Hi Rebecca! Just a suggestion for anyone - to fill the gaps at the back of my storage, I used a piece of the foam that some diamond paintings come rolled up on. I just cut a piece as big as I needed to fill the gap, and as the box fills up I can just trim the foam as the row expands. And they’re white so they don’t stand out inside the box. If the foam is wide or thick enough, you can get away with just one piece, otherwise two will work. And they’re free!!! So if you’re on a budget, you can use what you may have normally thrown out.
US viewer here. I recently discovered your channel and have loved listening to your videos while doing my own diamond painting. I wanted to support your business too so I got a few of your super cute pink trays! Thank you for your videos and your hard work with your business! I subscribed so I’ll definitely be a returning viewer and customer! 😊
I’m usually a silent watcher but I just wanted to say that I think your hubby is the best! I’m not sure mine would have done that. He’s kind of “afraid” of the craft stores! 😆 Love listening to you waffle. Thanks for all you do! 🙂🙂
Pretty storage done and dusted. I actually think the bottles work great to take up the space and you only need to take out a bottle at a time. Anything else you put in there would have to be continuously adjusted. Thank you so much for sharing!
I very much like your storage videos. As I just started in march last year and don't have much time I am still on my first box with spares. But I used your great idea with the boxes and dividers, I just love it. 😍
Love the “prettying up” the storage boxes videos. I need to finish revamping mine. I have one large decorative box and keep both round and square together.
For propping up the end pieces you could cut some cardboard (maybe from the amazon box?) into strips that are the length from the end of the box to the end piece and fold it in the middle so it forms an inverted v. If you make the strip wide enough, that the V reaches atleast halfway up the dividers, it should be really stable as the sides help it keep the shape. And as you get more diamonds, you can easily shorten the cardbord with some scissors to create more wiggleroom. You could also do it with foam board for a nicer look :)
Oh man, I desperately wanted some long videos to watch today and was pretty sure there weren't going to be any from anyone I subscribe to. You've just made my morning (not quite 11am here) that much brighter. :) ETA: I'm pretty happy with my storage. Right now, the photo boxes I'm using is a pattern that looks like those abstract paintings (just varying shades of blue in like a watercolor effect) but the store I got them from has finally gotten in some new stuff and I'm really tempted to get new ones again, lol. They're not on the best sale (haven't seen them for the best price they go since August when I got them in the first place) but because it's a dark grey woodgrain, I'm debating whether or not to just suck it up and go buy them at the higher sale price (which is double the best bargain) because I suspect the pattern is going to be widely popular. I diamond paint in my master bedroom and the colors in there are grey and dark purple and I've been wanting some boxes that match the decor a bit better (I was hoping for something purple but I just don't think it's going to happen as long as I've been waiting) but the woodgrain is a nice neutral. It's so funny how some things are easy enough to just make do and others you want them to be just so.
I like collectable card boxes - the sort you would use for baseball cards or pokemon cards. They come with dividers already and are very inexpensive. They can ship flat, so you might find them somewhere that can ship inexpensively, but you can find them in local stores that sell that sort of thing, like comic book stores. The cards do need to be adapted, the ones I use are wider and shorter than the ones you use in the photo boxes, and the boxes are plain white, so easy to decorate as you like.
I like my new storage for my extra diamonds. I found two bags of one DMC - number earlier this week. I have also start doing one new thing. I am checking the list of DMC - numbers for my new painting, with the numbers that I´ve allready have in my spare storage. It will hopefully save me time when I am dekitting and breakdown my paintings. I am using 2 pieces of foamboard, as dividers. I have made my own DMC - cards. Pink for every DMC - number. White for every section (100, 200 etc.) This makes it easier for me to find the numbers i am looking for. I was ordered 100 cards first of both colours. The pink ones ran out the first day I was use them. I have ordered 250 more of them now)
Thanks Rebecca. As always I enjoy your waffles! I'm sure you have answered my question, but thought within this video it was ok to ask... what size (in cms) are your "photo" boxes? Thank you! Nancy
When you were trying the baggies in the gaps.. I was saying "take them out of the bigger bag and put them in as if they had diamonds in them" Just an idea lol 😊👍💚

You could cut the foam core that come with some diamond paintings to fit the spaces in the back, maybe put a few in each end section.
A spring of some kind would work really well
Your bottles were great. It looks like I sure do like your style.
Thanks so much!

How long did it take to get your stuff from the UK? I also live in the US but have been hesitant about ordering. Thank you!!
@@teresaroger8826 I just purchased it yesterday- but I got tracking with it so I’ll let you know when it arrives and how long it took!
@@stormyanngraves thank you!!

I managed to sort my round and square storage today so I have de kitted 2 painting into that. Now need to sort my spares without DMC numbers....
Hello Rebecca, I'm up to 6 for rounds and 4 for squares. You can tell what type of paintings I prefer lol !

Fantestic!! Feels so good to see you accomplish your goal! Now for mine 😆 Hugs from Utah
I ordered my photo boxes from hobby craft all the way to Iceland😍 it wasn’t too expensive if I remember correctly 🥰
That is awesome!

I'm with you on that. I love the sound of the woodgrain.

I have the shop I get them from linked here: addmorezest.com/favourites/sparestorage They also have the sizes on the site.

Hi you can put green boats inside your bxes
🌻
Eventually you will get to the point where you have a full baggie of every color in round and square... makes me wonder what happens after that.

You could make an X out of two pieces of foam board by cutting only halfway through each one like you would find in a box of wine💎🍷💎🇨🇦

What are the measurements of the photo box? I bought one and it's rather deep. Help! I'm so frustrated.
I've got the link to the one I use here: addmorezest.com/favourites/sparestorage and it's got measurements on the site.
@@addmorezest Thank you so much I see there are two different sizes which one do you use?
@@LoveMyBoys3 I use this one: www.hobbycraft.co.uk/baby-photo-box-28cm-x-11cm-x-20cm/644828-1000
