I am with you on the tool kit thing. If companies like DAC must include the kits, they should include a prepaid envelope so we can send them back. I love this craft but I really feel guilty about all the plastic waste it generates.
Same!!! That’s why I try to save and reuse my leftover drills!
I use "boats" when I work with many colours. I have cut the little top of , so its easier to empty and I write the symbol on boat. And pens... if You know plastic straws are now forbitten here in Europe. we have only straws made of paper or metal... European Union is gracy whith absurt direktivs! Well, they are little short but they work ;)
I make my own paintings of my favorite pictures with doublesided tape, so I can use all left over diamonts. Black 310 is oversupply colour.
Hope You understood, I'm from Finland, not native english speaker, so my english...
Donate to the thrift store. Someone will absolutely love them
For me it's gotta be the glue that goes outside the drill area of the painting.
Ooh, yes - super annoying to keep laying your arm on it or having to use double washi to cover it!
Agree😊😊😊
I hate the skater glue (everything slides) and the Venus fly trap glue (once the drill lightly taps the canvas it's stuck).
I've started putting the things I like in my cart. Then I can go to my cart and delete the ones that I don't want after all!
I do that too!
What a good idea - that never occurred to me! 😂 Thanks for sharing!!
Yep! That's exactly what I do, as well!
Same haha!
Saaaame!
Number 4 is my pet peeve also. I had at least a hundred of those accessories at one time.
Usually, even on websites that aren't designed to open web pages on a new tab, you can force it by right-clicking and choosing the "Open in New Tab" option. (On mobile devices, you should be able to press and hold, and the context menu will popup with that option.)
Thank you I did not know this but will give it a try!!
This is what I do, and it doesn’t work with some websites. I’m forced to left click on the item to look at any details, and then I have to start from the beginning again if I want to go back and look at other items. Thanks for watching!!
When you go to a store that sells DP’s & you ask where they are and you get a blank look & they say I don’t know what you are talking about. You know someone stocked them!! It has been around long enough that people should know what dp is
I avoid talking to store workers so I’ve not had that happen. 😂 But I can imagine!!
Agree 100%
Because the person you talked to is not a stocker. I once called a craft store to ask about embroidery floss. The person that answered the phone was new and said I don't think we sell embrodered floss. I heard someone in the background say hand me the phone. They said they did sell exactly what I was looking for and said the new person would get a tour of the store.
I'm just a customer, but, sometimes I know the store better than the employees.🤔🤨
One thing that bugs me is when a pre-cut sticker sheet is provided (love that) but the labels are so wide that I have to cut them still to fit on my bottles. And totally with you on the pen tips!!
Yep, absolutely love having the pre cut stickers but having to cut them down is annoying! Thanks for sharing!
I agree that some of the websites are super frustrating to navigate.
I think they could offer the tool kits for a nominal fee. I started with a Diamond Dotz kit, which has a better tray, and then I discovered the green trays😮
I do rotate my canvases.
I find that the custom trays do not work well with rhinestones. They get stuck in the grooves. I am currently working on a rhinstone canvas.
The rhinestones are slightly larger than regular drills, I find. Thanks for watching!!
So agree with #4! And the tips. I bought a pen with metal tips. But the metal tips are thicker than the pink pens. So sometimes when I’m trying to place, it slightly moves another drill out of place. Maddening. But the biggest problem I have is being able to select the right size frame. If I have a 30x40cm canvas, I want a frame with a mat that will allow me to put the whole canvas in the frame, have the border and not cover up the painting. I just did a DiamondXpress painting and thought I bought the right size frame. But I had to cut the edges off and the mat won’t work with it. So I have this black wood frame and the painting really needs a mat to let it stand out. SO FRUSTRATING! So I measure just the Diamond drill part and it’s not a standard size. Will the mat cover part of it up?
I’m tempted to spend $120 on a mat cutting system, but I’m afraid I’ll make too many mistakes and waste even more money. 🙄
It can be very frustrating to frame, since the US uses inches and kits are typically in cm. I usually measure the drill field, then add 1/2" (1/4" for each side) to my measurements to order a frame. Custom sizes aren't cheap though, so yep, it's a bit of pain. Thanks for watching!!
Yep the symbols i aint kidding i got 50cm×140cm one and they but 1.S and 2.s thank god it way different colours.
Plus yea the tools kits are Annoying
Or when the symbol for #1 is 2, #2 is 3, etc. Why not just make #1 - 1, #2 -2, etc.? Thanks for sharing!!
Right click to open tab in background or new wind.. right click for options
This is what I prefer to do, but there are many websites where right clicking does not work to open a new tab. Thanks for watching!!
Inconsistent colors. I don't know how many colors I've tried to pair up only to find that they are not the same.
I've decided that I'm just going to bag everything up in baggies; if they don't match they'll simply get separate bags. But, still.😵
@@beverleybee1309 I’m too lazy to separate the colors and it makes way too many bags! 😂 Even within the same companies the drills can vary in shade from kit to kit. Thanks for watching!!
I hate it when l have a section on the canvas thats so faded out and l can't see the symbol.
Omg! I so agree on pen tips! I have so many tips that Idk what fits which pens. It’s frustrating. I end up just using the same pen & tip all the time.
Same!!
The only peeve that I have that you didn’t mention is when you order a canvas that says it is 30 x 40 cms, but the entire canvas is that size. Usually there is about 5 cms of border on each side. I just did a canvas that the drill field was the stated size, but only one side had a 5 cm border; the other sides were only 1 cm! (and this was NOT a budget company!). Those wee borders irked the heck out of me as I was trying to attach it to my light board up on its stand!
Oh, wow, I’ve not run into that before!! Thanks for sharing!!
My pet peeve is getting a diamond painting kit with the itty-bitty bags of 200 count drills. I just had two to kit up and that was annoying. I've become spoiled by the premium companies that provide drills in the heat-sealed trains or in mini Ziploc bags.
I don’t like the small drill bags either - it takes forever to open them all and kit up a project!! Thanks for sharing!!
Some budget kits have horrible adhesion. The wax on budget kits. Number of drills which you mentioned. Canvas that comes rolled but will not lay flat. Other than that, I love diamond painting.
Canvases that won't flatten are so hard to work with! Thanks for watching!!
I'm pretty new to DP, but 1 thing that is annoying is symbols that look VERY similar, e.g. the kit I'm working on now has a zero and the letter O...isn't that fun! Fortunately the colors are different enough to figure it out.
BTW: I love your channel. Thank you.
It is super frustrating - I need a microscope sometimes to see the difference between symbols! Thanks for watching!!
My diamond painting I am working on now is color coded with the symbols. It still is a little challenging at times.
Confusing symbols are the worst! Thanks for watching!!
I agree with all of these and I'm a newbie 😂😂
Where do you get the pen with that tip like that. Love your videos
The multiplacer is from Everlasting Tips on Etsy. Thanks for watching!!
I rotate a bit, but sometimes I just stand up to do some areas…. Just to get up off my butt 🤣🤣
Same!!
What are you using in your single-placer to get that awesome pop??
I use glue dots in my single placers. Love that pop!!
Me too!! I use Glue Dots as well but don’t consistently get a pop. But I think that might be due to weak adhesive on some of my kits.
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymousWhich glue dots do you use? The green dispenser, or the green and red box on the big A?
@@Eponagirl0810 I don’t have the box anymore, but I did order mine on Amazon.
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous Thanks for letting me know. I look forward to the clicking.😊
Hi Daphne, good afternoon from Southern California.
I have no problem with the Diamond paintings, it is finding a better way to store kits I have yet to work on. Since I spent 12 years working in Corragatee, I am looking for Coragated boxes I can put my unstarted kits in, and my WIPS. I have looked everywhere, but found nothing.
I just leave mine in the box until I’m ready to work on them!
They are still in their boxes, but they are everywhere high up in my walk-in-closet. I want them all in their organically boxes in larger on the floor. Hey, I live in Southern California. Enough said
❤😊
The triangles are ridiculous. Holy crow!
It does get kind of crazy!! Thanks for watching!!
Afternoon hun
What is the name of this kit?
It is called Melody in Pink by Josephine Wall. There is a link to where I purchased it in the description box. Thanks for watching!!
Waste of time, money and ...
so its not for you. just admit that
I'm an easily triggered person. But nothing gets to me as when I keep putting away a color then find that I missed drills. Sometimes this happens multiple times for the same color andnit drives me bonkerssss 😂
Me too! It’s a struggle not to just keep reopening the bottle til I’m sure I got them all!!
Lol I get this all the time. I have OCD too and must finish this single drill right away xxx
Mine would be when the putty or wax gets on the canvas 😖😫
Yes! Thanks for watching!!
Yes!
I am pretty much a noob and just discovered the “delight” of putty on the canvas……. ye gad! That’s an experience I don’t wish to have often. 😫
@@chrisgreek4285 right?! It's awful
Yes!!!!
Yes, I agree about websites that don’t allow you to open tabs for shopping. I am also annoyed when a diamond painting website continually has pop up windows touting that someone “just purchased X kit” which is distracting and manipulative.
Ooh, yes - pop ups are sooo annoying!!
Drills flying all over the place.
Omgosh…. Yes…. I hate it when it’s Hard to see the letters & Symbols. I have a light pad & use reading glasses as well. 😳😳😳 Sharon in SC 16:59
I am in total agreement with each of the issues you highlighted. I also rotate my canvas since I work on an easel due to severe arthritis. I do a quarter turn as I move along. Not a problem for me either. But I would have to say the worst thing about diamond painting is the static!!! My office is in the front of the house and my husband's is in the rear. And he often hears me quasi scream and shriek, and he will yell out to me - "Static?" So, yes, that's my number one.
Static is so frustrating! Thanks for watching!!
You can cut up a small square of a dryer sheet and put it in your bottle or bag and it will reduce the static.
@@Lissersmom1 thanks for responding, but I have tried every static remedy known to man, and none of them work all the time. I have come to Daphne's method of spraying Static Guard on a Q-tip and rubbing that in the staticky drills, but even that only works some of the time. My complaint was that there is static at all to deal with.
I always rotate my canvas
I thought everyone turned huge diamond paintings upside down. I also turn my containers upside down when my painting is upside-down. Yeah, and when they use very similar symbols, they group them in the same area of the canvas and keep them in the same color family. 1. Number symbols in non-numerical order. 2. Alphabet symbols in non- alphabetical order.
It makes sense to me to do it that way as well, but apparently not everyone does! Thanks for watching!!
Here's what I find annoying about diamond art. Why are all the projects weird sizes which makes it difficult to find frames?
@@vmiller735 Good question!!
I think u should note the size and buy a frame which matches the size, i always note the size b4 buying the painting.
@@sameeplays4208 Sometimes that can be a challenge when most diamond paintings are an even amount of cm, but frames here in the US are sold in inches. So it’s not always an exact match to the size of the painting, or you have to get a custom frame, which can be very expensive. Thanks for watching!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous ooh, didn't knew abt how frames were sold in the US, Glad to know! I buy frames and paintings from online so that's what i meant
❤ totally agree with all of that. Omg to green trays and pink pens are the worst thing about diamond painting. 💎
They are so tiny! Thanks for watching!!
Lousy adhesive on the canvas. Drills that stick to the pen while trying to place them on the canvas. Gapping.
Firstly I love your videos a lot. My biggest annoyance is when you spend more time removing trash drills from your tray than painting. I had a kit from a well known company to find at least a quarter of the 310 was of really poor quality. Keep up the good work with your informative videos. X
Yes! I want to spend my time diamond painting, not sorting drills! Thanks for sharing!!
Omg Daphne you nailed it with the symbols! I recently messed up my painting because of that!
It’s easy to do if the symbols are confusing. Thanks for watching!!
I totally agree with 4 and 5!😊. Oh and restocks that sell out in less than an hour
Oh ouch. Thanks for watching!!
I got my first DAC with the perforated cover sheet, which is a good idea, however, the cover sheet is slightly tilted. So as I work my way across a row, suddenly there is a cover sheet crossing the row I'm working on. It's just a minor thing, but I'm over halfway done and it's really starting to annoy me, I have to lift the cover sheet to get the drills under it, to stay on the row, lol. Oh and sometimes when I separate the section of the cover sheet, it tears and I'm left with some of the cover crossing a row, and then I have to try to cut it off, which is not as easy as you would think. I also agree about the symbols, lol, S and 5, especially when they are close, make my cats look at me because I'm growling at what I working on as I have to pick up drills I've put in the wrong place, lol.
C/O, R/P - there are so many times that I’ve gone cross-eyed trying to see the difference! I’ve not done a DAC with the new perforated cover yet - I can see how that would be annoying. Thanks for watching!!
I hate when the drills are " dusty ' I have to clean out the wax on my pen and re-fill it so often because it gets dirty and wont hold ( or pick up ) the drills.
The symbols irritate me too. Why can't they at least symbols we are more familiar with ie: capitol/lower case alphabet, numbers, and maybe KEYBOARD symbols (+×÷=/- < >[ ]!@#$%&*^~{ }€£¥₩♤♡◇♧☆).
True! Thanks for watching!!
Hello, I’m your 287th Thumbs up. I’m New here watching & joining your TH-cam Channel/family. I’m New to Diamond Painting & just finishing my first big canvas, I started small with Magnets & Stickers. How do you seal & frame yours? Do you have videos showing you doing the process? True about the extra pens and all in every kit, but that’s only good for your first diamond painting. I do the same thing is have my canvas in all different directions I need due to my space & easier placing. I’m still too New to understand about the codes. I know I’ll learn along the way. I’m sure they’ll change things down the road. I enjoy when you laugh. Great Share of information. Hoping to connect. Enjoy your Weekend. 😊😊😊Sharon in SC
I’m sure you’ll pick it up quickly. Welcome and thanks for watching!!
Hi Daphne, what bothers me the most is the symbols. I am working on DAC Golden Cocker Spaniel. There are two symbols ( so far) which are similar. One is the hastag and a Greek math symbol( think the for the Lincoln cars). They are so similar I have to use a magnetising glass to see the difference. Also similar symbols with close colors. Those are my issues.
Does the Pet one have to be a new one?
It does need to be a new start.
Non optional tool kits are extremely annoying for me
I don't have time to donate things and all this waste just drives me crazy every time. Even coverminders and washi. I mean how much of those do we actually need?
Would definitely love to skip all the extras I end up donating/trashing. Thanks for sharing!!
I'm very new to D P, i enjoy your videos. Can you please tell me what are your floral covers & where do you get them from. 🐥🏴
They are cover sheets/release papers that I made myself.
I’m new to diamond painting. Why does your canvas make that satisfying sound when you add a diamond. I bought one from diamond art club & it doesn’t make that noise 😕
@@izzyxd1011 It’s because I use glue dots in my pen rather than the pink wax. Thanks for watching!!
Pen tip issue. I found out from most of the well known custom pen turners, you have to specify in the notes of your custom order to make them in the DAC tip size. I agree with the rest.
Oh, good to know!!
Just an FYI for everyone shimmering canvases she sells Diamond painting pens and also gives the option to have them converted to either DAC screw-on tips or Amazon screw-on tips for an extra $2 I do believe don't quote me on that I recently ordered one and screwed in my DAC tip and it worked perfectly
Oh, good to know!! Thanks for watching!!
If you ever want to donate anything to a school please let me know how much it would be to ship, I am a middle school teacher in inner city Oakland
I am on a break from it. I got burned out. I will feturn to it eventually
I think your top 5 pretty much sums it up..I do hate when symbols are confusing. I totally agree with the website issue, it makes it very difficult to shop..❤❤❤
Confusing symbols are the worst! Thanks for watching!!
I wish ALL the DP kit makers started with numbers first. Like 1 thru 8 were for the same symbol 1 thru 8.
I wonder how they decide? And why change the DMC associated with a symbol? Why not the same every time?
I have a smaller light pad so I rotate my painting as I go. Sometimes it is sideways, sometimes upside down, it works for me. If you hold down CTRL when you click on something, it opens in a new tab.
I'll have to see if that tricks works on Mac! Thanks for watching!!
The colors are so close. even if they have different letters. I have 3 colors almost the same (J,K,H)
Ugh, yes!
When you see on TH-cam someone got on sale DP’s (hobby lobby chain stores) you travel 1 1/2 miles & your HL does NOT have them on sale. You talk to a manager & they say we don’t have the sale sheet yet so keep checking back. Sorry
Oh ugh, that would be annoying!!
I have to travel 1/2 hour each way to all 3 Hobby Lobbys. None are close. Mine haven’t started marking down the latest items I’ve seen on TH-cam videos.
Do you ever cut the legend out and clip it to the middle of the painting rather than having to peek at it when there is no space?is it a good idea?
I don’t use the legend. Once I’ve kitted up my drills, I paint using the symbols, so I don’t need to refer to the legend. But if space is limited and you needed to, I can’t see why it would matter.
Great video and all valid annoyances!!!
Thanks for watching!!
I hit pause before you began and made my list. I will add to the Facebook group after you post this video there.
Awesome! I’ll be interested to see what’s on it!
It’s annoying when the symbols are next to each other are C O B 8
Yes! So hard to tell them apart when they are tiny!!
I rotate also I hate when I run out of drills
Same!! Thanks for watching!!
I find Ab's annoying 😂 I hate placing them.
I was pulling my hair out the first time I encountered them in a kit! I had no idea why they kept pulling the wax out of my pen!!
Hi, newbie here. Does anyone work on multiple at the same time or wait until one is done before moving to the next?
Lots of painters work on multiple kits at once. I try, but I usually concentrate on one at a time! Thanks for watching!!
I have a rule here for myself and my grandkids…OCD I guess. one Diamond painting at a time for each of us. My 4 year old grandson just finished his first sticker that he did by himself. Mind you that it is a harder challenge for him because he is left handed. I do have a large cross stitch project going also.
Mine is when you spill the drills and the glue on the outside then the drills get stuck there wlso when the drills get to be 2 diffrent folors in the smae bag and ur just trying to figure out wich is the right color.
Ooh, yes! Thanks for sharing!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous yw ty for replying!
Can you ctrl+click on a pc? Thats how I do it.
@@powellfamily249 Probably. I didn’t know that trick!
I do it all the time. LOL
This ia very informative 😍😍😍😍 great tips!!
Thanks for watching!!
Hear me out. Support circles. They are so annoying. For example, all MAKE canvases have those white support circles. They show highly on round kits and if your even try fixing the drills that support circle will show
Oof, guide circles are so annoying!! Thanks for watching!!
@@DiamondPaintingAnonymous Btw I just subscribed after. Great content!
@@Luci_DuckDad Thank you!!
The little ziplock bags. I hate those.
Oooh, yes. Baggies are a nope for me too!!
oh yes those symbols
🌹🌹❤️❤️🦘🐨
I am also a tab girl, with sites that won't let me add things to my cart then weed it out from there into "save for later", "delete" and "hit my credit card". 😹
dp has saved me. i would love to get a dimond art club panting but the chost is just to much, sadly prising of kitts anoy me.
Thought of one as I’m working on my Diamond painting and binge watching your videos. When the symbol on the painting is a number but it’s not the same number as the number the drill is if that makes sense. Like on this painting I’m doing, symbol 1 is also color 1, symbol 2 is color 2, so you’d think symbol 3 would be color 3 right?? Nope, symbol 3 is color 27. It’s probably just me that finds it annoying but still. It’s a dac painting. I’m still gonna enjoy working on it!!
I know exactly what you mean! Yes, so annoying!
I normally start with my paintings upside down too. I also don't have much space to work in and also keep most of my diamond painting accessories on the table too (most in a little 7 drawer thing I got from michaels) and the container with my drills in it. I don't like having the canvas in my lap and not sure how I feel about rolling it. The one I'm working on right now I did roll the part I have already put the drills on but I'm not sure how I feel about it. its nice having it out of the way but yeah! Almost finished with the painting I'm working on! Took a while because I took a break from diamond painting for a little while to work on a crochet blanket! The kit I'm doing right now is a mystery horror DAC by Christopher Lovell!
I’m lucky enough to be able to spread out for my crafting, though that may change when we move! Thanks for watching!!
I use a piece of washi tape when my tips doesn't fit correctly and it works wonders
I would love to be able to pick a size that shows the small parts [ like birds or flowers] cleaner
Hi Daphne. I had the kit from hell when kitting up on Saturday. They had tiny little bags instead if larger bags with four colours missing! Yikes. I wish that I could diamond paint with less pain. I use a lap tray that's got an easel. I love diamond painting but suffer with a lot of pain so I would do more if I could. Overall I love diamond painting. It gives me so much joy. It was a great video. ❤💕🌸
Oof, I hate the small bags - it takes forever to kit up! Thanks for watching!!
I am on a break from it. I got burned out. I will feturn to it eventually
You can force each thing to open in a new tab -- at least, you can in most Windows browsers. Right click on the link that takes you to the item page, then select "Open in New Tab". You can even open it in a new window if you choose. It's a lifesaver.
@@erindreams1790 That is how I usually do things, but there are a few sites where it doesn’t work. Thanks for watching!!
You can hold ctrl when you click the item and it will open in a new tab
Number 5 for sure. I don’t even waste my time on those sights with 3500 pages anymore. My number one gripe is gapping. Holy light pad batman, why is gapping even a thing? Grrrrr🤬
Great video! Loved it! You’re a great presenter and you state your position very well. I could make a top 5 list of annoying things TH-camrs do but you would not be on that list 😘😘🥰
😂 Good to know! Thanks for watching!!
Things like what kind of wax to use on the canvas and drills.
But anyhow we are addicted and LOVE DP 😄 I liked to know how many colours are there before I order a kit, but they newer tell me that.! I like large and challenging pictures. And one thing is why they tell the size of whole canvas, not the diamont area, Well, now I know it's alway 5 cm less, I started about 2 months ago.
Some companies do give the actual drill field size, but not all. Thanks for watching!!
I also have limited space on my work surface so I rotate my canvas. I agree it is annoying matching the symbols. Even when the canvas is right side up, it can be difficult. Example - a star or asterisk or dot. a 1 or l lower case L - not always clear depending on how small it is or the colors in the background.
Absolutely - and what is clear on the stickers can be tricky tell apart on the canvas! Thanks for watching!!
I just started doing my diamond painting but main two are one the diamond not getting picked up by the pen. And also me knocking over my tray of drills. Another one is finding diamonds everywhere. I can’t tell you how many I have waking up and gone to bathroom to find diamonds embedded on my arms and legs. Then I looking like how did not notice before or feel it. It like they be hiding or something.
I can say do to my eye condition I can’t see much of anything from my left eye and right eye is better just so I don’t strain too much I ordered myself a magnifying glass to be able to see the canvas more easily and clearer.
Magnifying glasses can certainly help with seeing those tiny symbols! I think most diamond painters find drills in crazy places - I’ve found them in my bed before! 😂 Thanks for watching!!
My number 1 annoyance is not having enough drills in the kits. Sometimes I can find similar colours in my left overs from other kits which is sort of ok. I also rotate my kits if they are large and feel that this is the only way for me to do them. It's not for everyone but is for me x
Whatever works for you is great!!
Trying to find frames to fit larger canvases drives me crazy 🤪. PS…I always rotate my canvases and container lids to match. 😊
Rotating my lids to how I have my canvas oriented makes it so much less confusing! Thanks for watching!!
I think you are missing one diamond in your previous section. 5th row from the bottom and I think sign is a hand but it is hard to see because of the light reflection
I actually commented while watching and then you spotted it at the end of video :)
Tips frustrate me too! Whete is your multiplacer from in this video? I just ordered DAC tips
That multiplacer is from Everlasting Tips on Etsy - I love her tips for rounds! Thanks for watching!!
What annoys me most is not being able to choose the shape of the diamond drills that come in a kit.
Ooh, yes! Thanks for sharing!!
That’s so smart to put the drill container lid upside down when working upside down 💡
It doesn’t take much to confuse me! Thanks for watching!!
For your first annoyance, you can go to your browser settings and select “open links in new tab”
I’ll try that. Thanks for watching!!
You hit it all right on the nail....i put anything i like in my cart and then go back thru it and delete items..its a pain but works
I don’t know why I never thought of this! Thanks for watching!!
It seems ppl don't look at the pallets. 💙🌹
Oh man those triangles!!! 😱 I have my first JGS large master’s canvas coming soon- hopefully it won’t be too bad 😬
All the symbols can be overwhelming at first, but it gets better as you work. Thanks for watching!!
I am waiting for a huge JGS painting, and am getting slightly terrified about the symbols. 😬
I also rotate my canvas😊
