Nope! No way! Not for me! Lol! You sure do love a challenge. very informative for someone who would like to do an extremely large painting. 78 colors was my largest. Have fun😊
Very smart and intuitive way to organize the drills! Thank you! I have my first Josephine Wall in the mail. This saves me a lot of head ache as I haven't done diamond painting before.

I love the way you think! ‘Let’s put the spaceship with the vehicles’ 😂👍🏻 I’m never going to do a DP with this many colours, that’s for sure! I admire you for being able to do that (and liking the process)! Good luck!
Wow the amount of Drills 🤣 that was some kitting up Very Brave 😜 But the excitement begins with starting this Diamond painting. Enjoy 😉 . Have a Good week 🥰
That’s also a possibility - but that would slow me down so much. This way I can actually see them right in front of me and after getting used to them I can find them rather quickly
I tried to do that because I didn't want to spend money on any storage systen. But handling that many colours, opening a baggy, taking out a few drills (with Josephine Wall you can forget about multiplacers!), closing the baggy, over and over again, hundreds of times - the baggies are simply too flimsy for that. I very soon gave in and bought a sturdier system and never looked back.
Great system! Much more logical than my system! Thank you for sharing! By the way: I organize them by colour and try to keep similar symbols together, if they are of similar colour. Although my system is not quite as clear cut as yours, after a little while I know exactly where to find the right container. I use a case that can hold up to 260 bottles in 4 foam layers. That was a cheaper solution to buying several Elizabeth Ward trays (which I did later anyway, for the DAC kits that have fewer colours than the Josephine Wall kits by Diamond Painting Deutschland).
Hi Anja - it’s all about what works for you. I find it fascinating that we all have different systèmes - there is no right way - thanks for sharing your system.
You really inspired me. I have three DPD JWall kits and just told myself I will start one as soon as I finish my current WIP. It should take about 2 weeks to complete and then I’m diving in!! I have the big 420 bottle ArtDot suitcase so I’m good up go! I can’t wait for your updates! I’ll paint along with you❤
Wow! It is so interesting to see how many different ways there are to kit up/organize your drills according to what works best for each diamond painter. I prefer to work in numerical order cut your symbol categorization really makes sense. Can’t wait to see updates! 😊
I am now doing Picses By Josephine Wall and I have 260 colors. I used my Artdot containers and they're working good for me. It's interesting because we seem to have organized our symbols very closely. Only I have a fairly large miscellaneous category😂😂. Good luck and I'll be nice in your progress.❤
Very helpful..Thanks for this video. I bought Earth Angel from The One with the Diamond Art, 225 colors poured glue. 100 x 130cm and I wasn't quit sure how to arrange symbols
Great idea on the organising to the symbols that work closely the same as each other. Looking forwards to seeing it come alive Plus I love them trays, My favourite get go ❤
I think you will have lots and lots of fun with this painting! there are so many pretty colours and I actually think round diamonds were the right call! 😊
Wow so many similar symbols and some very difficult. I generally do my paintings the same way. I like these containers, but I agree they take up too much room. I don’t like the little tic tacks boxes, but the bigger ones are ok. For bigger paintings I use the Art Dot draw systems because you can configure them up, down and side wise, but they are round bottles which is not ideal. I may mess with them and see if the square larger tic-tac containers will fit in the draws. That would be awesome i think. Have fun with the new paintings and I hope you enjoy the Josephine Wall journey. Peace and love abide with you 💕
I totally agree that they take up a lot of room - I need the entire dinner table to work on this one....the next one (yes I'm already thinking about that) will need to go in other containers - I like your idea
@LisetteCraftsandTells I'm about 3/4 done. But as I have a lot going on it is on pause since last year. But I'll definitely finish it when I feel it's the right time for me as the painting is fabulous. I even want to frame it when it's done ❤😊
Ooo that's brought back memories of soir De vivre I did you inspired me to get it and I loved doing it you finished yours before me it was the kitting down after the excitement of doing it some colours I only had a couple and some I had loads xx
Kitting up is fun for me. I've never done a kit with that many colors, though. How many Elizabeth Ward trays do you have? I just have 2 but I'm going to buy more so I can start working on more than one kit at a time. I really enjoy your videos, Lissette!
Wow! What a great system for so many colours! I love your idea! 😊
Thanks Clara 🥰
I love how big the symbols are on the stickers!
Yes, that's awesome
This is very helpful! I’ve never kitted up by symbols before. I always do in numerical order. This is a very good idea! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thanks so much - yes, I tend to do things a little differently
Nope! No way! Not for me! Lol! You sure do love a challenge. very informative for someone who would like to do an extremely large painting. 78 colors was my largest. Have fun😊
It was I couldn't believe the confetti you were sorting 30 colours for a 4x6 square loved it xx
Yes - it was insanity
Very smart and intuitive way to organize the drills! Thank you! I have my first Josephine Wall in the mail. This saves me a lot of head ache as I haven't done diamond painting before.
Thanks so much - which one have you ordered?
@@LisetteCraftsandTells Forest Friends. I'll do it slowly, as a "colour meditation"... I want to contemplate on the communion of all creatures... It's still in the mail - I look forward to receiving it this month.
I don’t know that one. From which company did you order?
@@LisetteCraftsandTells One with the Diamonds, I hope it's legitimate. Two women operate it from Britain. They don't mail to Continental Europe, but I'm in Canada, and they do serve Canada. Their stock is licensed.
It's called: The One With The Diamond Art.
I love the way you think! ‘Let’s put the spaceship with the vehicles’ 😂👍🏻
I’m never going to do a DP with this many colours, that’s for sure! I admire you for being able to do that (and liking the process)! Good luck!
Ha Ha Ha - yes, that's really how my mind works. Makes perfect sense - doesn't it? LOL
Wow the amount of Drills 🤣 that was some kitting up Very Brave 😜
But the excitement begins with starting this Diamond painting. Enjoy 😉 .
Have a Good week 🥰
Hi Gwyneth - I've already started and love working on her.
Fantastic organization Lisette! Have fun! ❤ from 🇨🇦
Thanks so much Susan - I'm already having fun. I've started working on her.
You have much more patience than I ! I would just leave the drills in the baggies so I could start right away!😊
That’s also a possibility - but that would slow me down so much. This way I can actually see them right in front of me and after getting used to them I can find them rather quickly

I very soon gave in and bought a sturdier system and never looked back.
Wow, that’s a lot of symbols that are similar. I would be mixing them up for sure. Good luck Lisette. 😉
Thanks so much Lisa - it will be okay

Hi Lisette! Love your organization system. It definitely makes sense to organize them this way. I can’t wait to see your progress🥰🥰
Thanks dear Sylvia
She is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see the finished piece.
Hi Annamaria I'm working on her and the first flamingo just revealed itself - it's stunning.
Oh man...those similar symbols would drive me batty. Good luck!!
Ha Ha Ha - I totally understand. Thanks dear Mindy
Great system. 😁
Thanks so much

Hi Diane - yes I'm following along - you're making great progress and it's a stunner
@@LisetteCraftsandTells Thank you 😊 ❤
Very cool organisation 😊. I have a j wall on the go at the moment and organized it by dmc. Next time I think I'll do by colour
Hi Carina - how far along are you and more importantly. - are you enjoying the process?
Wow! Some of those symbols are so similar. I like the way you organized them.
Thanks so much Linda
Hi Lisette, très belle organisation, c'est bien pratique pour mieux trouver ses symboles ♥ 🍫
Merci chère Katarina
Very helpful..Thanks for this video. I bought Earth Angel from The One with the Diamond Art, 225 colors poured glue. 100 x 130cm and I wasn't quit sure how to arrange symbols
I'm so glad that you found it helpful Barbara - good luck with Earth Angel
Great idea on the organising to the symbols that work closely the same as each other.
Looking forwards to seeing it come alive
Plus I love them trays, My favourite get go ❤
Thanks so much dear Angel
You made what I'm certain was a lot of work look very simple Lisette! Enjoy!
Thanks Debra - but it didn't take as long as I had anticipated.
I think you will have lots and lots of fun with this painting! there are so many pretty colours and I actually think round diamonds were the right call! 😊
I agree - the rounds work up faster as well - so that's another plus
@@LisetteCraftsandTells and since you "lost" your other round kit it will be nice to have something different in comparison to all your square kits :D

Oh boy! I can’t wait to watch this one!!!
Hi Marty - I've already started working on her.
I separated the colours reds yellows etc so I could just them xx
Interesting way to set it up! I still havent kitted up my JoWall from DPD.
Are you tempted to do so?
@@LisetteCraftsandTells Ill be doing it in November
@@JustSheilz Cool - will you keep me updated ? I would love to know how you like working on yours
@@LisetteCraftsandTells will do!
Ooo that's brought back memories of soir De vivre I did you inspired me to get it and I loved doing it you finished yours before me it was the kitting down after the excitement of doing it some colours I only had a couple and some I had loads xx
Hi Joyce - yes Joie de Vivre was fun wasn't it?
Great system....if you have the room...tfs
Hi Margie - yes, you definitely need room for this one
very helpful
Thanks so much Angela
❤❤❤
😍
Kitting up is fun for me. I've never done a kit with that many colors, though. How many Elizabeth Ward trays do you have? I just have 2 but I'm going to buy more so I can start working on more than one kit at a time. I really enjoy your videos, Lissette!
Thanks so much - I have 6 of them. 2 with only small containers en the other boxes are a combination of of three sizes.
@@LisetteCraftsandTells Sorry I misspelled your name. Only one s in Lisette. 🫣
Lisette, do you save your spares?
No, not anymore. A game changer
❤
nope! no way! lol! You sure do love to challenge yourself. Great information though for someone who would like to attempt the same. Good luck😊
Ha Ha Ha - I totally understand Cheryl
