- I'll show you three ways that I finish off my diamond paintings.
The best part is that they are easy to do and not expensive!

For the sea horse one, you could put the silver to cover and then put the orange on top of that!!
I thought the orange really set off the colors in the sea horse!!
I bought my first one at Hobby Lobby!
I used to enjoy counted cross stitch and this is sort of similar.
A few weeks ago, I was watching animal videos, with real animals and saw a video for diamond art painting! It really caught my attention!
Anyway, my cousin's birthday is coming up at the end of April and she adores black cats.
She got Midnight when her husband passed away. Midnight passed at the age of 13, it was shortly before Christmas. She went to the same shelter that she got Midnight at. The lady said they had on!y 2 kittens left. They were brothers.
She went to see them. They were both all black kittens and they clung to each other.
They told her they were set to be neutered in the morning and if she came in at 3:30 PM the next day, she could pick which one she wanted!
I got my first kitten at age 24. By the time I was 31, I always had at least 2.
She asked me how to chose between them!
It would be December 23rd and someone would be left behind for a lonely Christmas Eve & Day!
I said, why not take both?? You work allday, that will give them so.done to play with!
Jingle & Jolly came home the next day!
The lady told her she prayed she would take both as they were bonded. They still sleep together, lay beside her on the sofa together, and eat together!
Anyway, I saw the diamond dots painting of an all black kitty that was called Midnight!!
I am going to start working on it and hope it turns out as pretty as yours!
Thank you 🥰 Jingle & Jolly are awesome names, glad they both got a loving home together. I have been wanting to get the Diamond Dotz Midnight DP for ages, enjoy your diamond painting journey...it's heaps of fun! 😀
Thank you. I just found diamond painting in March 2023. I am hooked!
If you buy Eucalyptus Oil 100% from a Chemist or Supermarket, this will allow you to clean up sticky residue just by wiping a little oil with a tissue. I use often to clean my scissors, or remove sticky tape residue. I am in Australia, but am sure they also sell in USA.
I’ve been using washi tape to frame my diamond paintings, but I’ve just been double layering it as I don’t normally use the really glittery ones, then I use the Mod Podge to seal it down.
I use masking/washi tape to finish most of my paintings and when it comes to the more transparent tapes, I'll do them in layers. I might put a black masking tape down and then the more decorative tape over it. Sometimes I'll completely cover the tape beneath but other times I'll let the wider tape "frame" the thinner decorative tape. I've never tried the cloth tape. It did look great in the video.
That's a great idea, I'll try the washi tape and masking tape idea, thanks for the tip 😀
I live in the US, what cloth tape can I get, there is no Bear Brand here. Thanks
I absolutely love all the designs you did for framing the paintings. I've been Diamond Painting since 2018. I'm in love with this art/craft!
Thanks for all the great tips!

I use Washi tape at the start of my diamond paintings so the excess sticky part doesn't get dust or dirt on it while I'm doing it. I remove the Washi tape when I'm done and seal it with the same mod podge. The cloth tape is a really clever idea and I will def try it.
Thank you so much for this video, I just framed two of my diamond painting but now I want to finish one and try it with the cloth tape.
All great finishes! I love what you did with the tree!
These are great ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!
I like all your framing ideas and they look great!
I'm new to DP so found this really useful. Thank you
Thank you so much for your video! I have had a hard time with the sizes of the frames. Never thought of using the cloth tape.
Thank you I have just watched as I was looking for inexpensive ideas for framing. I'm new to this hobby and have.done 10 large diamond art painting since first week of December (i cant get out much and have forgotten to go to bed a couple of times) so before I start another I thought I would like to do some framing. Thanks again
Thank you 🥰 it's so addictive isn't it 😀
Very nice job!! Love the tree!!
Thanks so much for this video! Very helpful.
Thanks for sharing. Great ideas! I love the tape method.
Thank you 🥰
Beautiful job, thanks for the tips!
Than you so much for telling me about Madge podge to use as a sealer. I bought a sealer on Amazon but’s toxic and I have put off using it. I am using blu tac instead of the wax included in the kits and like it much better. First time watching, I’ve subscribed!
A very informative video. Thank you for posting.
This is great!! Thank you for posting this. Ive been painting for about 4months now and have wondered how to frame them without a frame and I never thought to use cloth tape so Im definitely going to try it out😉🤗
Thank you 🥰
Hi there. Can you comment on what your favourite glosses or glues are to cover the drills? Thank you for this video. I learned a lot as I’m newish to Diamond art paintings. I’m hooked and obsessed with them!!!
Eucalyptus oil removes leftover gum from non-porous surfaces.
Great tips and lovely art❤work
Thank you 🥰
Very pretty ways of finishing off your paintings, I have my first kit but have not started it yet.
Thank you 🥰
If you had painted the edges of the sea horse with a primer or white paint then can use your orange tape.
Thank you for sharing these options. I'm curious why you didn't use cloth tape on the framed version. It left a nice straight edge on the Koi picture.
Love the cat! Was this a partial - the eyes look so perfect! What drills were used for outlining the eyes and for the whiskers? Beautiful!
Thanks for the ideas! I would have put the orange washi tape over the silver. That would take care of the chart showing through and the orange really made the picture pop.
Thanks for the tip! 😀
I used the sparkle mod podge and I liked it but the fumes bothered my respiratory system
Just curious, can you use the mod podge on the back just around the edge to help seal the fabric before you cut it so it won't fray?
Yes, you could put it along the edges to seal the fabric so it won't fray.
Crystal I used Black duct tape in one of my Diamond paintings and on a wall with tacks and the tape lifted and the middle caved out. What do you suggest? It was a massive Diamond Art!
I used to use duct tape and had the same problem..it's so frustrating. That's when I started to use the cloth tape, it's super sticky and rarely lifts off. I also found that it was easier to place and didn't warp like the duct tape did 😀
When you do the mod podge do you have to be careful not to get it on exposed canvas in artwork like the tree you have done?
I find that the mod podge dries clear so it doesn't matter if you get it on the rest of the canvas. I don't really worry about being too careful with it. And I only do one coat so isn't visible when it dries.
Your “see-through” Washi tape? Did you think about applying 2 layers?
Thank you so much!!■□■□
I did mine with cloth tape and they looked great - until the next day when it was coming off. Don't seem to stick to the back. I am debating trying to glue it on or just leaving it without a border. Not worth the effort if not displaying them.
*Hello, I'm your 470th Thumbs up. I didn't know there was a Modge Podge Brush. Where did you find it & what Department? I'm New here watching. I'm New to Diamond painting and I'm addicted and trying to learn all I can. 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC
Thank you! 🥰 I got the Mod Podge and brush from Craftonline here in Australia. Should be available in stores that stock Mod Podge in other countries. Thanks for watching 😀
@@crystalcraftswithdee *Thank you So Very Much. I want to get a world clock so I know what time it is everywhere that everybody lives. 😊😊😊* Sharon in SC
Hello I did mine with cloth tape and I was very disappointed
that after 5 minutes later it was coming off . Are all cloth tape the same ?
Any ideas what to do , as I like how it looks with the black border. X
Hi, I had the same problem with one brand of cloth tape. The one that I use now is actually too sticky, once it sticks it doesn't come off. I use the Bear brand which is available in Australia, not sure if you can get it in other countries.
Is there anything you do to get them ready before you seal them?
I use a toothbrush to brush away any debris or wax on the drills and then I use a roller to make sure all the drills are nice and flat on the canvas. Then I seal it.
Excellent work. Bye for now Dee.
Thank you 🥰
So what happens if you frame is not exactly the same size as the diamond painting?
I usually tape the canvas to the backing board in the frame using the cloth tape, or I don't tape at all and cut black cardstock and add that to the sides to make it bigger.
Anybody in Canada able to find that Black Cloth Tape? Where at?
Dee do you have different colour tapes?
I have different colour washi tapes, and just black in the cloth tape.
I love that cat. Where did you get it?
I got it from OneDaySaving 😀
What about sealant that's used for diamond painting
I use Mod Podge Super Gloss to seal my diamond paintings. It dries clear and doesn't take away the sparkle.
For the second method I use colored card stock on double sided tape
That works great too 😀
💯💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
hi.where u get them from beautful.
Hi, these diamond paintings were from OneDaySaving, Diamond Dotz and Gbfke. The cloth tape was from the hardware store and washi tape from craft stores. 😀
Do you not add a frame?
Not always, I wish I had enough room to frame most of them.
I would copy of diamond color on the back if one your would off
How much did you pay for your fancy washy tape?
I bought it at KMart, I think it was around $4 for a pack of 8 different colours.
Washi tape did not work for me. Did not cover up numbers and too thin.
I'm finding some washi tapes are too thin as well, depends on the brand I think.
I do not understand why they put the graphics on the side? It makes it so difficult!
The floating hands is creepy
