The reason why you need more than on, is because sometimes, when you are diamond painting, the tip of the pen starts to distort and it makes it harder to place the diamonds/drills down. So they give you multiple for you to replace the old with.

@Artsy If they are the plastic tips the actual tip distorts over time. There are metal tip pens that hold up better but because the plastic tip pens are significantly cheaper the companies aren't going to ship metal tips in their kits

I don't know if you will see this but another option would be putting your picture under a sheet of glass and putting the adhesive on the glass itself. Then you should be able to cut and remove the excess adhesive easily. It would also leave you with a piece of glass that has beautiful diamond butterflies on it. ☺️

Yes and the glass is so beautiful like that too ❤ I saw a video where a girl played with a frame, using the glass as her DP. She tried an adhesive sheet tape type on one side of the glass & then adhesive glue on another (trial & error & helped her decide how to DP on glass). Her ultimate glass painting, she taped the print to the underside, used adhesive sheet tape for most of the picture, cutting around it when she was finished & then she did the last row or 2 all the way around with adhesive glue bc it left the edges neater & much prettier. She removed the print & framed the final DP & it was absolutely beautiful

It was so fun watching you try diamond painting for the first time! I was one of the designers for the idea books that Leisure Arts produced when Diamond Dotz first introduced their Freestyle program. I experimented with dotting just about everything in the house that didn't move. (Actually, now that I think about it, I did adhere some to my face for fun...) It's such a versatile craft and once you have a wider color range you'll be able to do some really cool shading on large projects. I was freaking out when you tried peeling up the adhesive background. I was yelling at you, "No! Add baby powder to dull the stickiness! You'll never remove it!" but of course, you couldn't hear me (three months later and on the other side of the world). Embossing powder works, too. I have 80 bajillion of the stylus tools, but only ever use one for a project. However, it is very handy having extras out for friends/family to use. I brought a large canvas to a family reunion and 5 or 6 of us would be dotting at the same time. It's also handy if you teach classes.

To be honest, I thought you’d use the whole sticky sheet, then tap some embossing powder on the sticky areas. That way the butterflies fly free and you have what you want as a background. I really liked the end result (diamond painting always reminds me of Greek or Roman mosaics), but I really loved the ombré background you did, pre sticky sheet.

I came to comment the same. Even brushing on some loose chalk with a flurry brush.

I really like the Dream sign, and I think the black background is perfect. The colors show up so nicely with the dark background. Diamond painting is something that I've never tried, but it does look fun. I would love to see you do more diamond coloring. With your talent, there's no limit to where you can take it. Thanks for sharing your video!

I've been doing kit diamond paintings for almost two years now and I think I can count the number of times that I've spilled my diamonds on one hand. Only one of those resulted in any real loss of diamonds or a mess that took more than five minutes to clean up. The way that I did this is that I have a little 8in tin tray (I won't say what kind but you can buy it at a 'head' shop ;] ) with a silicone mat in it that prevents the tray from moving around around. This prevents smaller spills from bumps to the table, and any spills that do make it tend to go right into the tray for easy cleaning. As a bonus, it's also where I keep my supplies when they're put away- my spare sheets of covering for the sticky parts, my extra pink glue, my pens, etc. I think you had two ways to accomplish the butterfly project closer to the way you originally envisioned it. I've only ever made kits before (with printed color-by-number style) but it seems to me that you could have started with the paint-on adhesive (which you already picked up on and eliminated for your own reasons- totally get that), or you could have used either embossing powder or even some fine glitter or something on the parts of the sheet adhesive that you didn't want covered. Lastly, these are all Round style diamonds (Maybe DD brand only does these? Unsure.) but Square diamonds present a whole new side to diamond painting. They're a bit smaller and line up perfectly in their own grid when you use them. They also create a satisfying little "click" when you place them, moreso than the round ones, which can be appealing. Because the squares fit more perfectly than the rounds, you don't have gaps that show the paper behind your project and you don't have to think as much about keeping DIY designs in an orderly grid- it happens automatically. The downside is that more organic shapes are much harder to achieve, like trying to make a round shape in pixel art. The butterflies are more suited to the rounds, as are all smaller designs. If you wanted to make a poster sized picture, the squares might give you a more polished, finished effect. (But they'll take much longer, too!)

The "dream" and the coloring page turned out so good ! That's cool of you to show us the struggles that come with doing all king of art ! Thanks to people like you, I feel less like quiting and burning the all s**t when I spill my water-paint all over my desk, my art, myself and the floor. It adds a kind of connivance to these moments, it makes them less painful and more "fun" haha

I have done a few DP kits and you have just given me some ideas about what to do with the left over diamonds. I could also see drawing out a pattern/picture on an art canvas which would be sturdier than paper. the light pad is really handy for kits where the picture is grid laid out - it helps you to clearly see the symbols that are printed on the fabric.

You could have cut out the butterflies from the page you used the sticky layer on, and paste them on a duplicate page where you have done the background on. You will loose some paper, but Imho, it will be the easiest to do. I really like the sign you did with the gradient. Something I might attempt myself.

I’ve been seeing some people using washi tape around the edges of their completed projects. I imagine this works best on larger projects especially the kits with straight edges.

Oh my gosh!! Diamond painting is my first obsession! I love the different projects that you did! Spills and finding dots everywhere is a regular occurrence!!

I love the diamonds over the black background, it makes the colors pop, much better than over a white background.

I love anything glittery, shiny, sparkly so Diamond Doting is really right up my alley. I love it. Glad to see you do a video on it also.

I like the fact you painted the word "Dream" in black. It adds a little drama to the project. I'm also glad you filled the entire page of butterflies with dots, it looks much nicer. And yes, I have spilled my dots in the past. Great job.

I have done about 10 projects with diamond painting and I do love it. I am not an artist but this makes me feel free to experiment as I can just remove the portion that I don't like and start over.

The dream sign turned out great and really popped on the black background, the gradient was perfect 👌

Thanks for sticking through with your projects, they all turned out great. I especially enjoyed the sped up video of the diamonds being placed.

Diamond painting is so relaxing!!! Check out some vids to find companies to order from. I prefer the Chinese companies cuz the are cheap and look great. They also have a wide selection of "special drills" which are even funer(?) which I didn't think was possible. DIYDigital Art, Coohaul, GBFKE are a few to check out. Diamond Dots are expensive and your not sure if you like yet. So relaxing and ya get a sparkly pix at the end. What's not to like!!! 😜

You did a great job. I enjoyed watching the video very much. Yes I have flipped my diamonds so many different times when creating a project. I flipped them up in the air and on to the floor. I really love it when they get flipped onto the project itself and you have to pick up/off all the ones that don't belong....

I just wanted to pause and say that i actually like the black behind the duamond dots for your Dream sign. The overall look reminds me of tile mosaics, which i think are so beautiful!

Those projects turned out awesome!! I’d love to see you do more. I’ve been diamond painting for years and love it.

The spill comes with the love for the feel of the drill😊,it happens .But I love your Beautiful Mistakes. It looks beautiful 😍🤩

Very fun. Happy you enjoyed the finish piece.

I like the black background on the letters, I think it makes the colors stand out even more, wish I had the imagination to mix the colors like you did, beautiful, giving me idea on stuff I could do with my extra diamonds

Wow! Absolutely love the coloring page and Dream lettering!

im so glad you enjoyed the process, it is very relaxing and your projects were beautiful, especially the stars on the shoes!!

I love how these turned out, and now I have an idea on what to do with my bags of leftover diamonds!

I have wanted to try diamond painting for awhile and I love the idea of creating your own. Its almost like drawing on a grid and then the design is revealed as a whole. I love it. The friendship bracelet is cute as well so you can do names and all custom things. Thanks for saying yes and sharing this product.

I enjoyed the video and thank you for making it real by adding what made you frustrated. It is good to see that the professionals like yourself also have struggles with new projects. I really love how the Dream project came out. It is inspiring me to create a project for my new craft room using diamond art (which I had never heard of before this video!)

Wow what a creative way to use left over drills! The butterfly is amazing. I like the black showing in Dream it really makes the colours pop. Tombow aqua glue would be great to cover the glue and show off that amazing background. I use it on diamond crafts all the time, if its flexible it will crack and peel but something flat it really works well.

Never thought to dot coloring pages! I also appreciate the idea of using kneaded eraser to hold back the protective film as you work. I’m an egg artist & dot eggs all the time! Thank you for sharing!

My very first diamond painting was gnome Christmas ornaments. That kit came with some very fine glitter. The directions were to sprinkle the glitter on the ornaments to coat the adhesive that didn't get covered with drills. It turned out gorgeous!

I think you did a great job on all three projects with the diamond painting. I have never seen anyone do projects like that before when it comes to diamond painting.

They are all very good love the colouring page idea. I was thinking of doing that with my left over drills as I have plenty of colouring books. Thank you for sharing and take care 😁

I’m glad you tried this. I have a diamond painting i still need to finish, my first one I’ve ever done, but I guess I didn’t realize how easy it could be to actually customize your own painting. I knew it was a thing, but I didn’t realize the useful products like the sandwich adhesive. I’m definitely going to diamond paint some coloring pages one day. I thought people had to create their own grid designs for a custom one.

Your video inspired me to give Diamond Dots a go! The kit they sent looks A-mazing!!

I have found that diamond painting is the most therapeutic for reducing stress and anxiety. I have maintained that all along and until last week didn't realize how much when I came home from a really really shitty day I pulled out a small project that I was working on and just started doing it immediately I felt all the stress leaving my body.

I love diamond printing and your projects are great. I would love to see more.

I do diamond painting kits (started during the pandemic as a stress reliever) and have a lot of leftover diamonds. I love your "Dream" sign and think I will do something like that with them. My thought for the multiple placers is that you could use the kit with a group of people and it would be helpful to have extras.

Loved it with the background being done….. Beautiful thank you very much!

These are absolutely gorgeous

Awesome projects, thank you for sharing your time, space and skills. I would really like to see more videos featuring "Diamond Adventures!" Your endings are always so stunning in your classroom. Really liked the coloring page. They all came out nice.

I suggest covering the butterflies with your diamonds then covering the background with glitter, that way the adhesive has something covering it other than diamonds and you can seel the glitter in when you're done

“Ahh… there’s diamonds everywhereee” my favorite line in it. Haha. I had the idea to reuse the diamonds I had but it never happened. This has given inspiration however. Pretty cool projects to do. I don’t know if I would know what colors to put down but then again I do love painting and experimenting so if you could do it. Maybe it’s worth a try too

The butterflies page look amazing!!! I know you you said you didn't like the colors of the background, but it definitely made the butterflies pop out more. Lovely!!!

I like the black background on the dream sign looks amazing.

I love the Dream sign, I never done freestyle, but I would either cover the areas in between the butterflies with glitter instead of stones, maybe an iridescent or clear glass glitter so you can see the details, or I would cut out the butterflies and restick in on a non sticky background

I love all of this!

The page turned out great! I started diamond Painting beginning of 2020. I love it, it's so fun and relaxing. In the beginning I did knock over my diamonds a lot, but more I I diamond painted the less clumsy I got. I also learn not to have too many in my dish. I would love to see more coloring with diamonds.

I love diamond painting - I have to try this!

Spilling the diamonds from diamonds dot kits has happened to me quite often and can be quite a task to clean up especially when they get all over in the carpet of my room!

Love the Dream stand its so so pretty after the drills were on well done .

This was so fun to watch! I really felt your frustration!!!

It's easy, relaxing, helps me keep creative, and, easy to stop and start. I would recommend when you feel up to it. Take care and have fun!!! I hope you start feeling better.

as a diamond art painter yes it does take a lot of time to do all this and i have tried where the diamonds are on the sheet in the tray so it doesn't end up falling off
