    I find BluTak a great replacement for the pink cement stuff, one dab lasted for about a week!

      @tinyworldsofwonder  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi, Rebecca!! That is awesome! I like the BluTak okay, but I find that I am so messy that I get little bits of it stuck to my canvas. I know that is not common, but apparently I have a problem with my technique when it comes to the Blu. LOL! I think if we find something we love to use, that is super important, so I'm glad you found what you love! :)

    my light pad is my #1, but i recently bought an exercise ball to sit at my desk while i diamond paint and i love it so much, i never would go back to sitting in a regular chair. mostly because i like bouncing on it LOL but also it sits me at just the right height and angle where i can go for hours without anything starting to hurt

    I've done several kits so far, and I just want to say, This is my first time looking to the wider world for others who do diamond painting as well. I appreciate your videos and I will be looking through them all. I have a light up pen That I find really helps as I have a dark apartment. When the sun goes down, it makes a big difference compared to just my lamp. I will be looking into the LED board now too.

    My #1 has to be my light pad, followed closely by my PaddyWaxx; both types. I have a medium and a large hand held row straighteners that I use to start my first rows up against, that otherwise; the rows would be all wonky. Then use them about every 5 rows or so to straighten up the drills to make it look better. Other than that, I have a table that the top flips up or down that I keep all my extra accessories on; so that my work space is just my easel, diamond painting and light board. I don't like to feel all crammed in with stuff in my work area. Loved your video.

    I'm new to diamond painting and am wondering about the size of the light pad. If I'm doing a larger (11x14) painting, is it much easier to have the A3 light pad as opposed to the A4 (which is much less expensive), or is it easy enough to move the larger canvas around on the smaller light pad?

    • @tinyworldsofwonder
      @tinyworldsofwonder  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Excellent question! I have been making do with the A4 for years, but if I had it to do over again and I had the funds available, the larger one would definitely be easier to work with. I can move my canvas around, but I sometimes have to get quite creative with binder clips to make that work! :)

    I basically have or have on order everything on your list. One thing that I find extremely helpful, that wasn't on your list, is a good storage system for loose drills. I recently started using the Darice (Elizabeth Ward) storage system and love it! The containers hold quite a bit of drills depending on which size you have and they stay closed well. I had some smaller pop open containers that don't always stay closed so this was huge because I have curious kitties that like to "help" me diamond paint.

    Never done this before though I have done cross stitch and a great many other crafts. Wondering about the pen you recommended. With no experience I am wondering what you would recommend in regards to the options he offers. Three or four bump and what you would recommend for the second tip. He has many options, three placer, 6 placer, 9 placer, 3 straightener, 6 straightener.....??? Looks like yours are 3 placer pen tip for the second tip. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

      Hi, Trystan! I love the three bump because too many ridges drive me a little nutty, and I feel like it fits my short-but-meaty hands pretty well. LOL! If you're going for one multi-placer tip and you're a new diamond painter, the 3 placer is the easiest and most versatile to master. Once you get the hang of this, moving to the six and nine placers is much easier. I hope that helps!

      Tiny Worlds of Wonder I agree with you on the boats. My3ddesigns is hit or miss in my experience of getting three trays and only one has worked for me so I'm done there. My problem is the drills not shaking well with too many pooling in the bottom or side. That's the problem I've had with Archer Arts. My3ddesigns isn't smooth enough. It's super frustrating but at least I ended up with ONE boat I like using lol.

      Hi there! I have the 8 1/2 by 11, and I find it works well for canvases up to about 60 cm with some repositioning. If you're routinely doing big canvases and your budget allows, I would definitely recommend going larger. In fact, I would go as big as your budget allows either way! ;)

    @darkgirl83 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    thank you! Would you suggest anything similar to Paddywaxx? I'm from Italy and the shipping fees are much more expensive than the wax itself (I don't want to make a big purchase right now since I don't know the product and if I will use it in the future). At the moment I use Patafix, which should be similar to the BluTak someone talked about in the comments, just from another brand that's easier to find here in Italy, and I like it much more than the hideous pink wax from the kit :D
    I bought two A3 lightpads (one for me and one for my mother, who's addicted to DP too!) from a chain store called Action here in Italy, they are cheap (20€ each) and work wonderfully!
    About trays: I am in love with a very simple white medium one that came with a kit. I have a larger one but I find it difficult to align the drills into rows with it. I bought another tray, but purple-colored because I hate using the white one when I work with white drills, I can't see them and it's so frustrating...
    I have to experiment with pens as well. I bought a LED one from Aliexpress and I HATED it, I found it totally useless since it doesn't light the exact point but just the whereabouts. The lightpad is so much better for me. I prefer a cheap acrylic pen, from Aliexpress as well, that I use with the stainless steel placer and multiplacer (I love the 5 one, it's a good compromise between the 3 and the bigger ones). I also use the tiny pens from the kits, but with the soft foamy cap that make them much more comfortable.

It might be worth checking? I have also heard of people using a product called "Quake Hold" putty or the adhesive dots used in paper crafting, but I haven't tried either myself. Blu tack is the next best thing in my experience! :) (I wonder if it would be possible to scent it yourself?)

Working on an easel, as you get to the bottom of the canvas, lower the chair so you don’t have to bend over the work so much. Your neck, back and shoulders will thank you! Go to an office supply store and try some out-don’t just buy online without knowing if it is comfortable for you.
