It definitely was very small shop oriented as it was more for the want everything crowd. I certainly understand what you’re saying and will look into doing a budget friendly aftermarket accessories video. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Thank you for the nail art wax tip pen advice for ABs. I was worried about using tweezers as I dont think that will be comfortable for me, especially with rounds, but I have several of those wax tip pencils. I will give them a try. And yes I agree that you can get decent stuff from Amazon, Temu, Aliexpress, and the stuff that comes in the kits. I had my friend watch some diamond painting videos to help her better understand what I do and she was asking me if I had all these special storage things, waxes, pens, etc. I'm just starting out, so I am very basic with my items and I honestly prefer to put more of money towards paintings like you do. As long as you have a few pens you like, you will end up with a ton of wax in each painting you get and I dont mind changing the wax out, and you will end up with a ton of trays as well, you are good to go then. I appreciate learning about more expensive items from this video, but yeah it did seem very Etsy-centric not really from a beginner mindset or a person on a budget.

@mouseheadstudios it definitely was based more for the I want everything crowded. I will do a more a budget friendly one in the future.

@@FemaleVsLife I always the storage name was Elizabeth Ward, not Wardens.

I saw someone else do it in a facebook group and decided to try it and oh gosh it is a genius idea.

Oh wow thats a nice stash. Have you tries the de-stash group for Mother Nature? I will x-fingers for you finding her at a reasonable cost! Thanks for sharing.

Me also!!! I crochet too.

Thank you so much watching. I am also a very hard presser and hate having 2 containers for the large canvases

Thank you so much for subscribing I hope you enjoy my content!

The small pens hurt my hands so bad

It would a short video I got two flat cardboard boxes and i stick them in that and the live in under my bed

Finding that perfect putty is so hard especially since it changes so much season to season

Hallo Sweeties! Oh my goodness, you guys! I would die at eighty degrees! We set our thermostat at 65 degrees and it stays all year long, even in the winter. Considering we are only about 50 miles below the Arctic Circle, our furnace and central a/c need to do some heavy lifting. ☺️ I just received my order from Dream Wax today at lunch and almost cried at how awesome that wax is. I had tried another small shop first, and I’m guessing that might be a good one to take outside in the summer as it is super hard. I use a wax pencil for my coated drills, which doesn’t disturb the coating in the least - I am loving it❣️ Besides, I saw the wax box on Yellow Dog’s website and HAD to have it; it fits the block from Dream Wax perfectly! (I purchased mine in the red/gold/purple shifter, which sounds an odd combo, but is STUUUUUUUUNING on this wee box!!!). You asked about other household items that we repurposed, and I have one that I LOVE! Years ago, my hubby’s mom (whom I call Mom as well) gave me a GORGEOUS dark stained wooden tea chest from The Bombay Company. When I received it there were a dozen different kinds of tea, which I drank decades ago, but I could not bring myself to throw it out. When I started diamond painting I grabbed that out of storage, gave it a good cleaning, and it now holds my waxes and putties; I just have to keep my dream wax blocks elsewhere. I find that it is a really good way to see exactly what I have in stock and if anything needs re-ordering. I also use two of the sections to keep my smaller items: one section has cover minders and the other has pen charms that I received in the mystery bags from Enchanted Succulents. It makes a beautiful way for me to store some of these smaller items and keeps me well organized. Because much of the top is glass, the colours of the different waxes adds to the look. Since I used that, I grabbed a wooden trinket box a former boss had made for me. He pieced together all different kinds of wood into a block with resin (much like a pen blank) and then turned and carved this little box and its cover. I use it to hold my various tips and the two pieces look really pretty beside each other. Right now I have a really cheapy little wooden box from Temu holding my pens, but I don’t expect that to last for many amount of time, so I will be keeping my eyes open for something like your pen holder, but in medium to dark tones. Hugs Freon the Northwest Territories, Canada❣️❣️🇨🇦

@chrisgreek4285 I would freeze at 63 brrrrr. Your mom box sounds amazing it is always fun to find a new way repurpose something that is especially dear to our hearts and now you get to see and use it every day that makes my heart feel all mushy. I am so glad you are liking the Dream Wax not only is the product great but the owner is an absolute sweetheart. I got the wax box from yellow dog also in pink course😃 your comment was lovely and made me smile. Thank you for taking the time to share.

I don’t know how equivocal our climates are, but I’m in the Florida panhandle. I have my best luck with the original version of RoseMudd.

⁠@@StaySirenthank you for posting this! I live in Pensacola and everything seems to be finicky for me. I'll try the RoseMudd

I keep mine hanging on curtain rods so I can look through them. I have heard Obrien custom turning has beautiful pens. Definitely on my wish list!!!

Me also hopefully this video will get some new people addicted to all the things Diamond Painting has to offer! 😈

I want all the things! Trying to explain to my husband why you need multiple trays and pens is a bit of a challenge!

@jillbrittingham3011 cause you gotta find the perfect one!

They all look and feel so different

Me also

I make the sheets inside, you can email me for a copy at ditzysdiamondden@gmail.com the binder itself I went to walmart after the start of school when stuff was on sale and bought it there!

Oh what are some of your favorite trays

@DitzysDiamondDen I have so many favorite trays. I love color shifting trays. Shifting from green, blue, and yellow; red yellow; green, blue, and red, to name a few. I also love the trays with paw prints on them.

@marshamerrimon5358 i just my first color shit of orange and pink and it so pretty

@@DitzysDiamondDen That sounds pretty! I love color shifting print. So cool!

@marshamerrimon5358 😎

Puppy what kind? Huge animal lover here! Screw jars take dexterity and I lack that. I am so happy you enjoyed the video and thanks for you for subscribing.

@@DitzysDiamondDen We are getting a Borzoi! Our last two puppies were/are Saluki. Gotta love all those long noses. LOL and yes, my husband looks at our saluki and asks her, "Why the long face?!"

In my playlist for small shops all the links are there. I am always happy to also email you a list with all the links if you would like to reach out to me at ditzysdiamondden@gmail.com. There were so many products not all the links would not have fit in the description.

I have added the links and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you for the feedback.

If you go to the small shop playlists and look at the description for each one they are all there except the amazon ones which I can send you here if you want. If you are unfamiliar with KZfaq and how to get to the descriptions email me at ditzysdiamondden@gmail.com and I can get them all emailed to you all nice and neat. If you do choose that route please give me a day or two to get back to you with the full list though!

Electric companies make me so angry

But a comfortable chair is the best!!!

@@DitzysDiamondDen yes, the dining room chair is from 1965, the seat was redone in 1982. So, I need to redo again.

Oh do you know how to reupholster I looked into doing that once and it looked hard

Is your caregiver a family member? They are there to help you.

@@DitzysDiamondDen my caregiver controls my money. She has done this ever since I gave phisher $90grand. I fell in love with someone I would never Meet. This included buying a wedding gown. Everyone else saw what this man was doing except me. Took Chase Bank threatened to stop doing business with me, and telling other banks not to do business with me. That worked. I shop impulsively, so shopping for Diamond painting is my addiction. Used to be Opioids. This is why my caregiver controls, or tries to control my money.
