I am just starting out and the storage kit that came with my first painting is similar to those travel medication containers. I don’t like how the tops pop open as I can imagine it popping open on one filled to the brim with diamonds and having them scattered all over. I am ordering the bag that you demonstrated.
Welcome to the craft! That's cool that your kit came with a storage system! But yeah, sometimes the items that come free with kits aren't the best quality! I think this is a great option with the screw tops! Let me know how you like it!
Houston here. I’m new also and loving it!! It’s very relaxing. I’m a senior an have hooked my friends also. My question is on a bookmark I did is beautiful but it’s still sticky so with the extra gems I filled it in and it looks fabulous. But how to make an area not sticky. Is that a thing??? Appreciate a response.
I’m also new to this art. Since the colors will vary from kit to kit, company to company how do you store leftover drills when you finish the project? I like watching your channel. Thanks for all the info
Different kits come with different colors. The diamonds follow a DMC color chart so in theory kits from different companies could include the same color. But I have heard there is a little variance in dye color of different batches.
No! If you're working on multiple at once then you might want to. But otherwise you can just take out all the old diamonds when you're done and then replace them with the diamonds from the new kit.
I just bought 2 of these one for myself and one for my daughter and Granddaughter to have at their house. We are just beginners
Yay! I think it'll make the process a lot easier!

Glad you're loving it! You can use a sealant once you're done

Are the colors of the diamonds universal in the kits no matter what brand?

Hi! Are all diamond painting diamond colors universal?
Most of them use the DMC color chart. I believe there can be slight variations in color from different dye lots though
Do you have to buy a new storage case for each diamond painting?
No! If you're working on multiple at once then you might want to. But otherwise you can just take out all the old diamonds when you're done and then replace them with the diamonds from the new kit.
You can probably straighten the funnel with a warm hairdryer…just a thought
Great idea! Thanks for that :)
Or soak it in hot water
