very happy way) when I read comments like this. I've been on the sideline watching others over the years and never felt I had anything new or different to offer. I always hoped that someone would benefit from the what I had to share but you never know. Supporters like you are what I always hoped for! Thank you for the kind words and welcome to the channel!
I’m loving your videos! I think you are probably the most intelligent DP UA-camr out here. Great information and very relaxing music in the background! Thank you! My next step in DPing will be possibly a cross stitch conversion project!
Hi Wendy, I kinda don't know how to say this so here it goes... your comment literally made me gasp out loud. I don't know what I did or said for you to give me that incredible label but it made me blush. Thank you, thank you and thank you. So very kind. So glad you are here.
Love the bug DP! I started DP last February. My first one was the DAC War Pony. I was hooked! I did cross stitch years ago. I have completed 13 diamonds paintings. I LOVE square diamonds!!! Just joined your channel recently. I love confetti-heavy paintings. I do use multi placers also up to 6.
Diane, that is impressive. I like you, LOVE the hobby. I just can't help it. I love the shopping, love the process and love the resulting DP. Ugh! Way to separate me from my from my funds... I find myself complaining to the Confetti Demons but I really do like the results confetti give me. Changing colors 12 times in a 2" x 2" square doesn't always make me giggle but the results are usually worth it. Welcome to the channel. Glad to have you here.
I have so enjoyed your content! You will very easily break 500 subscibers and then more!! Also, thanks for all the Temu enabling....my husband is NOT happy but my wallet is estatic!
Hi Peggy, what a lovely thing to say. You're more optimistic than I am. LOL. 500 is a really big number and am shocked at my Sub count already. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Ummm... can I ask that you never point out my channel to the hubby.. hahaha. Your wallet and mine could be BESTIES! Happy shopping. Love this community. Thanks for watching.
Omg love this channel. I truly learned a lot since new to the art. Thank you for educating me on things I knew nothing about. God bless ❤
Wow, you comment made me gasp with delight and I'm not even kidding. Thank you so much. I'm grateful to have you here and looking forward to putting more content together. Again thank you Angela and welcome to the channel.
Congratulations on 100 + subscribers!! 🎉😊
HI Kelly, thank you so much. I'm still floored about it. The channel has continued to grow and I couldn't be more pleased. Welcome to the channel.
Love this DP. I've been contemplating getting it. I prefer larger sizes, but this one does have good detail on it, so, I just may go for it. Thanks for sharing 💜🙂
Good choice!
I think you'll be surprised about reaching 500. I can see you make it to that number easily. I appreciate the knowledge you're sharing as a newbie. It'll help me keep from making some mistakes along my journey. :)
Hi Salina Welcome to the channel. I always hoped with I started the channel a little of a month ago, that my experience would be helpful to others. You are proof that I am starting to see that wish come true. Thank you for sharing your comments. 500?? Now that's a huge number to me so we'll just have to see. I am very much a newbie at the YT stuff and am learning as I go. Thanks for your support and kind words.
That car is fun!
I am working on it now and YES it is fun. So nice to revisit a Round painting for once. It is coming along nicely. I will do a "Show and Tell" on it once it is completed but until, I'm having all kinds of fun with it! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your content. I love the info on progression paths in this hobby. PS I have ordered that same car canvas and I just got notification while watching this that it's arrived in my post box so excited to get it and start that im thinking of trying to do multiple WIPS for the first time since starting! Keep up the great work Kelly Renee x
HI Teagan, yes that little VW Bug never left my desk after I received it. I am so glad I finally got it started. Nice to work on a "snack size" dp for once. This is also my 1st time to do multiple wips. Thanks for watching!
Love it, good information...thank you for taking the time for all of us...💎❤️💙
Hi Teresa, no thank YOU for watching and always being here. I'm glad you enjoyed the content.
I love this video! tons of great info! Thank you!
Thank you. I am so glad you found the info I shared helpful. You never know if anyone will benefit from the info so when I hear that someone has, it really makes doing the video worthwhile.
Love your bug! :)
HI Alice, I loved the bug too. Brings back memories for me. I have finished that canvas and will be doing a Show & Tell video on it soon. Stay Tuned!
Glad I came upon channel. Love the info provided.❤
Hi there, Thank you so much for the support. I am always so glad to hear I have valuable info to share. I often wonder when I'm droning on about one thing or the other, if the info is helpful. So glad you're here.
I love you girl! You are so awesome...
Aww. thank you Aletha.. That is just so kind to say... Appreciate it!
Thank you for keeping me company again. Also great advice. I would love to do a max colour or cross stitch conversion. I hope you have a fantastic week💗
HI Dusty, Thank you for watching. Yes those MAX colors are intimidating. I haven't take mine out of the box yet. HeeHee. I am both excited and scared to fail. I will conquer the DANG thing. Trust and believe. Yay me!
Congratulations. I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative. I'm fairly new to diamond painting and have learned alot from you.
Hi Kathy M. Wow that is so kind. I am so pleased when I hear this. It makes the effort of doing the channel completely worth it. Thank you for sharing this. So glad you are here and welcome to the hobby & channel!
Congratulations on 100+subscribers 🎉🎉
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel.
I really enjoyed your video thank you
Hi Belinda, welcome to the channel. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
Just found your channel. Love it, thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you Corndog.. so glad you're here. Welcome to the channel.
I just started diamond painting in October 23. I really enjoy it. I have 2 kits going I will have one at work and one at home.
Hey Jo, that sounds like a plan. I "restarted" in Oct 2023 after a little hiatus. Now I can't put the darn things down Welcome to the hobby and thanks for watching.
Oooh, I'm really slow. I do not presently DP each day. I went from 2 to 3 inch DP's, was hooked and now doing a 20x20. And I too like Owls. So that is the DP I'm now doing. I order my DP's from Temu and all are round drilled paintings. Because of you, I now will look for a SQUARE DP to try. Just sounds interesting to try. I'm no where near finished with my present project. I'll say I'm 1/5 of the way started. I did order a back light board because of being able to see drill areas clearly. Believe me, I've already learned so much from you. Yes, I'm subscribed. After watching about 3 of your videos I decided this is my kind of teacher. You do educate as well as share your experience. Thank you. I'm not really caring that your videos at times are long, I like your vibe and style. The 20x20 is my first of it's size. I am enjoying it. It's just another and new craft that relaxes me. I've got one more DP coming from Temu and any day now my light board should come. I'm going in!! My next search and purchase is for square paintings. Thank you again and have a Blessed one! John 3:16-18
Hi Omaam, So glad you are enjoying the content. Welcome to the channel and the hobby. It sounds like you've got a great start in the hobby. That Lightpad is a MUST for me. I'm getting older and anything that makes this hobby more enjoyable, I will give it a try.
I'm pleased that you've learned some new things from me. It was always my wish that I would have something worthy to share with viewers. I really appreciate you saying so and sharing your DP journey. Let me know if there is anything specific you'd like to see or see again on the channel and I will try to oblige.
Yes, some of my videos will run long and some will run short It all depends on the topics/content. I hope you'll stay around and continue your journey with me.

Greetings!
Got my light board from Temu today,, 2/12. Came well packaged. I was worried because I know the light board is so thin. It's quite small though. I'm going to order a larger one in the near future hopefully. Haven't found puzzle sealer at Dollar Tree yet. But I certainly will get one and try it. Thank you and have a blessed one!
Hi Omaam, I understand about the light pads. I keep multiple sizes myself. I love a lightpad I nearly ALWAYS use mine. Happy to hear yours came..
Love this video! I’m a diamond painting noobie and really appreciate the tips here. I’m working on my first kit, it’s Medusa from dac, lol it’s square, it’s large, and it’s all confetti 😂. Prob not the best first choice, but I’m learning and I’m having fun ❤. Thank you very much for this video, it answered many of my questions 😊
Hi there, YOU GO GIRL.. Jumping right in to a Premium SQUARE with DAC! Whew, love it. "Best first choice"??? Girl, if that canvas called to you and you love it, and you're ready to jump in to the deep end.. just go for it. I bet you are loving it! That is what matters. There may be some suggested ways to enter the hobby but there are many and your way is making me do a "Snoopy dance". (Be thankful you can't actually see my moves right now). LOL Welcome to the channel.
I bought this yesterday. I love doing this I have done 5 paintings since end of December. Love your channel.
Hi Lynn. Oh yea, I'm nearly finished with this one and I love it. Wow 5 since the end of December? Now I really know I'm a slow Painter lol. Glad you are here.
Hi Lynn. Oh yea, I'm nearly finished with this one and I love it. Wow 5 since the end of December? Now I really know I'm a slow Painter lol. Glad you are here.
This is a really good video!!! Very great tips. I’m in my first year of diamond painting and I did not know about the max diamond paintings. My next step is to do my first square drill diamond painting.
Hi Felicia, YEA Max Color kits. I knew about them for a while and always felt intimidated and ran away like a baby. I am now taking me fear, setting it side and now am onboard. Got two of them here and will do an unbagging for the channel. Ok.... so I'm still a little scared both painting are STILL in the box used to mail them in. I haven't cracked the seal but I did allow them past my front door. That's progress right?? LOL
Please keep the content coming. Your personality is coming through for sure. I'm thinking of buying a budget canvas for Diamond Grandma's #barnlife24 event. I have Chuck Pinson's Honey Drip Farm, but I've will so many other projects going. I acquired my first DAC at deep discounts and got hooked. I love doing my own custom diamond paintings because it is not easy finding canvases with POC that resonate with me.
Hi Marla, welcome to the channel. Thank you so much for the kind words. I refuse to pretend to be something I am not. I do the channel for both my enjoyment and to speak MY truth. I will not always choose the popular opinion so I appreciate your support. It subs like you that make this channel successful!
I hear you when you say to stay in the “Budget Range” when you are starting to Diamond Paint. It seemingly makes sense so that one doesn’t spend a lot of money on a craft they might not enjoy. However, working on a budget painting that 1. Takes forever to arrive because it’s coming on a “slow boat from china”, 2. Working on a canvas that either frays on the edges or is so stiff that it never lays nice and flat even flattened under a stack of book, 3. (As you say) Working on a small painting with a lot of detail that looks great in the original picture you see online but after you finish it is so pixelated that you cannot tell what it even is. This can easily happen because many budget companies only offer small paintings to keep the price so low, 4. Unknowingly working on “stolen - unlicensed” artwork that are poor in resolution and color, resulting in a poor quality rendering, 5. Working with a kit that has poorly shaped drills, fighting with them resulting in gapping in the finished product. INSTEAD, I recommend, buy a quality kit as your FIRST piece. Most companies will offer you a discount if you are a first time customer! You may find that you LOVE Diamond Painting rather than Not liking the craft due to poor quality products. Then you can experiment with trying some other companies and if you do run into problems, you’ll know that not all of the diamond paintings are this way.
Hi Debbie, Absolutely GREAT ADVICE. My suggestion was strictly based on a money saving approach. Working with quality does make a huge difference. I'm sure there are many that will take your approach and find their "ZEN" in this hobby. Buying budget -- and doing it well -- does take a little time to learn. You can buy a Diamond Art Club on Amazon for a reasonable amount so you can buy Premium on a budget. That would be an ideal start as well. Thanks for all your info and sharing it here for all to see. Welcome to the channel.
Greetings Queen!
Thank you. I have a question. Dollar tree has a puzzle sealer specifically for puzzles. Thinking out of the box, can I use that to seal my diamond paintings? Right now as a beginner I stick to very small or small projects. What do you say!
I would say yes but would test it's clarity. I absolutely would give it a try if I find it in my Dollar tree. Let me know how it all works out.
If you don't mind me asking,where you get your light from?
Hi Stay Blessed, You can get a Lightpad from Amazon or Temu or even Aliexpress. They are readily available and dependent on the size very affordable. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the information that you have given. I started diamond painting in 2021 but stopped. I have restarted the end of 2023. Is a canvas still good after 2 to 3 year?
Absolutely they are! I have one I started a couple years ago so the plastic was raised around the drills and even right against those drills it is still sticky. If you do run into a problem with the stick, you can put down some double sided tape or take a drop of diamond painting sealer and put a little on your canvas and put your drills on top. It will take a bit longer to dry but it will hold the drills down. Sorry this was so long
Hi there, Dusty (see below) is absolutely correct! Yes after 2 or 3 years the canvas will still work for you. If you find some "dry" non-sticky parts, I use Alenes Over and Over Tacky Glue to replace the stick. It is my preferred replacement "tacky stuff". Pull out the older canvases and jump right back in. So glad you're here and love it when we support each other in the comments. I'm so happy to be part of such a supportive community!
What kind of pen is that?
Hi Jaime, I think you may be talking about the Vacuum pen? If so, that can be found on Amazon. The Beadsmith pick it up tool. I've modified it for Diamond Painting so I can use my Clay pens with it. If you meant another item, just let me know.
