I always find it funny when I watch other Diamond Painting channels and they say how much they like colour blocking and hate confetti, and here I am loving confetti and not liking the colour blocking as much lol
I really enjoyed this video, Jessica. I also love confetti,but approach it in a completely different way. That’s what’s so wonderful about diamond painting: each of us can make something beautiful without following a rule book. I think your video will help some people who do find confetti challenging. ❤️
Rambling Rose and Diamond Painting Thanks, Rose! I hope you are well! You’re so right - no rules and no failures! And we have a great community where people can see lots of different approaches and art styles. I love it! 😍
I'm working on a confetti heavy painting right now so I appreciate your tips on this. I love the pen I got from Jim & ended up ordering one for my daughter.
I started diamond painting maybe 5-6 yrs ago as my best friend introduced me to it. I never really paid attention to whether I was doing color blocking or doing confetti. I'm weird I think. I pull down half a side of paper as most of my DP's are divided into 4-6 separate sheets covering the glue and work in areas that are around 1-2 inches by 5 inches or so at a time. I'll need to try this and see if it really makes a difference for me. I always zone out when doing these until I'm done with it. It's my quiet place I go to. I also cross stitch, so, maybe that's why I don't pay attention to the pattern formation? I also just came across your channel as well as some others because I was stuck in a rut and not doing well mentally or was not interested in doing anything at all. I have quite a backlog of paintings and was hoping by watching a few channels on my various hobbies would spark my interest back up.
Hi, Dragons!! It sounds like you have a great working method! I second your observation that DP doesn’t require too much checking in - I definitely think that’s part of the relaxation. 🥰 Sending you big hugs and hoping the sunshine comes out soon. ❤️
I really appreciate your confetti explanation about shading and colors. I wasn’t sure how to tackle my second diamond painting because there is quite a bit of confetti and several color blocking areas. I’m still learning and loving every minute. Also, isn’t it funny how we were all sick in January and early February (whether you’re around kiddos or not).
Thank you for explaining “confetti”..., I had an idea what the term meant with regard to DPing..., but your explanation and then how you tackle it is a great help. I’m a newbie and Im waiting in my DP canvases I’ve ordered. Thx again... Donna from South Jersey
Jim's pens are gorgeous....just bought two. If memory serves me...it was after watching another of you videos. Thanks for pointing me in his direction.
I just started watching your videos today! I super appreciate the learning curve and your way of teaching! Just perfect for me and I love binge watching your tutorials. I am having issues with my mesh ruler for square drills. Lines up at the top and bottom, however the middle is a mess. Any ideas?
Hi, Connie! Thanks so much! It's great having you here! The mesh rulers can come in different sizes, so I think for them to work you have to have the one that matches the spacing on your canvas. I've never used one myself, but I have encountered some different sizes when perusing the DP universe. :)
This is perfect timing. My next five paintings are all confetti.... aaaaaallllllll confetti... (see, I definitely need help with the losing of the mind part) , a peacock, a tiger, a wolf and a dog and another tiger.
Just found your channel and watched two videos done at later dates and really enjoyed them. I do my DP's in sections and sometimes confetti just puts me in the crazy house :). I am going to to try your way of dark to lighter for sure! I have found that for me I really look at an image for the right mix of confetti and blocking, but generally stay away from anything with huge areas of blocking. I am going to go back and watch your videos from the beginning. LOL. You are using my favorite white tray and I too have now purchased 2 pens from Jim's Handmade Pens. I am about to start my first Ever Moment and it is confetti heavy, so listening to you might get me through it! Thanks again Jessica! Stay safe.
Lori Willits Hi, Loree! I also avoid canvases with a lot of blocking. For me they just don’t render with enough detail. I hope you love your Ever Moment! This is turning out to be one of my very favorite canvases ever. 😀
Found this video as I’m currently working on a confetti-heavy section of my painting. Never thought to go from light to dark shades. However, since I’m using the CraftMates lockable containers, I choose one row of 7, and just work with all the colors in that row that might be in that section. I also have another storage system that uses the little tic tac containers. And with that system, I tend to work in color groups. I think I’ll try your method when I start on my next painting if it’s confetti heavy. Glad to know I’m not the only one who scratches her drills when trying to reposition them. ☺️
Ooobydoobydoo That sounds like a very good system! I think the sanity saving part of this method for me comes with finding colors that are close together, but everyone has their own way of working that is equally valid and fun for them. 😀 I wish you many happy years of diamond painting, and I hope to see you here again!
I'm really new to diamond painting, just starting on my first one yesterday, but so far I actually like the little confetti areas on my small painting. I've noticed they make fun shapes that are interesting to spot and fill in. On mine though I've gone rogue and followed the shade around half the painting which probably would be much more of a mess on a big canvas like yours😅
I love confetti better than color blocking. I have a pen from Jim's shop and love it.I also have paddywaxx and watched how to use it and it is so much better than regular wax.
I notice you are working on your canvas flat on the table! When you get the bottom done where do you go next? I work o a little stand with a light box under, butI want to learn how to work on a big canvas! Have you done a video on how to challenge a large canvas step by step! Thank you so much! I really enjoy your videos! Ricki💙🧡💚💜❤️
Hi, Ricki! I do normally work on a wooden tabletop easel, which helps me prevent neck strain, but for filming it's hard to get a good angle that way. :) I tend to work on about a 8" section along the bottom, then rotate to the side and do the same, move upside down and do about an 8" section, and then the other edge. On big canvases, I may have a center section, so then I use alligator clips to hold the canvas in place and tuck the bottom edge under my easel. That is a great video idea! :)
Thanks for doing this video! I love the confetti as well and these tips are a big help. I don’t mind color blocking at times because I can make some progress but since I love detail, I tend to gravitate towards paintings with lots of confetti. I am still on the fence with Paddy Waxx because of the residue. It may be that we keep the house at 69 in the winter so hoping it will do better as it warms up. Love your pen and yes, I have an addiction there as well. Lol
Rachel Spainhour Thanks, Rachel!! Two tricks help me with the residue a lot: working with a light touch, and warming my wax in the collar of my shirt as I use it. It stays super cold in my house, and that has helped a lot! 😀
It is so exciting to see this picture done in diamond painting. I painted this on 24 x 36 canvas in oils. Want to do this way!!! Left message on evermoment to contact me about a custom picture. Thank you for great tip on painting “confetti”. It will be a big help!
I do cross-stitch embroidery, so dealing with confetti is old hat. I usually go with the largest block and work my way to the singles. But, you're right, pictures tend to have shading. Mmmmmm
Beverley Dee Newman Kind of a no-brainer, right? In diamond painting the patterns do sometimes feel hard to see. 😀 Yours sounds like a perfect way to work too!
Hi, Linda! I have a tabletop wood easel that measures about 25" wide that spares me a lot of neck pain. I found it on Amazon. I believe I have a link to it in the description of my "diamond painting tools I can't live without" video recently if you're looking for one. :)
Just got a gorgeous pen from Jim's yesterday!Purple. Yours is beautiful. My only problem is the Paddywaxx. I get it in just fine but it seems like it packs hard after a few drills and I need to use my tweezers to loosen it up to work again. Any suggestions?
Ooh, I bet your pen is lovely!! Are you using regular or super sticky? I find that with the regular, I have to use a very light touch for best results. I also have to warm the wax a bit if my house is cold or it lacks tack. Now that I've tried the Super Sticky, I love it for my single placer and regular scented for my multi-placer. :)
@@tinyworldsofwonder yes mine is gorgeous! Im using the regular Paddywaxx in my single placer. I also just got some "That Wax" from Metalheads DP. Maybe I'll just use the pink wax until I can get some SS. I don't use my multi placers too much yet as my canvasses have been confetti heavy. Thanks!
I just got my 1st DP kit from Amazon, I do not hear that sound from the diamond being placed, is it the glue, the wax, the pen? I have a cold once every 10 years, after I got the flu shot I had colds about every 6 months for 3 years. Never again am I getting that shot!
That can be so helpful, and it will definitely be in my future! I've seen some people use those cool magnifying glasses that fit over their head and have a light on them. Super high tech and cool! :)
Hi, Elizabeth! Etsy is a great source for cover minders (search for "needle minder" or "cover minder"). If you want to make your own, here is a quick tutorial! :) ua-cam.com/video/oHbVwaNhPdE/v-deo.html
Hi, Genalyn! There are many fabulous, reputable companies out there. You might try Diamond Art Club, Diamond Dotz, Distracted by Diamonds, DIY Moon Shop, Royal Diamond Painting, or Treasure Studios Art to start. Diamond Dotz is especially great for beginners because they have some small sizes. :)
Hi, Kate!! I think part of what you're hearing might be my wax! I use PaddyWaxx and PaddyWaxx Super Sticky religiously, and they make this delightful sound! :) Ever Moment drills also fit very tightly without lifting, so that might be the other part of the cute little pop. :)
I usually work in squares of about 3x4 inches and work starting from the darkest color to lightest. When I finish one color I dump the drills back into their container and move to the next lighter shade. :)
One tip I have which isn’t about how to work as much as it is about my equipment. So I have a large metal drawered organisation system with clear plastic open top containers I picked up somewhere along my craft journey. I used it on my first dp and wished I had some of the smaller plastic sets I see people have... till I worked confetti...... This system allows me to grab out an entire drawer and work out of the drawer itself because it’s shallow but longer. So I have a lot of time saved in not having to tray every single colour. I work in squares and so if 10 of the colours in the square are only 1-7 pieces, I just use from the drawer. If it’s more, I tray them. So maybe look outside the box in storage

WaresTheWolf Yes! We are the founding members of the confetti club!!
Same!

I thought it was just me...lol
I love confetti, makes feel more alert and enjoy changing colours.
Me too! It brings such subtlety to images. That makes the reward that much greater! :)
Took me a while before I knew what you meant by confetti. I do like your method.
Thanks! Yes, I definitely should have defined my terms right at the start!
You have changed my Diamond painting life with this video. I tried it on my painting and I totally see what your saying. I love you. Thanks
Aw, that is great! I'm so glad it was helpful!! :)
Thank you so much. The tutorial was brilliant. Thank you again
I have never done this hobby before but I know I would like the confetti because it adds so much more detail and shading. I enjoy your videos.

Too much color blocking drives me crazy. I live for confetti but we are a like in that regard. 💖💎😍💞
Kendra Iacouzze Kindred spirits!! 😀
I agree, I much prefer the confetti to the color blocking. And I am terrible with multi placers, that probably doesn’t help.
Multi-placers are tricky. I feel like success with them depends so much on the exact size of the drills vs the printed canvas. :)
I have a love/hate relationship with confetti. Those do look like some nice drills.
The Colorful Colorist They are nice and square. 😀 Lots of trash, but they are SO sparkly! 😀
How do you get a beginner to try square diamond painting 🎉❤

Hi, Kelly! I apologize - UA-cam hid this comment from me! I use Shotcut. I hope that helps after all this time! :)

What is confetti? The drills? Im fairly new to diamond painting.

I really don't mind confetti . I really have a hard time with square 310s in blocking . So I kind off stick to rounds .

Hi there!! Confetti means lots of colors mixed together in a small area. Color blocking means big areas of one color. Welcome to this fun hobby!! 😀
@@tinyworldsofwonder omg! Thank you so much for answering my question! It is a really hobby and I'm so excited to start on new pieces 😁
@@Hannah-hc6is My pleasure! 😀
One tip I have which isn’t about how to work as much as it is about my equipment. So I have a large metal drawered organisation system with clear plastic open top containers I picked up somewhere along my craft journey.
I used it on my first dp and wished I had some of the smaller plastic sets I see people have... till I worked confetti......
This system allows me to grab out an entire drawer and work out of the drawer itself because it’s shallow but longer.
So I have a lot of time saved in not having to tray every single colour. I work in squares and so if 10 of the colours in the square are only 1-7 pieces, I just use from the drawer.
If it’s more, I tray them.
So maybe look outside the box in storage
Charity Dutton That is a great tip, Charity! Thanks for sharing!! 😀
Where is the sound ?
Glenda Skipper Hmmm, no issues from my devices. Are you still having issues? ☺️
Square confetti? It's my death.
I totally get that, Sarah! I love it, but I realize that's a very personal (and perhaps strange) quirk! LOL!
