I tried to show how they looked on my wall to the best of my ability at 36:10, but it’s in the stairwell and they’re on two different walls so I couldn’t get them all in one shot. Someone else asked about how I hung them and my husband did that so I’m going to ask him and probably post another video explaining what he did
@@graylagran7443 haha no problem. I’d rather you do that than forget to ask by waiting until the end. I’m planning to make a video showing how my husband mounted them on the wall, so I’ll try to get some good video of how they actually look all together in that
Thank you so much for sharing this method with us. It's much more cost effective than buying frames and lighter in weight to hang on the wall. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.😊
@@janicedunbar442 thank you so much! I’m so glad I was able to share a method that works well for others too. I hoped if it was something I was looking for, others might find it helpful too. Thanks again!
I use very much the same method, and it makes for a really nice presentation. I’m very appreciative of the information on the adhesives you use. They look easier than what I’ve been using. FYI - Instead of doing all of that measuring to figure out where to cut the board I just lay the finished painting flat on the foam core and push a pin through where the corners are going to be. For instance when I’m using 1/2” board I come in 5 rows on every side and mark where they intersect at the corners, insert pins to mark them, remove the painting, then reinsert the pins in the board to use as a guide to cut it. Make sure you mark which edge will be the top . It works perfectly every time, and I have found it to be more accurate since sometimes the canvases are not exactly square. Folding in the corners is much easier if you plan ahead and remove the drills from the canvas first. For instance, I remove a five by five drill square at each corner when I’m using 1/2” board.
@@ginasolomko417 this is genius!!! Thank you so much for the pin idea!!! I’ve been hoping to make another video with some new suggestions and would love to try and share this method if that’s okay! Thank you so much!!!
@@JoyOfStayingIn you are most welcome! I’m so glad you found it helpful. I actually made a second video explaining how we hung them, as we already had nails in the wall. It’s in my tips and tutorials playlist. Others have suggested command strips. Thanks again
I’ve mounted mine on a painting canvas. I paint the canvas with spray paint in any background colour you want. I cut the diamond painting to be in the centre of my canvas. I use a spray adhesive to glue the painting down. I also spray the painting with high gloss acrylic spray, it keeps the painting flexible.
@@lorrainetyerman4851 that sounds like a great idea. How do you get the right size canvas to use for all these oddly sized paintings? That was my main problem but I love your idea. Would love to see a picture of one
Thank you. I’ve been getting a lot of people asking that so I’m going to try to post a follow up soon explaining that part Thanks for letting me know you’d like to see that so I know to make a video 😁👍
New subbie here, just because I was blown away by how simple you explained this whole process. I am looking forward to watching more videos from you. TY!
That could look cool too! Good idea. I’ve never sealed a canvas and would like to avoid it on some but I’ve got some sealant to use if I ever find I really need to. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones, I'm curious to know why you don't want to seal your canvases after completion. And what circumstances would force you to do that. Thank you!
@@QuiltingMatilda I’ve “talked” to a bunch of people online who say it’s an unnecessary step, it’s simply not needed. Most of my canvases are diamond art club and they don’t recommend it, and personally, I worry that they will lose some of their sparkle if I do cover with a sealer. Especially with the special drills. I did just seal some coasters though and they seem to still look ok. I think, at this point, the only reason I would seal is if I have so many popping drills that I need to, in order to keep all the drills in place, and that it’s on a piece I want to keep and display. So far I haven’t had an issue with that though either. Or maybe if I notice that the ones on display are gathering dust in places I don’t want it, especially on rounds. I think I’d be more likely to seal a round kit for that reason. Only time will tell at this point. I have purchased sealers in the beginning of my diamond painting days, but haven’t used it yet. It’s good to have on hand just in case. Just my opinion, as of this moment in time. But I’m always learning. Thanks for the question
I watched my mother frame so many of her acrylic and watercolor paintings, this looks fairly easy for me... Thank you so much for giving me hints on dealing with corners..
GREAT demo on how you put your canvases on foam board & hang. I would love to try this. You make it look so easy…… 👍 Thanks again for sharing. Your completed birds look amazing!! Fantastic job! Now I need to gather the products to complete. Happy Diamond Painting! 💎
Thank you! I’ve only done 3 so far. I inserted pictures at the end of this video, and then I made a companion video about hanging them where I did put in some video of them on the wall. You can find that in my tips and tutorials playlists if you’re interested. I’m real happy how they turned out. I hope you are too
Thank you so much for doing these framing videos! I love the normal diamond art content, as I enjoy seeing what other people do, but I always wondered how to "finish" them. They seem to need customized framing, which is a fortune in and of itself, so seeing more cost-effective methods is has been completely missing for me. I love the way you have the drills going over to the sides! I did a DAC round kit on sale at hobby lobby that I did for my mom last year, and found out at the framing department they they could dry frame it, and so I did. It looks good, but I wish the sides weren't so bare. I never thought about wrapping them around! What hardware do you plan to use with the foam board canvases?
Thank you much for your comment. I was having the same issues which is why I worked to come up with this and am really happy how they turned out. I keep getting asked about how they were hung on the wall and I had my husband do that so I’m going to ask him and add another video showing that as I think it will be easier to explain that way. Thanks again!
Watched your video again. I love the idea and I keep practicing. My biggest hurdle is cutting the foam board. I guess my knife isn’t sharp enough! I will keep trying. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Yes, cutting the foam board can be a challenge. A good knife is a must. One time it wasn't working well for me, and I realized I didn't have enough of the blade extended. Once I corrected, that it worked. And I need to put quite a bit of pressure down to help it cut through too. I'm really glad I have the metal ruler to use as a straight edge, or my lines would be all over the place. Even with it I can make mistakes. Good luck! I hope it works out for you. Please let me know if it does! :-)
Thank you so much for the informative and easy to follow video. I finally got up the nerve to do my "Gnome for the Holidays". It turned out well. I learned what to improve on for the next pic. You did a wonderful job!
@@mysbhvn thanks so much! I’m so glad it worked for you! I have a bunch I want to do more like this but it’s so hard to find the time and space for it. I have a lot of big ones. Thanks again!
I have a couple more that I am waiting to do and they are both big pictures. Framing those can get so expensive and I think the way you do it makes them look just as nice.
@ thank you so much! That’s such a wonderful compliment. Yes: framing can be so expensive! That’s how I came up with this: I was looking for an economical alternative I could do myself. Plus, all the diamond paintings I want to “frame” are such odd shapes it’s super hard to find a frame or stretch bars that match. Thanks again. Love the messages
@Rubies_And_Moonstones I have a question. I had my canvas sitting on a table. I realized all the edges had lifted up off the double back tape??? Thoughts? Did I pull it too tight. I tried pressing it down again and it keeps popping up. Should I just tape it on the backside? Thanks for your thoughts :)
@ hmmm… 🤔 the sides that wrap around? I’m not sure why they lifted up. Pulling too tight could have done it but I’m not sure. I’m having that’ gradually happen on one of mine. I’m planning to go and staple the canvas onto the tape to hold it in place. So long as it’s on the back it shouldn’t matter how it looks. So you could try that or lay down fresh tape and try to push it down again and maybe weigh it down with books to really hold it in place for a while . I hope one of those works. I’ll keep thinking too. Sorry you’re having an issue
I found your framing tutorial very informative and useful. I am definitely going to try it. Could you please do a tutorial on how to hang it on a wall..tfs
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it helpful. And yes: I am planning to do a video on how we hung it on the wall so that will be coming soon. Hopefully sometime this week. Thanks for watching
My 2nd time watching this foam board method of yours. It makes perfect sense how to do it. I appreciate how easy you made the instructions in this video. TY!
Been hearing about diamond painting, and considered giving it a try. Been watching tutorials, and it looks like something I might really enjoy. I know I'd get discouraged if I got up to the end and didn't know how to finish it. Thank you for helping me build the confidence to go ahead and try it.
@@KelliHediger you are most welcome!!! There are a lot of ways to finish one and honestly I don’t display all of mine. It’s just about doing them. 🤷♀️ I definitely didn’t display my first ones (but they were small and cheap and not worth displaying), but they did help me realize how much I love diamond painting! How relaxing and enjoyable it is ArtDot has some really nice licensed kits that aren’t very expensive and they are all round (more on their website. I have links in my description box). Diamond Art Club is best for square drills but they are expensive and that’s an investment for “trying”. But they’re licensed and they have some smaller kits for less. I just hated my first square because it was from a cheap company and the drills were awful so they didn’t line up well. Now I love them because they’re from a good company Just suggesting: don’t spend too much to make sure you like it, but I am someone who promotes licensed artwork which is why I mention those two companies (especially artdot: I do have a post review of Sunflowers in Twilight). If you end up loving it, diamond art club is amazing and there’s a lot of other great companies like Jaded Gem Shop and Paint Gems (this one is a great way to try squares) Good luck! I hope you like it as much as I do
@@IndiaBradyArt my thoughts exactly! I was looking into so many other ways to frame it is so expensive!!!! This is a pretty economical way to DIY! And I love how they look. Thank you. I hope it works well for you too
@@cherylclaviter6398 thank You! The roll of adhesive seems to be working really well. And it’s also nice how much adhesive is on that roll and you can cut it down to whatever size you need. I hope you have good luck with it. Thanks again
@@GiGi-to-Three thank you so much! Thanks for subscribing! I hope you continue to enjoy my content. And welcome to Diamond Art!!! I absolutely love this hobby and cannot get enough
Thanks so much for your great tutorial! The paintings you did really suit this style of mounting and will look great displayed on your wall. I feel confident I could tackle this!
That’s awesome! It really wasn’t that hard. It was just coming up with the process and taking the time to do it. I am really happy how they turned out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for showing this great idea for hanging DP’s. Frames are so expensive. I like the idea of using the large sheets of double sided tape. Thank you for linking all the supplies, that really helps. Just curious, how did you mount them on the wall? Love the birds also but I have so many DP’s in my stash that I don’t think I will be able to do all of them before I die, lol. Still waiting for Springbringer to come back in stock though, that one is too pretty to pass up. 😺
You know what? I’m going to ask my husband how he mounted them on the wall. I know there was this flat bracket thingy but don’t know the technical term. I’ll look into it and maybe even post a video. I think he glued them on too. I’ll check. Thanks for the good question and feedback
Oh my goodness! I absolutely love this idea! I've also been trying to find a cheap way to display my diamond paintings! I will definitely try it on some small cheap DP's that I've already finished. This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing! 😊 Subscribed!
@@prisolafson5045 thank you so much! I tried it out on one I was less concerned about first too. But I think it worked well and am happy with how they look. I need to do another one though that’s oddly shaped so we shall see how that goes. I plan to film that too for some new suggestions Thanks for the kind words and subscribing! Happy to have you
That is a great idea and the paintings look wonderful. The birds look terrific and was wondering what they were called as I have in mind to make one for a family member
@@BarbaraRothwell-z4c the artist is Richard Lorenz. He is licensed through Diamond Art club so you can find them there. If you do a search for his name all of the ones still available should pop up and there is a link to the ones in my video in the description box. I just love Richard Lorenz! He’s an amazing artist and these birds just make me so happy! I hope you can find one you want to do 😁
Great tutorial. Been wanting to try this and now, I’m ready to go!!! One question-why did you cover the board with the adhesive sheet, since you used the tape all around??
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful. I used the adhesive sheet stuff because I wanted to help sure the canvas would always lay flat on the board. If I just used the tape on the edges, with large paintings especially, I think the canvas could bubble out when hanging on the wall. Maybe it wouldn’t. 🤷♀️ I think it would be okay to just tape the edges on small pieces, but on the large ones, I think it’s important to have the back of the canvas really stick to the board so it won’t bubble off. Would be a good experiment though. Maybe I can try that with a less preferred painting and see what happens over time Good question. Thanks for asking
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones Thanks so much for clarifying. It seems a great idea, especially for the hefty ones-like you said. “Better to be safe than sorry “🤗🫤🤗I’m part of that gang too(most of the time) lol.
I saw someone use spray adhesive… I may look into that in the future too. I liked how this one wasn’t too sticky right away so I could reposition it though. I’ve seen some spray adhesive is the same way though. Thanks for the tip
Thank you for this video! It worked so well. I did alter by using Tackey Spray adhesive for the front of the foam to stick the painting too. Just in case anyone is wondering if that's an option. I just made sure to buy a spray adhesive that was okay to use on both paper and fabric. (Also best to spray adhesive outside).
@@Coffeecrazzii thank you so much! I’m so glad it worked for you. Could you send me a link to what you used? I keep planning to make another video and would love to share some of these ideas
@@Gramcrackers23 thank you! Yes, I actually think it went together pretty easy. I actually made a second video explaining how we hung these, and you can find that in my tips and tricks playlist. Others have suggested command strips though too but that’s not what we did for these Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have trouble finding that other video
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO! Thank you so much! I have subscribed (this is my first video) and will definitely be following you. I will definitely be doing this with some of my canvases. Would love to see your wall when you have canvases up. 🖼🖼🖼
Thanks for this video and sharing. Awesome idea and perfect idea. Will be using this method to mount some of the paintings I have done for gifts. Again thanks!
Thankyou so much for the video,got everything i needed to do this from amazon uk,and so happy how my first one turned out,it was Aria by Camilla d'Errico,will use command stripes to hang it,great video, thanks again 😊 .
@@bethwoods887 I actually made a second video about that. You can find it in my tips and tutorials playlist. I show how WE hung it, but others have suggested command strips could work too. And thank you! I hope you do try it! And let me know if you have any other questions!
This is amazing! Do you think you can show how you do it when you have to combine more than one piece of foam board? I have a few pieces that are really big so it will help lots!
Thank you! I certainly plan to. Unfortunately, I don’t have another piece done that needs to be framed this way. However, I am about to start one, so I plan to do a video on that when it’s finished. Hopefully that will be by the end of summer. Thanks again
I actually just posted a follow up video to show that since so many people asked. It’s in my “tips and tutorials” playlist. You could also probably use command strips. Thanks for watching and subscribing
Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to come up with a way to frame my paintings that won't break the bank, and this is perfect! How did you attach them to your wall?
You’re most welcome! Thanks for watching! And I actually made a second video showing how we hung them on our wall because we already had some screws/bolts there. But others have suggested just using command strips too and that could work. You can find the video I made showing how we hung them in my “Tips & Tutorials” playlist Thanks again
Great video! I have found some canvas boards for smaller paintings, but the bigger ones are odd sizes. I wondered what to do when the foam board bows. The release paper from the tape sheet could be used as release paper when you are diamond painting.
That’s a great idea! To refuse that paper!!! Hopefully I can keep my other foam boards from bowing but I think it works okay how I did that one. Looks good now anyway. And did you see how I taped that one together? I had to cut three pieces and tape them together to get the right size, and know I will have to do that for some larger ones in the future. (Like “Lost With You” is long and short: no board for that size) I think that should work fine, because once the canvas is wrapped it will continue to help hold them in place. And I taped both sides. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Love your ideas
@@marshah5930 I did. I didn’t want the words, so I purposefully took them out. I can’t do it on round kits but may do it on more square kits. We shall see. 🤷♀️
I have not, as I have never sealed a diamond painting, although I bought sealant early on thinking I would need to. I will be sealing some coasters so may do a video on that after I’ve practiced and I will do a video if I decide to seal, but so far it hasn’t seemed necessary so I haven’t done it.
I actually made a follow up video to explain this due to repeated questions. You can find it in my tips and tutorials playlist. Easier to explain that way Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it
The paintings look awesome that way and I would love to do mine like that but I’m not sure I have the strength in my hands anymore to cut the foam board😢 I used to work with plastic canvas and I made a 3 floor doll house using foam board between the walls of the house and it wasn’t very easy to cut the board back then. But I was only using an exacto knife which you know is the size of a pen. I’m guessing it’s alot easier to use a utility knife. I like the ruler that you use. I need a flat ruler to cut out the sections I work on the art. I section my work in square pieces using washi tape. Thank God for people like you posting vids cuz I almost gave up diamond art painting. It was more frustrating than relaxing for me and now it’s relaxing again. By not using a glass covered frame do you have problems with dust on the art and losing drills cuz the glue might dry out? Another thing I learned from peoples vids is size matters. I like landscapes and too busy or alot of confetti will make the art look crappy. My first 2 are throwaways to practice on for the good paintings I’ve been working on. Again thank you for the informative vids and I’m now subscribed to your channel as well
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. I’m glad you’re diamond painting again. I don’t know, but I wonder if using a really sharp utility knife and a straight edge like I did would make it easier for you. Couldn’t hurt to try. I’m not very strong myself, but I’m also not weak… I guess I’m average. So if I can do it… 🤷♀️ I haven’t been diamond painting very long, and these are the first I’m putting on my wall. Others have told me they don’t have problems with dust or losing drills so I’m hoping that’s the case. Although I did just find some dust on another WIP, but it was where some enhancement drills were not level. So I’m thinking if it’s level and hanging on the wall, it would be okay. I sure hope so. I love these birds and really want them to last. And yes! Size matters! Plus, the larger the size, the more drills to lay, which to me equals more fun. Thanks again for subscribing! And commenting. I see I have a lot of comments to look at from you and I’m really excited about it. Thank you so much
@@angelanorthcott8449 I actually made a second video to address this. It can be found in my tips and tutorials playlist. Thanks for asking and watching
Thanks A lot of people have been asking how I hang it on the wall, and my husband did that, so I’m going to be making a video to show that part, as I think that will be a lot easier to explain than through comments So stay tuned! I’ll try to get that up sooner than later
@@susancarpenter4392 I absolutely think you could seal it but I have not tested it however I do plan to as I have one that is round drills and now want to seal it. I don’t think the sealant would go through the canvas to affect the board. At least not the sealant I’ve used so far, which was ARTDOT’s. I plan to try more but haven’t yet. Sorry this is more a hypothesis but I really do think it would be okay or I wouldn’t plan on doing it to one of my Lorenz birds. And thank you verb much! Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for your tutorial. Great idea. I like sealing my pictures. I would do it after the framing. They looked great. Did you use double sided tape to hang on wall ?
@@tamyterrell2980 thanks! I’m thinking of starting to seal my paintings now too. We shall see. I actually made a separate video about how we hung these.

This video was so very helpful. I do have one question. How exactly do you hang it on the wall once it is mounted? It is foam board so Im not sure how you would hang it to display. Beautiful work by the way :)

When you taped your board together did you do it front and back? I have a lot of large canvases that I would need to make a bigger board. This is awesome video thank you. I am new to your channel
Yes! I taped both sides, and put down a few strips of tape. Wanted to try to make it as secure as possible. And mine actually weren’t “perfect” when they lined up next to each other. There was a small gap but I was able to make it so the outside part was flush and felt that was what was most important. I’m glad I had the chance to practice taping together because I have some coming up that are super awkward sizes and will need that for me to be able to do the same way of “framing” for them. Thanks so much for the compliment and for watching! Glad you found it helpful

I honestly can’t tell you with 100% certainty as I haven’t tried it and I haven’t even sealed a painting yet. However, if your sealant still allows the canvas to bend/roll a bit, I don’t see why not. It just needs to be able to go over the edges so if it can do that it should work.
Any ideas on some kind of flat decorative corner (like protectors ) you could stick on , or ones that would have enough depth & overlap for the thickness of the dry mount you could use to enhance the frame look ? I see a lot of stuff on Temu but will not buy from them .......
@@doublej4077 that’s a great idea but it could be hard to find one that would fit. 🤔 but I do wonder if you could find ones made for canvases that would work or some that are foldable so you could make them fit a variety of sizes. I don’t know. That’s a really great idea though and worth looking into. I know they make a lot for pictures so it’s all about finding the right size
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones: Well I placed an order on Amazon for a 20 piece vintage bronze corner protectors decorative metal edge covers etc and we will see how that does .

@@juliebecker4436 I have not sealed any of my diamond paintings yet. So the ones in these videos were not sealed. They are still holding together rather well. I am considering starting to seal paintings I want to display. I’m just not sure which product to use yet and plan to do a video where I compare them. But that probably won’t be for a little while still If I do decide to seal moving forward then I would go back and seal these mounted once, which would be after mounting. So I think you could do it either way; so long as the canvas is still a bit bendable after the sealant has been applied. Sorry I can’t be more help on that yet except to say I haven’t sealed any and so far I haven’t had issues Thanks for watching!

Now I’ve lost the info again. Under Moore it only gives you the option to look at the transcript. Amazon even threw away the role of tape that was in my cart.
@@trishwilliams3393 are you asking if I “seal” my painting first? I assume so, and I did not. It’s not something I’ve ever found an actual need to do. However, I think you could. I know there are a lot of sealants out there, so you’d just need to make sure it is one that still will allow your canvas to be able to roll/bend around those edges. If I ever do seal a painting, I’ll be sure to do a video. Thanks for asking.
Sorry if I’m commenting before you mention it in this video, but did you seal these diamond paintings? I’m just thinking about the need to dust them in the future, especially if they aren’t framed behind glass…I haven’t done a lot of diamond painting but I’m thinking that sealing most or all of them is best practice so the drills stay on. I LOVE all these crazy birds!
Thank you! I’m glad you ask questions while you think of them. I do mention at some point that I did not seal them. I haven’t sealed any yet. I’ve asked a lot of people and most say it’s really not necessary but if I run into one that starts to lose drills I’ll have to. When framing in this manner I think it’s important to not seal first so the canvas is still very bendable. If I were to seal, I’d do it after it’s on the canvas (I think: but like I said, I haven’t done it before on any of my paintings. And at least with square drills there aren’t cracks for dust. But the community seems to say dust isn’t an issue so.. 🤷♀️ in all honesty, I haven’t been diamond painting long enough to know myself, and these are the first I’m putting on my wall permanently so I’ll find out eventually. I did mica powder the extra glue on the edges to prevent the dust and stuff there though. I think I mention that too) Thanks again for asking and watching
That’s a very good point about waiting to seal it (if going that direction) until after mounting it. These are going to look so cool when you have them all displayed!
@@PDXMom there are so many they’re eventually going to take over the entire house! The idea was to put them in the stairwell but with 4 new releases in a month, I have a feeling I’m going to outgrow that space fast. 🤣
@@michaelacolorsandcreates4030 thanks for subscribing! I actually made a second video explaining how I did it. It’s in my tips and tutorials section. Others have suggested command strips. I may try that on small ones in the future but like the hangars we used since they are working so far. I plan to do another one soon of a really awkward size too
@@quomillachambers3101 I actually made a 2nd video to explain this due to everyone asking and me not thinking to include it. You can find it in my tips and tutorials playlist. It’s easier to explain in the video. Thanks
Please share pictures of your wall once mounted and what you use to hang them ❤
I tried to show how they looked on my wall to the best of my ability at 36:10, but it’s in the stairwell and they’re on two different walls so I couldn’t get them all in one shot.
Someone else asked about how I hung them and my husband did that so I’m going to ask him and probably post another video explaining what he did
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones you know, I asked to see before you showed the pictures. I always hit pause and comment when the thought pops in my head 😂
@@graylagran7443 haha no problem. I’d rather you do that than forget to ask by waiting until the end.
I’m planning to make a video showing how my husband mounted them on the wall, so I’ll try to get some good video of how they actually look all together in that
Did you seal the drills with something before you framed it??
@@krystleburgess1052 no I did not.
I may apply something to the corners if drills start to fall off but so far they are all still on there.
Thank you so much for sharing this method with us. It's much more cost effective than buying frames and lighter in weight to hang on the wall. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.😊
@@janicedunbar442 thank you so much! I’m so glad I was able to share a method that works well for others too. I hoped if it was something I was looking for, others might find it helpful too. Thanks again!
That looks really nice! And I love the birds! And yes it would be good to see how you hang them
Thank you! Yes: I’ll be doing a follow up video to show how I hang them. So keep your eye out for a video about that soon. Thanks for watching
I use very much the same method, and it makes for a really nice presentation. I’m very appreciative of the information on the adhesives you use. They look easier than what I’ve been using. FYI - Instead of doing all of that measuring to figure out where to cut the board I just lay the finished painting flat on the foam core and push a pin through where the corners are going to be. For instance when I’m using 1/2” board I come in 5 rows on every side and mark where they intersect at the corners, insert pins to mark them, remove the painting, then reinsert the pins in the board to use as a guide to cut it. Make sure you mark which edge will be the top . It works perfectly every time, and I have found it to be more accurate since sometimes the canvases are not exactly square. Folding in the corners is much easier if you plan ahead and remove the drills from the canvas first. For instance, I remove a five by five drill square at each corner when I’m using 1/2” board.
@@ginasolomko417 this is genius!!! Thank you so much for the pin idea!!! I’ve been hoping to make another video with some new suggestions and would love to try and share this method if that’s okay! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this. You explained it so well. I would love to see how you hang them on the wall too.
@@JoyOfStayingIn you are most welcome! I’m so glad you found it helpful. I actually made a second video explaining how we hung them, as we already had nails in the wall. It’s in my tips and tutorials playlist. Others have suggested command strips. Thanks again
I’ve mounted mine on a painting canvas. I paint the canvas with spray paint in any background colour you want. I cut the diamond painting to be in the centre of my canvas. I use a spray adhesive to glue the painting down. I also spray the painting with high gloss acrylic spray, it keeps the painting flexible.
@@lorrainetyerman4851 that sounds like a great idea. How do you get the right size canvas to use for all these oddly sized paintings? That was my main problem but I love your idea. Would love to see a picture of one
I took pictures of 2 of mine but I don't know how to send to you.
@ you can send to my email: rubiesandmoonstones@yahoo.com
Id love that! Thanks
I would really love to see a video on how you mounted them on the wall. Thanks.
Thank you. I’ve been getting a lot of people asking that so I’m going to try to post a follow up soon explaining that part
Thanks for letting me know you’d like to see that so I know to make a video 😁👍
New subbie here, just because I was blown away by how simple you explained this whole process. I am looking forward to watching more videos from you. TY!
Thank you so much for subscribing and what a wonderful compliment! That means a lot. Thank you!
Ooooh! I’m going to have to try this on a budget canvas first (for practice). Thanks!
That’s what I did with my rose one; well, it was one I was okay with not turning out. I really didn’t want to ruin my birds. Always best to practice
You can seal the DP and the pain the edges of the canvas before mounting so it would have a coloured edge that could look cool with your method too!!!
That could look cool too! Good idea. I’ve never sealed a canvas and would like to avoid it on some but I’ve got some sealant to use if I ever find I really need to. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones, I'm curious to know why you don't want to seal your canvases after completion. And what circumstances would force you to do that. Thank you!
@@QuiltingMatilda I’ve “talked” to a bunch of people online who say it’s an unnecessary step, it’s simply not needed. Most of my canvases are diamond art club and they don’t recommend it, and personally, I worry that they will lose some of their sparkle if I do cover with a sealer. Especially with the special drills. I did just seal some coasters though and they seem to still look ok.
I think, at this point, the only reason I would seal is if I have so many popping drills that I need to, in order to keep all the drills in place, and that it’s on a piece I want to keep and display. So far I haven’t had an issue with that though either. Or maybe if I notice that the ones on display are gathering dust in places I don’t want it, especially on rounds. I think I’d be more likely to seal a round kit for that reason. Only time will tell at this point. I have purchased sealers in the beginning of my diamond painting days, but haven’t used it yet. It’s good to have on hand just in case. Just my opinion, as of this moment in time. But I’m always learning. Thanks for the question
I watched my mother frame so many of her acrylic and watercolor paintings, this looks fairly easy for me... Thank you so much for giving me hints on dealing with corners..
This is just great! 🎉. Thank you! You are such a great teacher!
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching
GREAT demo on how you put your canvases on foam board & hang. I would love to try this. You make it look so easy…… 👍 Thanks again for sharing. Your completed birds look amazing!! Fantastic job! Now I need to gather the products to complete. Happy Diamond Painting! 💎
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked the video and are going to try it. I’m really happy with them.
Thank you so much. Such a great way to frame your painting. What a brilliant video ❤.
@@Jan_Smyth thank you so much!!! That is such a wonderful compliment. I really appreciate it 😁
Beautiful!!!! Can’t wait to use this idea on mine!!! Would love to see them on your wall!!😊
Thank you! I’ve only done 3 so far. I inserted pictures at the end of this video, and then I made a companion video about hanging them where I did put in some video of them on the wall. You can find that in my tips and tutorials playlists if you’re interested. I’m real happy how they turned out. I hope you are too
Great idea. Can’t wait to see how you hang them on the walls.
Going to try to upload that video today 🤞
Thanks for showing us another version of how you hand your diamond paintings. It really looks good.
@@nmladyg thank you!
Thank you for making this tutorial! I’ve been wanting to do this very same thing for my canvases; your tips will make this so easy for me!
You are most welcome! I’m glad the tutorial was helpful and hopefully it will make your process go smoother
Great ideas! The bird art is so adorable!
Thanks so much! I absolutely love Richard Lorenz birds! I have so many to still complete but they are so much fun to do. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for doing these framing videos! I love the normal diamond art content, as I enjoy seeing what other people do, but I always wondered how to "finish" them. They seem to need customized framing, which is a fortune in and of itself, so seeing more cost-effective methods is has been completely missing for me.
I love the way you have the drills going over to the sides! I did a DAC round kit on sale at hobby lobby that I did for my mom last year, and found out at the framing department they they could dry frame it, and so I did. It looks good, but I wish the sides weren't so bare. I never thought about wrapping them around!
What hardware do you plan to use with the foam board canvases?
Thank you much for your comment. I was having the same issues which is why I worked to come up with this and am really happy how they turned out.
I keep getting asked about how they were hung on the wall and I had my husband do that so I’m going to ask him and add another video showing that as I think it will be easier to explain that way.
Thanks again!
Watched your video again. I love the idea and I keep practicing. My biggest hurdle is cutting the foam board. I guess my knife isn’t sharp enough! I will keep trying. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! Yes, cutting the foam board can be a challenge. A good knife is a must. One time it wasn't working well for me, and I realized I didn't have enough of the blade extended. Once I corrected, that it worked. And I need to put quite a bit of pressure down to help it cut through too. I'm really glad I have the metal ruler to use as a straight edge, or my lines would be all over the place. Even with it I can make mistakes. Good luck! I hope it works out for you. Please let me know if it does! :-)
I've got to try this. Looks very cost effective.
It really is! I should have added it all up. Thanks for watching
Love it! I'm going to try this ! Looks beautiful and professional. Oh less expensive!❤ Thank you
Thank you. Command strips would work too, as someone else mentioned.
Thank you so much for the informative and easy to follow video. I finally got up the nerve to do my "Gnome for the Holidays". It turned out well. I learned what to improve on for the next pic. You did a wonderful job!
@@mysbhvn thanks so much! I’m so glad it worked for you! I have a bunch I want to do more like this but it’s so hard to find the time and space for it. I have a lot of big ones. Thanks again!
I have a couple more that I am waiting to do and they are both big pictures. Framing those can get so expensive and I think the way you do it makes them look just as nice.
@ thank you so much! That’s such a wonderful compliment. Yes: framing can be so expensive! That’s how I came up with this: I was looking for an economical alternative I could do myself. Plus, all the diamond paintings I want to “frame” are such odd shapes it’s super hard to find a frame or stretch bars that match. Thanks again. Love the messages
@Rubies_And_Moonstones I have a question. I had my canvas sitting on a table. I realized all the edges had lifted up off the double back tape??? Thoughts? Did I pull it too tight. I tried pressing it down again and it keeps popping up. Should I just tape it on the backside? Thanks for your thoughts :)
@ hmmm… 🤔 the sides that wrap around? I’m not sure why they lifted up. Pulling too tight could have done it but I’m not sure. I’m having that’ gradually happen on one of mine. I’m planning to go and staple the canvas onto the tape to hold it in place. So long as it’s on the back it shouldn’t matter how it looks. So you could try that or lay down fresh tape and try to push it down again and maybe weigh it down with books to really hold it in place for a while . I hope one of those works. I’ll keep thinking too. Sorry you’re having an issue
I found your framing tutorial very informative and useful. I am definitely going to try it. Could you please do a tutorial on how to hang it on a wall..tfs
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it helpful. And yes: I am planning to do a video on how we hung it on the wall so that will be coming soon. Hopefully sometime this week. Thanks for watching

Thanks! And yes: I’ll continue to show updates of my wall. There are pictures in this one and I added video to the one about “hanging” them.
Been hearing about diamond painting, and considered giving it a try. Been watching tutorials, and it looks like something I might really enjoy. I know I'd get discouraged if I got up to the end and didn't know how to finish it. Thank you for helping me build the confidence to go ahead and try it.
@@KelliHediger you are most welcome!!! There are a lot of ways to finish one and honestly I don’t display all of mine. It’s just about doing them. 🤷♀️
I definitely didn’t display my first ones (but they were small and cheap and not worth displaying), but they did help me realize how much I love diamond painting! How relaxing and enjoyable it is
ArtDot has some really nice licensed kits that aren’t very expensive and they are all round (more on their website. I have links in my description box). Diamond Art Club is best for square drills but they are expensive and that’s an investment for “trying”. But they’re licensed and they have some smaller kits for less. I just hated my first square because it was from a cheap company and the drills were awful so they didn’t line up well. Now I love them because they’re from a good company
Just suggesting: don’t spend too much to make sure you like it, but I am someone who promotes licensed artwork which is why I mention those two companies (especially artdot: I do have a post review of Sunflowers in Twilight). If you end up loving it, diamond art club is amazing and there’s a lot of other great companies like Jaded Gem Shop and Paint Gems (this one is a great way to try squares)
Good luck! I hope you like it as much as I do
Thank you so much for sharing that😊.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have quite a few diamond paintings that need this because I’m not paying for someone else to do it when I can.
@@IndiaBradyArt my thoughts exactly! I was looking into so many other ways to frame it is so expensive!!!! This is a pretty economical way to DIY! And I love how they look. Thank you. I hope it works well for you too

That’s awesome! It really wasn’t that hard. It was just coming up with the process and taking the time to do it. I am really happy how they turned out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for showing this great idea for hanging DP’s. Frames are so expensive. I like the idea of using the large sheets of double sided tape. Thank you for linking all the supplies, that really helps. Just curious, how did you mount them on the wall? Love the birds also but I have so many DP’s in my stash that I don’t think I will be able to do all of them before I die, lol. Still waiting for Springbringer to come back in stock though, that one is too pretty to pass up. 😺
You know what? I’m going to ask my husband how he mounted them on the wall. I know there was this flat bracket thingy but don’t know the technical term. I’ll look into it and maybe even post a video. I think he glued them on too. I’ll check. Thanks for the good question and feedback

@@BarbaraRothwell-z4c the artist is Richard Lorenz. He is licensed through Diamond Art club so you can find them there. If you do a search for his name all of the ones still available should pop up and there is a link to the ones in my video in the description box. I just love Richard Lorenz! He’s an amazing artist and these birds just make me so happy! I hope you can find one you want to do 😁
Great tutorial. Been wanting to try this and now, I’m ready to go!!! One question-why did you cover the board with the adhesive sheet, since you used the tape all around??
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful. I used the adhesive sheet stuff because I wanted to help sure the canvas would always lay flat on the board. If I just used the tape on the edges, with large paintings especially, I think the canvas could bubble out when hanging on the wall. Maybe it wouldn’t. 🤷♀️ I think it would be okay to just tape the edges on small pieces, but on the large ones, I think it’s important to have the back of the canvas really stick to the board so it won’t bubble off.
Would be a good experiment though. Maybe I can try that with a less preferred painting and see what happens over time
Good question. Thanks for asking
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones Thanks so much for clarifying. It seems a great idea, especially for the hefty ones-like you said. “Better to be safe than sorry “🤗🫤🤗I’m part of that gang too(most of the time) lol.

It takes two people and practice before positioning the good one.

@@barbaraphilipps248 thank you! I’m sure you can. It really wasn’t too bad. I’m eager to do another one and try a few new things. Thanks so much
Thank you for this video! It worked so well. I did alter by using Tackey Spray adhesive for the front of the foam to stick the painting too. Just in case anyone is wondering if that's an option. I just made sure to buy a spray adhesive that was okay to use on both paper and fabric. (Also best to spray adhesive outside).

This is amazing! Do you think you can show how you do it when you have to combine more than one piece of foam board? I have a few pieces that are really big so it will help lots!
Thank you! I certainly plan to. Unfortunately, I don’t have another piece done that needs to be framed this way. However, I am about to start one, so I plan to do a video on that when it’s finished. Hopefully that will be by the end of summer. Thanks again
New subscriber here. They look great on your wall. How do you hang them on the wall?

You’re most welcome! Thanks for watching! And I actually made a second video showing how we hung them on our wall because we already had some screws/bolts there. But others have suggested just using command strips too and that could work.
You can find the video I made showing how we hung them in my “Tips & Tutorials” playlist
Thanks again
Great video! I have found some canvas boards for smaller paintings, but the bigger ones are odd sizes. I wondered what to do when the foam board bows. The release paper from the tape sheet could be used as release paper when you are diamond painting.
That’s a great idea! To refuse that paper!!!
Hopefully I can keep my other foam boards from bowing but I think it works okay how I did that one. Looks good now anyway.
And did you see how I taped that one together? I had to cut three pieces and tape them together to get the right size, and know I will have to do that for some larger ones in the future. (Like “Lost With You” is long and short: no board for that size) I think that should work fine, because once the canvas is wrapped it will continue to help hold them in place. And I taped both sides.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Love your ideas
@Rubies_And_Moonstones I thought about taping them together too. So nice see how you did the corners. I just ordered Gladis!!!!!
@@marshah5930 excellent! I love Gladis! Not a huge fan of all that white but… I love these birds and will be doing them all regardless 🤪
@Rubies_And_Moonstones you left out kind of crazy. I think it'll keep it in. Mica powder for sure with all those white drills.
@@marshah5930 I did. I didn’t want the words, so I purposefully took them out. I can’t do it on round kits but may do it on more square kits. We shall see. 🤷♀️
Have you made a video on sealing the diamond painting?
I have not, as I have never sealed a diamond painting, although I bought sealant early on thinking I would need to.
I will be sealing some coasters so may do a video on that after I’ve practiced and I will do a video if I decide to seal, but so far it hasn’t seemed necessary so I haven’t done it.
Excellent video! What type of hanger to you use to hang it on the wall?
I actually made a follow up video to explain this due to repeated questions. You can find it in my tips and tutorials playlist. Easier to explain that way
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it
The paintings look awesome that way and I would love to do mine like that but I’m not sure I have the strength in my hands anymore to cut the foam board😢 I used to work with plastic canvas and I made a 3 floor doll house using foam board between the walls of the house and it wasn’t very easy to cut the board back then. But I was only using an exacto knife which you know is the size of a pen. I’m guessing it’s alot easier to use a utility knife. I like the ruler that you use. I need a flat ruler to cut out the sections I work on the art. I section my work in square pieces using washi tape. Thank God for people like you posting vids cuz I almost gave up diamond art painting. It was more frustrating than relaxing for me and now it’s relaxing again. By not using a glass covered frame do you have problems with dust on the art and losing drills cuz the glue might dry out? Another thing I learned from peoples vids is size matters. I like landscapes and too busy or alot of confetti will make the art look crappy. My first 2 are throwaways to practice on for the good paintings I’ve been working on. Again thank you for the informative vids and I’m now subscribed to your channel as well
P.S. crappy is my word but it’s actually pixelated to other vloggers
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. I’m glad you’re diamond painting again.
I don’t know, but I wonder if using a really sharp utility knife and a straight edge like I did would make it easier for you. Couldn’t hurt to try. I’m not very strong myself, but I’m also not weak… I guess I’m average. So if I can do it… 🤷♀️
I haven’t been diamond painting very long, and these are the first I’m putting on my wall. Others have told me they don’t have problems with dust or losing drills so I’m hoping that’s the case. Although I did just find some dust on another WIP, but it was where some enhancement drills were not level. So I’m thinking if it’s level and hanging on the wall, it would be okay. I sure hope so. I love these birds and really want them to last.
And yes! Size matters! Plus, the larger the size, the more drills to lay, which to me equals more fun.
Thanks again for subscribing! And commenting. I see I have a lot of comments to look at from you and I’m really excited about it. Thank you so much
Could you please let me know how you attach your pictures to the wall ❤
@@angelanorthcott8449 I actually made a second video to address this. It can be found in my tips and tutorials playlist. Thanks for asking and watching
How did u hang it on the wall? What did u use there? Love this method
Thanks
A lot of people have been asking how I hang it on the wall, and my husband did that, so I’m going to be making a video to show that part, as I think that will be a lot easier to explain than through comments
So stay tuned! I’ll try to get that up sooner than later
Could you seal your picture after it is mounted? Or would it make the foam board bow? Great tutorial. Thank you.
@@susancarpenter4392 I absolutely think you could seal it but I have not tested it however I do plan to as I have one that is round drills and now want to seal it. I don’t think the sealant would go through the canvas to affect the board. At least not the sealant I’ve used so far, which was ARTDOT’s. I plan to try more but haven’t yet. Sorry this is more a hypothesis but I really do think it would be okay or I wouldn’t plan on doing it to one of my Lorenz birds.
And thank you verb much! Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for your tutorial. Great idea. I like sealing my pictures. I would do it after the framing. They looked great. Did you use double sided tape to hang on wall ?
@@tamyterrell2980 thanks! I’m thinking of starting to seal my paintings now too. We shall see. I actually made a separate video about how we hung these. It can be found in my tips and tutorials playlist but we did not use double sided tape although some have suggested command strips. I’m hoping to make an updated video soon too
This video was so very helpful. I do have one question. How exactly do you hang it on the wall once it is mounted? It is foam board so Im not sure how you would hang it to display. Beautiful work by the way :)
@@mariamirabella2580 thank you so much for the comment. I’m glad you found it helpful. I really think it works well and isn’t very expensive. I actually made a second video showing how I hung these. It’s in my tips and tutorials playlist. We already had nails in our wall but others have suggested command strips. I’m biking to make another video with a really odd size and be sure to include the hanging portion in that video, as well as lots of suggestions I’ve received. Thanks again!
What type of hanging hook or string to position easily. Great job!!!
@@Karen-xx1cz thank you! I actually made a second video to show how we hung ours. Others have suggested command strips. My video can be found in the tips and tutorials playlist. So far it’s still working for us (sawtooth picture hangers and lots of tape)
I also hope to make another video soon about doing this on a large odd sized piece but it may be a bit before I get to it. It’s on the list though!!! And I have some ideas to improve the method I’ll share then too
Thanks so so mush for thies vido came at the most amazing time ❤❤
You are most welcome! I hope it helps
Well done thank you
Thank you! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I always appreciate it
Hi, I’m a new subbie. I love your tutorial I was looking for one like this. So glad I found this.
Can you tell me what kind of double sided adhesive you’re using please
Thank you,
@@merescreations thank you so much! I’m so glad you found the video helpful and subscribed too! Welcome!
I listed links to everything I used in my video in the description box. Hope that helps! Thanks again
Hi your work is fantastic well done. À couple of questions what do you hang it with and where do you get the pictures from as diamond painting club doesn't seem to sell them thank you x
@@beverleyseeney5446 thank you!
So I made a 2nd video that explains how we hung them. It can be found in my tips and tutorials although others have suggested command strips. I need to do this with a new one that’s huge and will likely change things up a bit for that one and plan to record it as well. And I did get almost all my Richard Lorenz from DAC but I know a lot are archived now. I got a couple archived ones from Facebook destash groups and am still searching for Agnus. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any other questions and a lot of info Is also always in my description box. Thanks again
Such a great idea. I am a Richard Lorenz fan too. Trying to collect all of his. Working on Cletus now. Can you tell me how you hang them in the wall please?
Love Richard Lorenz too (if it’s not obvious).
A lot of people have been asking about how we hung them on the wall and I think that would be easier to explain in a video so I’ll be doing a follow up soon
Thanks for asking
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones I rewatched this video because I took a DAC canvas to Michaels, she did't know how to mount it. It came out ok, but I going to take your video to her so she can see how its done better than what she did, that way she will be able to mount for someone else in the future. I am going to mount all my own from now on. I really appreciate you taking the time to show this. Thanks
@@diamondsandthings wow! That is truly the most amazing compliment ever!!! Thank you so much! You have no idea what it means to near to hear things like this. I am so glad you found my video to be so helpful and hope you find success doing it on your own.
I do plan to post future videos as I try different sizes and any improvements I learn along the way
When you taped your board together did you do it front and back? I have a lot of large canvases that I would need to make a bigger board. This is awesome video thank you. I am new to your channel
Yes! I taped both sides, and put down a few strips of tape. Wanted to try to make it as secure as possible. And mine actually weren’t “perfect” when they lined up next to each other. There was a small gap but I was able to make it so the outside part was flush and felt that was what was most important.
I’m glad I had the chance to practice taping together because I have some coming up that are super awkward sizes and will need that for me to be able to do the same way of “framing” for them.
Thanks so much for the compliment and for watching! Glad you found it helpful
Can you show us how you actually put the up on the wall. I don’t how to do that.
@@NosyRoseE I actually made a second video showing how I did that with these (basically sawtooth picture hangers and a lot of tape). Others have suggested command strips. I may try something different on my next one and plan to make another video when I can to frame it (it’s super long and short so is going to be very different)
That other video can be found in my tips and tutorials playlist
How are you going to mount or hang them? Looks great!
I made a second video to address this question. It’s in my Tips and Tutorials playlist. Others have also suggested command strips
Where did you get the green board that you are using as a base when you’re cutting?
@@ninakane2661 just off Amazon. There should be a link to it along with everything else in the description box below the video
Where did you purchase the foam board ? Really like this method for framing .
I got mine at hobby lobby. I put links to everything I used in the description box.
I really like how it turned out too. Thanks for watching
I didn’t understand why you took off the double sided adhesive sheets can you explain please
@@berbiejohnson6209 I’m confused as well but it’s been a while since I watched this video. I don’t recall removing the double sided adhesive after i laid it down unless it needed to be adjusted. Can you refer me to the point in the video you’re talking about so I can watch it specifically and get you a better answer? (And I apologize: the house is sick again, including myself so my brain just might not be functioning at its best right now, but I still want to help.). Thank you
Yes I am new, please tell me the name of the diamond painting on your table,,,,, I would love to get it.
@@nedragreen2170 the one I’m working on in this video is Gladis by Richard Lorenz. Unfortunately she’s been archived but there are a lot of other cool Richard Lorenz birds on Diamond Art club’s website. You can also join a destash group on Facebook and put out an ISO to try and find her there. I hope you have some good luck trying to find her or another Richard Lorenz piece! I just love all his silly birds. Thanks for watching and joining! Happy to have you here
Can you use thos mounting method if you've sealed the project? Thanks
I honestly can’t tell you with 100% certainty as I haven’t tried it and I haven’t even sealed a painting yet. However, if your sealant still allows the canvas to bend/roll a bit, I don’t see why not. It just needs to be able to go over the edges so if it can do that it should work.
Any ideas on some kind of flat decorative corner (like protectors ) you could stick on , or ones that would have enough depth & overlap for the thickness of the dry mount you could use to enhance the frame look ? I see a lot of stuff on Temu but will not buy from them .......
@@doublej4077 that’s a great idea but it could be hard to find one that would fit. 🤔 but I do wonder if you could find ones made for canvases that would work or some that are foldable so you could make them fit a variety of sizes. I don’t know. That’s a really great idea though and worth looking into. I know they make a lot for pictures so it’s all about finding the right size
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones: Well I placed an order on Amazon for a 20 piece vintage bronze corner protectors decorative metal edge covers etc and we will see how that does . But there was another idea I got from a lady , and that idea has a lot of potential I can adapt it for use . The title of her vid was "How to make DIY faux metal corners for junk journal covers ! Cheap and quick step by step tutorial. " I think for sure this one will work for what I want. ANyway thanks for your quick response . I want to accent that framed look with this idea !
@@doublej4077 I think it sounds amazing! Can you let me know how it goes? Maybe send me an email with pictures? Thanks
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones : Sure ok...once I get it worked out I will send you some pics.
@@doublej4077 thank you!!!
Do you seal your art? If so, before or after placing on board.
Thank you 😊
@@juliebecker4436 I have not sealed any of my diamond paintings yet. So the ones in these videos were not sealed. They are still holding together rather well.
I am considering starting to seal paintings I want to display. I’m just not sure which product to use yet and plan to do a video where I compare them. But that probably won’t be for a little while still
If I do decide to seal moving forward then I would go back and seal these mounted once, which would be after mounting. So I think you could do it either way; so long as the canvas is still a bit bendable after the sealant has been applied.
Sorry I can’t be more help on that yet except to say I haven’t sealed any and so far I haven’t had issues
Thanks for watching!
Where do you find the description box and the links to products you have purchased for this video? I’m trying to find out where you Purchased the double-sided adhesive sheet, roll, from Amazon and I don’t know where to find it on your page. Thank you. 14:25
@@PamMoinette there should be a link that says “more…” right underneath the video. On my phone it’s under the video and next to the lengths of time for the video. If you click “more” than the description box will open up with all that information
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones thank you for the quick response. There wasn’t anything under the video that said more so I finally found it under newest comments. Thank you.
Now I’ve lost the info again. Under Moore it only gives you the option to look at the transcript. Amazon even threw away the role of tape that was in my cart.
@@PamMoinette hmm. Sorry. I’m guessing everyone type of phone/computer is a bit different but I’m glad you found it!!! Thanks
@@PamMoinette weird. If you want to email me I can send you links
Do you glue set your drills before using foam board?
@@trishwilliams3393 are you asking if I “seal” my painting first? I assume so, and I did not. It’s not something I’ve ever found an actual need to do. However, I think you could. I know there are a lot of sealants out there, so you’d just need to make sure it is one that still will allow your canvas to be able to roll/bend around those edges. If I ever do seal a painting, I’ll be sure to do a video. Thanks for asking.
Sorry if I’m commenting before you mention it in this video, but did you seal these diamond paintings? I’m just thinking about the need to dust them in the future, especially if they aren’t framed behind glass…I haven’t done a lot of diamond painting but I’m thinking that sealing most or all of them is best practice so the drills stay on.
I LOVE all these crazy birds!
Thank you!
I’m glad you ask questions while you think of them. I do mention at some point that I did not seal them. I haven’t sealed any yet. I’ve asked a lot of people and most say it’s really not necessary but if I run into one that starts to lose drills I’ll have to.
When framing in this manner I think it’s important to not seal first so the canvas is still very bendable. If I were to seal, I’d do it after it’s on the canvas (I think: but like I said, I haven’t done it before on any of my paintings. And at least with square drills there aren’t cracks for dust. But the community seems to say dust isn’t an issue so.. 🤷♀️ in all honesty, I haven’t been diamond painting long enough to know myself, and these are the first I’m putting on my wall permanently so I’ll find out eventually. I did mica powder the extra glue on the edges to prevent the dust and stuff there though. I think I mention that too)
Thanks again for asking and watching
That’s a very good point about waiting to seal it (if going that direction) until after mounting it.
These are going to look so cool when you have them all displayed!
@@PDXMom there are so many they’re eventually going to take over the entire house! The idea was to put them in the stairwell but with 4 new releases in a month, I have a feeling I’m going to outgrow that space fast. 🤣
New subscriber, how do you mount it on the wall?
@@michaelacolorsandcreates4030 thanks for subscribing! I actually made a second video explaining how I did it. It’s in my tips and tutorials section. Others have suggested command strips. I may try that on small ones in the future but like the hangars we used since they are working so far.
I plan to do another one soon of a really awkward size too
@@Rubies_And_Moonstones thank you
@@michaelacolorsandcreates4030 anytime
What do you use to hang them on your wall?
@@quomillachambers3101 I actually made a 2nd video to explain this due to everyone asking and me not thinking to include it. You can find it in my tips and tutorials playlist. It’s easier to explain in the video. Thanks
