I love that you keep it real when doing your videos. I started my first project using your set up ideas and i am having good results I already have a about 2 inches on a full project done ( I'm addicted already)
I just started diamond painting 2 days ago and yes I'm in a lot of pain working on my desk. At 73 years old evrything hurts, lol. This is very helpful. Thank you.
Good afternoon happy you had a good weekend love the diamond painting. Can’t wait to see your next projects. Enjoy the rest of your day.🌅💐🙏🏾☕️🎉 congratulations your diamond painting looks so beautiful
I’ve been pretty much bed bound for the past 8 months and have been wondering if I could diamond paint in bed since I always wanted to try it and this was so helpful!!!
I'm just a beginner but I already had something similar in a small drawing board. I use it on top of a small camping table as I do ALL my painting in bed as I suffer from chronic pain. I don't yet have a lightboard (it's on it's way from Wish.com) and instead of the sticky pad I just used a wedge of blue tack on the shelf part to make the tray stay upright! I think it's a lot about what works for you and just trying out different things to see what is comfortable!!
Use one of the foam noodles that the canvases come wrapped in to roll up the back part of the canvas and center it between the two foam pads of the lap desk. Attach with duct tape or clips. Works wonders that way.
I have one of those lab desk. And the light pad. I'm love it. Also from Amazon. I need to know where to get the sticky pad? I have accidents and my drills go everywhere. Thanks for sharing.
I just received the bamboo one with tilt and a cute drawer. Will use mine for adult coloring. But now I'm curious about diamond painting. It'd be an exuse to get a light pad😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I purchased something similar to this at the same price from Amazon, however, it did not have the padded underside and the adjustability was not as high. I think I will go ahead and purchase this one. It looks a lot more comfortable to use. Thanks for sharing.
I have a lap desk and decided to use the Velcro trick to attach it so it wouldn’t slide around. I attempted to take it off to use on something else and it seems like it’s pulling the light pad apart! I just wondered if you had taken yours off & if you had any issues? Thanks so much for all of the work that you put into your channel, I truly enjoy it so much & look forward to your videos!!
Chanda Owen I have taken the velcro off and I am very careful in taking it off. I actually just bought smaller velcro dots and am going to try them on my light pad for my lap desk.
What about sticking a piece of that Loctite Fun Tak in the adjustable spaces then put it up to the size you like? It might keep it from accidentally moving out of place.
Wow that looks awesome!! I do all mine at a large drafting table and it DOES kill my back. Unfortunately all mine diamond paintings that I do are large, most being 60 x 80 so they wouldn’t work on this. Would be great to be able to do them in my recliner though. Thank you for sharing.
Stitcherista I’d have to roll it both at the top and the sides. Not sure how well that would work but you never know. I might give it a try. Thank you.
I just ordered this tilting lap desk--I have never done diamond Painting but i do like to color while watching tv--thanks for the tip--i used your "love" page. thanks for the review Just getting into cross stitchery...hugs, Julierose
This look great and it ships to Sweden! Really cheap to a huge plus for me. I have been looking at getting something so I can sit on the couch and do diamond paintings so I think I will buy it. Thank you for sharing this
Thanks for sharing! I just ordered a wooden one, made for a table top, but i may need to get this one too so i can do it in bed. Hate the back and neck pain this causes. Im sure it will get better once i get my light pad.
How large is the project you had on there? It looks like you’re creasing the canvas when you roll it and put it underneath? I’m interested in this but want to know your experience over time when you get to the lower part of the canvas.
Thank you so much for this! For years I've loved to crochet in bed as a way to relax before going to sleep. Then I broke my finger and can't crochet anymore (I can but it takes 10 times longer to finish anything). I discovered diamond painting and thought it would be fun but really wished there was a way to do it in bed as a form of relaxation...and now it looks as though I can! I already ordered some kits from amazon; looks like I just need a tilted desk and a bead buddy mat. Do you ever put the diamond things right on the mat so they won't roll away, or do you find sticking the tray on the mat is good enough (I'm a klutz and can imagine myself moving the wrong way and having to pick up diamonds from the bed, lol).
I hate to be a bother but what product did you use to affix the light box to the lap table and also what product is the blue pad that holds your diamond tray. Once I get set up i should be able to just enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for your time in responding.
I used heavy duty Velcro. Here is the link: amzn.to/2uoGrHz And then for the sticky bead mat I switched out from the blue one in this video to this one, which I like the best: amzn.to/2unG00d
I don’t see the A4 box light listed in your Amazon picks. Am I just missing it somehow? I would like to get one, that would fit the lap desk. Would appreciate your referral. Than’ you
If you go watch this video I did, I show you my favorite tray to use with the bead mat so there is minimal diamonds falling out. th-cam.com/video/Nt1gt0T7BMM/w-d-xo.html
Leona Lear do you mean the sticky pad that holds the tray? If you look in the description box I have a link to my amazon page and the sticky bead may is on there under the diamond painting list.
Handy! 👌😲 First of all, I get you with the back problem, I started DP because I normally lay down but need to train myself to sit again. And second of all, why don't you have the likes enabled? By what I know it counts, just as me writing right now here, for your YT account and what comes out of it if you get me? ☺ But that's a great lap desk! Sadly I am not from the State's so buying things most often it is not shipping to my Country and second of all, first on the list is a lightpad.. and again, much more affordable over at your side of the world than here argh lol.. 😝😜😊 So I'm saving up for that first. But love that you have benefit by it! And yes, why not take your DP with you! I bet you infect someone with the DP virus LOL 😨😉😄
Thanks so much for this! Due to chronic pain I can’t sit leaning over a table so I was looking for something I could use for my lap while I’m in my chair or recliner and this fits the bill. You looked cozy right away so I knew I was in the right place lol. I also appreciate that you don’t use the words “um” or “like” all through the video as I’ve heard others doing; that drives me crazy! I am definitely subscribing!
I went and got it LOOKS like it will help so much U have got me HOOKED I ordered my first painting I SURE HOPE i got the right thing I have been real sick and I do not have a CLUE where U came from But I sure am glad u did.. U have made me LAFF OUT LOUD THANK YOU!!! Hope you had a wonderful trip and glad you are getting out of there in TIME!!!! I think it might go right over my house ::O(
Well you came up when I put in the search engine “how to use my diamond paintings on my drafting desk” ok I’m 2 yrs late to see you blond but as my cosmetics daughter says “God is the best hair colorer” in your case I can say that fits! And you look healthier than you did 2 years ago as well?) and you haven’t aged matter of fact you just look even younger than you were
I love that you keep it real when doing your videos. I started my first project using your set up ideas and i am having good results

There is just something so relaxing watching you're diamond painting reviews!😊
So excited to finally start diamond painting! Just ordered this and the light pad!
I bought this one thanks to you, Danielle, and I love it. I think it might travel well, too. ♥️♥️♥️
I'm just a beginner but I already had something similar in a small drawing board. I use it on top of a small camping table as I do ALL my painting in bed as I suffer from chronic pain.

I think it's a lot about what works for you and just trying out different things to see what is comfortable!!
Vikki Mac: great idea to use blue tack for that! I'm thinking now of setting up a slant board of some kind and blue tack could be super.
Use one of the foam noodles that the canvases come wrapped in to roll up the back part of the canvas and center it between the two foam pads of the lap desk. Attach with duct tape or clips. Works wonders that way.
What a great tip!
Amazon is going to be busy shipping these lap desk out this week. Looking forward to Tuesday....thanks!!!
I love mine. It works great pretty much anywhere and it is nice and light for taking with you.
Just ordered this from your Amazon page. Thanks so much for the reviews. I’m hoping I can use this to travel with on an upcoming trip.
I seriously love this lap desk! It works great. And is lightweight!!!
thanks for this video! the lap tables are under $10 rn. I am new to DP and just started coasters. Hope this table helps!
I have one of those lab desk. And the light pad. I'm love it. Also from Amazon. I need to know where to get the sticky pad? I have accidents and my drills go everywhere. Thanks for sharing.
Ok I found where in the comments. Thank you.
I just received the bamboo one with tilt and a cute drawer. Will use mine for adult coloring.
But now I'm curious about diamond painting. It'd be an exuse to get a light pad😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the tilted lap pad. I was wondering how the beads stay in the tray that you stuck to the project....by the way, how did you stick the tray.
I have it tilted just enough that the diamonds don't fall out. And I used a sticky bead mat to stick the tray to the diamond painting.
Thanks for demoing this adjustable lap desk. Definitely going to order one!!!!
What a great idea ! It may help with my arthritis in my neck !
I bought me one a few months ago and love it! Thanks for sharing!❤️🦋🌹

I got to get one it will save me a lot of back pain
Thanks for this review, I'm going to order this today! Hope it works in my recliner.
What about sticking a piece of that Loctite Fun Tak in the adjustable spaces then put it up to the size you like? It might keep it from accidentally moving out of place.
Beth Jach good idea! I will have to try that.
I started diamond painting yesterday and my neck is hurting so much!
Will the sticky blue think work with the clear canvas cover instead of the white cover ?
Yes I think it would still work.
Wow that looks awesome!! I do all mine at a large drafting table and it DOES kill my back. Unfortunately all mine diamond paintings that I do are large, most being 60 x 80 so they wouldn’t work on this. Would be great to be able to do them in my recliner though. Thank you for sharing.
Lisa’s Coloring Corner if you could figure out a way to roll the canvas up good it could work.
Stitcherista I’d have to roll it both at the top and the sides. Not sure how well that would work but you never know. I might give it a try. Thank you.
I just ordered this tilting lap desk--I have never done diamond Painting but i do like to color while watching tv--thanks for the tip--i used your "love" page. thanks for the review Just getting into cross stitchery...hugs, Julierose
I think this is a perfect solution for you! Thanks for the review!
Hi I am on my first diamond painting can you tell me what that sticky stuff is you stick the diamond holder to? Thanks!
It is a bead mat. I should have it linked in the description box.
Stitcherista OH I didn’t think to look there 🙃 Thank you!
Thanks for the review, that looks like a really cool lap desk, handy for all kinds of things.
I love that it worked for you!
It looks like it might fit in one of your larger project bags. Just ordered mine.
Grate , I will get one. What kind of light pad are you using, it looks like it fits perfectly. 👓
That is an A4 size light pad. I have it on my amazon page under the diamond painting tab.
This look great and it ships to Sweden! Really cheap to a huge plus for me. I have been looking at getting something so I can sit on the couch and do diamond paintings so I think I will buy it. Thank you for sharing this
I go to a retreat twice a year, I really enjoy it!
Thank you for all the tips. I will be getting one of these.
I like that desk! I will have to put that on my wish list so I can up grade.
This looks pretty good. I’m also looking for a set up to diamond paint in bed. Are you still using this? Do the drills really stay in the tray?
I diamond painted in bed for an entire year in the evening. The drills do stay in the tray.
Could you do a bigger canvas just curious
You probably could but you would have to find a way to deal with the excess canvas around the sides.
Thanks for sharing! I just ordered a wooden one, made for a table top, but i may need to get this one too so i can do it in bed. Hate the back and neck pain this causes. Im sure it will get better once i get my light pad.
Where do you get the sticky pad from? That looks so useful!
Bead Buddy Mat: amzn.to/3duTImM
What are you using to hold the tray for the diamonds?
It is a sticky pad that you can stick the tray to. I bought it on Amazon.
Hi, where can i buy this frome please? Im in Australia, thankyou.
I have it linked in the description box where I bought it from Amazon.
I bought it and love it - THANKS SO MUCH!!!
How large is the project you had on there? It looks like you’re creasing the canvas when you roll it and put it underneath? I’m interested in this but want to know your experience over time when you get to the lower part of the canvas.
It was a 30 by 45. I just finished a 30 by 40 using that lap desk and had no problems with the canvas being creased.
Stitcherista great to know !!! Thanks!
Hello. Can you attach a link to you light pad please as it fits perfect.
amzn.to/2rSncos
Looks like a great product. Thanks!!

Sticking the tray on the mat is enough.
@@Stitcherista Thank you
I need something like this because I messed up my neck doing my diamond painting. After my car accident my neck hasn't been the same.
Love the Oriole Bird! Is it a DP?
It is not a DP.

just bought this. i bought a large wooden one today from michael's but it's way to big for my one bedroom apartment
Love it and i love the way the tray stick to the pad. What is that sticky thing?
It is a sticky mat. Like this one: amzn.to/2WBAq7L
@@Stitcherista thanks!
Can this lapdesk handle b4 or a3 lightpad
Hi! Love your videos! Where did you get the sticky pad for your bead tray? :)
amzn.to/2Lz3BVl
I don’t see the A4 box light listed in your Amazon picks. Am I just missing it somehow? I would like to get one, that would fit the lap desk. Would appreciate your referral. Than’ you
Here is a link to the light pad I am using for the lap desk. amzn.to/2NRcUOT
I just ordered the desk from your link.
Thanks for posting this video my sister is ordering me one
What is the sticky thing you use for your tray? I am thinking of buying my first kit:) Might even get my daughter to do it also:)
I use this: amzn.to/2qN9FO8 and even sometimes one of these: amzn.to/2OKeHEA
Where is the larger one that you were using. I don’t need a slant. You are the best. I just don’t want to order tgsatvsame dimensions.

I tried the sticky pad for my tray but they keep falling out .
If you go watch this video I did, I show you my favorite tray to use with the bead mat so there is minimal diamonds falling out. th-cam.com/video/Nt1gt0T7BMM/w-d-xo.html
Can a 17 inch laptop fit on it ?
I would say yes. I use a light pad on it that is 18 inches wide. Some of it hangs over each edge, but I have never had a problem balancing it.
Where did u get the sticky stuff for your drill s on light pad
Leona Lear do you mean the sticky pad that holds the tray? If you look in the description box I have a link to my amazon page and the sticky bead may is on there under the diamond painting list.

So smart. When the baby is napping next to me in bed or on the couche this would be perfect
I just checked amazon.ca and it is $37.00, wow.
It’s not a bad idea to take a stand for an elongated amount of time
Sharon rademakers leuk
Only thing missing is a project bag 😺
Jeanette Hunter I have a big vera Bradley bag that I'm pretty sure it will fit in!!!
