Yep! I have ruined a canvas. It was a fairly large one, 40X 70, and I went to unroll it, and then rerolled it the other way, and when I did that, the plastic on it, came off, and the glued part, of one whole corner stuck to my dining room table! Took the whole layers of my table off, sticking to the canvas!!! And I tr8ed all the hacks I could find to take off the gloss and top layer of stain and nothing worked! I even tried lightly using my nail, to see if gently I could just scrape it off the canvas..noped! So... yep..I had a ruined canvas!!! I was sick to my stomach over that . Vickie from SE Pa
@@vickielopresti5767 Was this a DSA kit or poured glue? I had no idea it would stick like that to a table! Thanks for sharing!!
It was a poured glue....
I ruined one that was cheap enough to toss. I had all the drills in a gallon size ziplock bag. I set the bag on the sticky, and the bag was stuck so hard it tore and left large areas of plastic on it. (Double sided adhesive)
@@sjtwxgirl Oof, that sucks. Thanks for sharing!!
I ruined a canvas - I was trying to iron the wrinkles out of it. I accidentally left the hot iron sitting on it - the canvas had a big melted section in it. There was no saving it after that. Fortunately, the shop was very good about it and sent me a replacement kit.
Good to know they sent you a replacement! Thanks for sharing!!
Working and lurking. Hey!!!
Great video! I can’t wait to see that one done! It’s so cute.
@@ruthforget253 Soon, hopefully! Thanks for watching!!
So, my sister's husband sat one of those thin plastic grocery bags on her uncovered canvas. I have gotten paper and other things off the adhesive by doing the various things I've learned on line, but nothing worked. So, since she couldn't see the symbols, DAC graciously sent me an image of the section we needed. We put adhesive on top of the thin plastic that was stuck on the canvas, then put the drills on it that way. Worked like a charm. Thank goodness DAC was kind enough to send over the image of the part of the canvas so we could improvise!
@@julieserres9713 Wow, that’s quite the journey to save the canvas! I would have thought plastic would peel off relatively easily. Thanks for sharing!!
Can't say I completely ruined a painting but i accidentally sealed a painting with a matt finish and it looked awful. I used a moist rag and got off as much as i could - I still have it displayed on a shelf but i learned a big lesson with that. I don't seal most of my paintings but occasionally I'll seal one and mount it on a canvas or board. I was nodding my head along with you when you were talking about retirement stuff. I worked for the school district for awhile and when we moved I didn't pull the money like I had done before(husband wanted it for some reason). So it sat for quite a few years. When I couldn't work anymore because of my back ( I was 63 at the time), I was struggling with money issues and remembered that retirement money. I called and got it sent out. It was enough to pay off my car which was a godsend. I had been divorced for 10+ years at the time and still think about if I had kept the other one instead of pulling it, how much better my life would have been after the divorce. Ah well. Anyone who has a retirement account, even a small one, DON'T let anyone talk you into cashing it out early. I learned a lot of hard money lessons when I got divorced. May sound selfish, but please think of the what if's. I never thought I'd get divorced after almost 30 years. If I'd known I would have been more pro active about my retirement future. I'm fine now but it was a struggle for a few years.
@@katpraeuner9794 Retirement feels like forever away, until it isn’t! Thanks for watching!!
Yes, ive had to throw one canvas away. It was, at the time the biggest one i had done, a 40x70 cm, and there was alot of different but similar shades of blue in it. I got the colors mixed up and it stressed me out to the point that i just threw the whole thing away. I bought another one just to prove to myself that i could finish it, which i did. At the time, it was a nightmare
Oof, mixing up the colors does sound like a nightmare. Thanks for sharing!!
I have only had one kit I threw away. My ex roommate let her grandchildren get into my craft bag. I came home to find the kids dumped most of my drills all over the floor, so she swept them up and put it in the garbage that then got her coffee grounds over them.
Two days later, I was waiting for replacement drills to come in the mail, and came home another day to find that the kids went into my room again. This time they took the release papers off and folded the canvas in half glue together. I was about 1/3 done with the painting, but just decided to toss it. I put the replacement drills in my stash.
I didn't get any more crafts of any kind until after I moved out a month later. The only saving grace in that whole thing was it was a kit I got off of Amazon ( was still new to the art) and only paid about $10 for the kit to begin with.
@@kathleenbalentine4003 Yikes! That sounds frustrating for sure! Thanks for sharing!
I ruined a basically completed painting. It was one with an all pink background and I just didn't want to do all that background, so I got the idea to use glitter and mix in with sealer to cover it. It took so much of the sealer and glitter to cover enough for the symbols to not show that the canvas was super stiff. It turned out so awful and there isn't anyway to remove the glitter mess.
Question for anybody/everyone what do you find works best for poor stickiness?
I started out using the dryer sheets and then found the static guard works better for me!
@@The_NZ_Crafty Same! Thanks for watching!!
Where did you buy it i live in Australia and don’t know where it buy from
Diamond Painting Anonymous, nice content I really liked it
I had a canvas that cost about $100 but I ordered from Diamond painting company in Portugal called Melles diamond painting. Since it had go through customs they removed the plastic cover from the box so when I received the notification about it being out for delivery. It decided to downpour before I get home and bring it in the house. By the time I got home to it noticed the box was soaked and bit dirty but I figured no biggie just let dry. Nope. The next morning I noticed the canvas was still soaked and dirt on from where it fell during the storm. I was pissed and devastated by it. But luckily the owner was nice enough to resend me the canvas. I have placed two more orders in the past month due the customer service and just how nice the owner was to me.
@@brittwas1 Good that you were able to get a replacement! Thanks for watching!!
Ruined camp ~ budget canvas ~ tried to flatten and get wrinkles out. Iron was too hot and distorted it 😂 BUT, I still apply drills to it periodically. It’s squares, gappy, 24 colors, and 50x60. I figure when it’s completed, it’ll look good from across the street 🤣🤣🤣 it’s of 3 nutcrackers.
@@graylagran7443 I’ve seen people iron creases out, but I’ve never tried it myself. I’m surprised you kept it! 😂
I have thrown one painting away because I just couldn’t read the symbols. I bought the same picture from another company (it was much better) and intended to try to figure out the original but the rendering was quite different. I figured there were more paintings deserving of my time.
@@ChristinePhethean Thanks for sharing!!
I dropped my storage on my canvas once. A large section of glue and symbols came off when I worked to get the container unstuck. It sucked.
@@tammykirby6926 Oh, ouch! Were you able to finish the kit or did you have to trash it?
I threw away a large canvas that had almost no stick and was around 200 colors, I couldn’t read the symbols on the canvas, it had no legend and the canvas was a burlap texture. The drills kept popping so I would roll a section and then seal it. I hated it
@@teresakooser5695 Oof, that sounds like a nightmare. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Daphne, I'm curious, do you have your house on the market yet? Have you had anyone come to look at it? It sure seems like you guys have been planning this for a long time.
Yes, and yes. We have! Thanks for watching!!
PSA - Do *not* charge a battery that has literally started bulging.
@@morrigan908 Very true! Thanks for watching!!
Dear Lord… welcome to our life!! 😂 Love your videos! Thanks for your tips! 👍
@@kaygerl9766 Thanks for watching!!
Hello!!! Thanks for all the info.
@@jackiejones9080 Thanks for watching!!
Not sure if I ruined a diamond painting but the experience felt like it to me. Started a large Diamond Art Club square kit and all was well along one side and along the top and bottom. Turned the canvas to the other side and experienced so much gapping that after multiple days I had enough.
@@DonnaBanks-em8qs Been there! Thanks for watching!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous thanks for your feedback.
I ruined a canvas a couple of weeks ago. I set a notepad on top of the glued surface and it was stuck. I tried scraping it off and that did not work. I ended up trashing it and re-purchased the same one from DAC. It was an expensive lesson. 😫
@@kimmid.3174 Ouch! Thanks for sharing!!
It was a lovely video Daphne. I abandoned one diamond painting because it had missing colours. I did accidentally cut through a diamond painting. I did use sticky tape on it, and it was fine. 😊
@@AnnabellaRedwood Good to know! Thanks for sharing!!
I had some small budget canvas' that would not relax not matter what I did. At my wits end, I gave in and decided to try ironing one extremely gently. Well, because I was so frustrated I forgot to put anything between the canvas and the iron. Lesson learned! Luckily it was a canvas I wasn't in love with so there wasn't too much of a loss.
@@irvagirl Thanks for sharing!
Thats why I love the release papers so I for sure know if it is covered.😌 yikes.
Getting closer to the move, very exciting 😊but sorry for the series of unfortunate break events… have a nice week Daphne ✨✨
@@0523SHARON Thanks for watching!
I’ve never ruined a canvas thank goodness. The only thing I can think of that would ruin a canvas is spilling something oily on it.
@@jessdiamondpaints I haven’t ruined one yet, but you never know! 😂 Thanks for watching!!
I've just ordered some of spanglers work after watching your videos. They are super cute and I can't wait to get started. It's my first diamond art craft purchase so I'm super excited 😄
@@StaceySummerson They are cute! Thanks for watching!!
I’ve cut through a canvas slightly, just taped on the back. The drills covered any little bit of white that shows. No problem. Never ruined one though.
@@Jeaniefulp Thanks for sharing!!
I did that too, but I put my work on frames so i did not got that upset. 😅
Since you talked about the static guard recently I've decided to finally try it. Dryer sheets, the freezer and blowing into the bag were all useful until they weren't! My last kit-up was horrible because of the amount of static. I would have moved on to the static guard sooner but I was dreading the smell. Turns out there are indeed unscented versions so I'm off to ordering one of those! Thanks, Daphne.🙏🏼
@@sylviakanel9766 I actually have scented static guard, but it (so far) hasn’t bothered me. Perhaps because you don’t have to handle it directly like you would with dryer sheets?
@DiamondPaintingAnonymous
Sounds good. Thanks! 🙏🏼
I have tossed two canvases since I started DP'ing. The first was when I was a newbie and as I was working on the canvas, I knew that the flowers were not the right color, but I just kept on going hoping it would turn out in the end. It did not. My pink and deep rose flowers were brown and rust. It was so ugly. Tossed it. The second one was a gift from my granddaughter who is an artist. She had done a magnificent illustration of my two dogs, but it was small, and I mentioned I wished it was larger. She ordered it as a custom for me, but the company she ordered from was not good and they eliminated all the detail of her original artwork. I got a few sections into it and knew it wasn't going to work. So, I tossed it and sent her original work to a better company (unbeknownst to her) and completed that canvas which hangs in my husband's office. She loved how it turned out, as did I, and she never knew what had happened. So, I guess the canvases were ruined, but not by anything I had done. I have cut into a canvas once, I had to reattached glue to a canvas, but I was able to complete both.
@@susandoty8241 Glad you were able to redo the custom! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Susan - was it a budget kit of peonies? I’m working on that now and it isn’t coming out pink but more like red and brown.
@@DRay6042 OMG, yes, it was. I had forgotten since it was about four years ago when I had just started DP'ing. Oh, no. I can't believe they haven't fixed it after all this time.
@@susandoty8241 guess not. Another coincidence, I just started DP in July. This is my 7th kit (all small or partial). About halfway through I thought about tossing it and saving the remaining drills. Curiosity won out and I could be finishing it today.
I accidentally cut a slit in a project that was a gift! I was using the seam ripper. I was able to tape the back and place the drills on the front. Came out fine. I am more careful now!
