I just learned the hard way with my 'J Wall' - it was so difficult and time consuming. Then I saw Debbie's video and she kits up like you. I bought more containers; spent several hours changing them all and now it's so much easier. At least, as easy as any J Wall DP is! 🙂
Hi Carole! Fantastic! I didn’t realize Debbie and I kitted up the same until this event 😂 goes to show we must watch the same videos 😂😂 I’m glad she was able to help you♥️
Hi Kim. When I decided to do a DPDL diamond painting I first watched your video from the Unicorn painting. This made me think okay I can do this. I then watched 2 other creators videos and purchased my canvas. My categories were very similiar to yours and I ended up with 13 categories. I actually combined people and food together. I loved kitting it up (except for the static). I found that your eye and mind tells you what the symbol is and even if it wasn't what it actually is, I put it in the category of what my eye and mind said it was. Once I started my canvas I automatically knew where to look. Very easy system. My canvas has 220 colours. Excellent video Kim. Hope Bob is recovering and will soon be home. Take care. 💯
Hi Linda! That’s wonderful news! I’m glad this system worked for you, and it helped make the process easier! See we can all do a max color 🤗🤗 have a wonderful weekend! Ps…Bob is on the mend ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Thanks Kim. Watching how you organized your catagories was interesting and makes perfect sense to me. When I am finally able to get a max color kit from DPD I will for sure be referring back to this video before kitting up. Have a blessed day!
I use individual pots and just kit up in order of DMC and so far I’m finding it easy going. After a while you remember where a lot of them are. I also grab the bottles that I know I will use and put them next to the painting ready to grab then when I put them back I usually see another symbol I need so that one joins his buddies by the side of my painting. I’m doing A Diamond Painting Deutschland Josephine Wall Fly me to the Moon. It’s 220 colours and I’m also waiting more drills to come for my blank canvas creation that’s going to be 269 colours and approx 120x120cms. I can’t wait 😊
That’s awesome! Everyone thinks and processes information differently, so you definitely need to go with a system that works with your brain 🧠 😂 I’m glad the DMC order is your system. It certainly will make for a much easier kit up! 😂
It's so cool to see how alike and different we are with categories. We have alot of same categories but also many that different. It does take along to time kit these massive kits,but I feel like the prep work that is done beforehand literally makes the actual kitting super easy. Waiting for next part. Hope all is well. Take care.
Funny! We kit up similar, but I enjoyed seeing some of your symbols and how you put in a different section. You include lock under tools, and I included under house accessories since you lock “the castle” lol. I only had 1 other tool so had to improvise lol! Thanks for sharing!
what a fascinating video. some of the symbols I would have put elsewhere. like one looked like a light house to me. and the blob you put in letters as an M looked just like a blob fish to me!
Hi Kim, I just wanted to thank you for doing this video and taking the time to explain everything so well. I was daunted by all the symbols and categories is the answer. Now I’m ready to look into ordering a Deutschland painting! See you in the event in April! Dawn 💜
Hi Dawn! Wow that makes me so happy to hear! 1 that you found the information helpful! 2 that you’re treating yourself to a DPD! I hope you love the quality of their product! ♥️
Watched and changed my kitting to symbols. I'm starting with a little J Wall with 55 colors. I did numbers, alphabet, arrows, lines, math symbols, dots, corners, and misc. Even with just 55 colors, it's so much quicker. Thank you. Watching for Part II.
Oh Lord, I didn't know what I was getting into! 😮I should have watched this before I bought my canvases. I bought Earth Angel from DPD and a massive Magic Merry-go-round from The One with the diamond paint. I've only been diamond painting for about a month. It looked easy in some videos. Omg was I wrong ! My ADD brain is going to fry doing this! 😂 Sheesh I’m just going to keep my J Walls put away until I watch these videos thoroughly over and over. Lol. Thank you for sharing your tips for kitting up and wish me luck. 😅
Hi Christina! It can get overwhelming, but you will get into a groove. My biggest piece of advice is to take your time kitting these large projects up. Figure out a system that makes sense to you. That will be very helpful when searching for a color in 250 colors. You will be changing colors frequently and needing to go back into containers you were in over and over again. So keep that in mind. ❤️ if you have IG just message me if you have any questions or need help. I’d be happy to assist. Ps. Keep watching to see me do my first square so you can see how I use the pods.
@@kimbaskrafts I do have IG so if I need help I will definitely message you! Thank you for offering. I’ll keep watching and hopefully I can get into my own grove.😊❤️
This is my first JWall, 233 colors, so it will be a learning experience for me. I am starting with bags in DMC order. If that doesn't work, I have five boxes of 56 snap cubes to rekit with. I also have half of a computer desk to use, so there is no room to lay everything out. I bought a small organizer with 20 spaces for trays. Definitely a learn as I go project.
Hi Karyn! Thank you! I’m so glad you found this informative ♥️♥️ Omg! If only I saw this comment the next day! Haha. I took like forever to figure that out 😂😂😂😂
I saw so many people saying it is easier if you do it by categories, I decided to do it that way. I also made a list of those numbers that are almost alike. I just hope that now I have categorized everything, I will be able to recognize it in that category again.
Wow awesome and helpfull video. 66 colors is my most…. I have always workes in category. Letters, +=%#-, Numbers ans symbols and in the symbols category i keep arrows, dots etc. Together. I’ve kittet up i a drawersystem, easy to pull out a drawer to take a drill. But that could only work with 60-70 colors or less. And after 3 years working with that system - and some musclepains later - I work in containers 😅 never stop Diamond painting 🥳🥳🥳
Hi Jaenet! That’s exactly how I kit every painting up! No matter 35 colors or 250! I’m with you! Congratulations on keeping up with the craft through aches and pains 👏👏👏 wishing you a painless year of Diamond painting ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😘😘😘😘
Not sure if you are aware, but I believe Diamond Painting Deutschland keeps all the symbols the same for the J Wall kits. So, if you kit in individual containers, you don't have to do this again for your next kit... just add the new colors and remove any that you don't have in the new one.
nothing like kitting up a massive one like this. I have so much fun doing it all. Kitting up by symbol speeds things up big time even for a regular 60 color kit. I remember feeling the difference the first time I decided to eliminate using the legend and just went by symbols. I can't wait to get going with my j wall in April! I really wish I was doing a max color with you guys. But I am doing so many events in April and I wanted a canvas I could finish in one month. So I am doing a DAC one--Spirit of Flight. The Dakotathon will keep me busy alongside that J Wall.
I like what you do. I guess I kinda do it the same way. I use the symbols. Do you feel I need the DMC to pint. They are more useful for kitting down. My biggest painting I have to do has 106 colors and I’m not looking forward to doing it!!!i pur the DMC under the symbol though for kitting down. Thank you for sharing your system😊
Hi Kim thanks for the video. That’s is way to many colours for me. I get overwhelmed with 60 😂. How did you understand the language on the deutschland website? There is one I would like to get but I have no idea how to order it. I tried to switch to English but it don’t translate.
sign up for a account and there is a big A and small a on the top of the page pull it down and you should get translate to english that’s how i order mine
Thanks Tracy! I do it the hard way bc I don’t know where the A/a is 😂 I click 1. the 3 bar drop down on the top right corner 2. Go all the way to the bottom and click Language 3. Make sure the first drop down says English and the second drop down says United States of America And the website should change ❤️

Hi Jess! I know what you mean! The max color kit calls our names! Did you decide on the which DAC one yet? 🥰
@@kimbaskrafts now that I know they are allowed, I am thinking I'lll do my j wall mystery from dac. The struggle is real. I have a week to decide....

It definitely helps having the dmc on the sticker for kit downs. Otherwise you’re going to have to reference the legend. I prefer having both ♥️😘
