I’m working on the classic flower kit now. I finished the exotic and I just LOVE them! I kit up as I do each flower. I don’t kit up the whole thing at once.
Loving this comparison series! Thank you so much. Now to throw in more, doh! Michael's has a brand of diamond paintings called Make Market which has mini diamond paintings as well now. They also come in a set of six and have a floral set with similar flowers. They are in round drills not square. They run $16.99 before discount per set. I did not pick up the floral set because I wasn't impressed with the rendering showed on the box. I did pick up a few of their other mini diamond painting kit sets though. Make Market looks to also be trying to do similar to PaintGem as their themes are similar to what PaintGem has come out with already. The canvas size and picture size is uniform, the drills are acrylic, the rendering is not great, no sticker sheet, no dmc codes, tool kit meh. What surprized me was that this is the same price point as the DAC! I did use a 20% off coupon which was $3 off per kit. DAC is saving some money though by not putting in the metal tweezers which typically do come with a square drill diamond painting. I hope you are able to find one of the Make Market floral kits to continue the comparison series with. Again, thank you for the fun.
Thank you so much for watching. Yes, I do plan to get a Make Market kit. (No worries, once I committed, I was IN! lol) It is going to be a little tricky for me to get one of them as I don't live anywhere near a Michaels, BUT I am traveling in a couple of days and I am going to see if there is a Michaels on my way!
@@selenew1242 - I looked into that. I don’t like the $8/$9 shipping for a $15ish item. And as much as I would love to buy $50 worth for free shipping, I can’t. But if ordering online ends up being my only option, that’s what I’ll do.
Agreed. I got thinking about that later. I was just so overwhelmed by everything else with the DAC kit at the time … It does not come off. They chose your decor, whether you like a neutral light yellow or not.
I buy 99.99% of my diamond painting kits from Temu. I would love to try one of the paint gem kits but the price is very high to me. Even Temu kis are too expensive for me to try it out.
I keep a close eye on the kits on TEMU bc the price can fluctuate so much. Sometimes I’ll find a shop selling a kit for $15 and another selling the same one for $19. I put a couple in my cart from different stores and let them sit and check the price changes regularly.
For the DAC kit, I think it’s going to be really annoying that they segregated the diamonds by image . If you only have one sticker sheet and non sealable bags, you have to kit up anyway .so you’re going to have to hunt for all the same colors from each image for your one label
I got thinking about that later … It does not come off. I’m not sure why they chose light yellow other than it’s neutral. Except … what if that does not work with your home decor?? So, yeah, I’m not thrilled with it either.

I am halfway through the classic flower. I’m also doing just one flower at a time, but combine the same drills as I do them.
Awesome comparison! You did a great job, as always! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! And you are very welcome. 🤗

@@knits4sanity They are sold online as well.

@@knits4sanity I like that reasoning for buying $50 of craft supplies.
You get 15% off if you are on there face book vip group for dac.I have a couple of the temu kits coming to try out,
Yes, you do! I think you will like the TEMU kits. 😊
Does the yellow frame come off the Diamond Art Club one? Not sure I like it if it doesn't. Very interesting.

Good point!
Why the yellow on DAC? Not liking that
