It is nice to see your face! I am relatively new to DPing as I began in April 2022. I have completed three small projects and am now on my first larger painting. I have six in my stash. I have been trying different DP companies to find one I really like as far as legal art, quality kits, round vs square, and price. I found your tutorials early in my journey and I find you to be one of my favorites. You have a calming voice, nice video style, and are just a pleasure to watch. Great job!! Thanks for all you do in the DPing community!!

It been a little over a year since I started diamond painting and the way I wish I knew about tutorial for diamond painting. Man I was so confused and afraid of my 1st DP canvas. It was awful. At the time i didn't know about legally and un legal kits. I have since learned and only buy legally licensed ones now. This would have been such a great tutorial video for me when I first got into the craft. Thank you so much.

It has been ages since I thought about diamond painting. I was an avid fan and collector. Well, here I am once more. It is a very relaxing habit I must add. I went to the store you mentioned in a previous video you posted that I watched yesterday and signed up! Why not I say. A majority of my previous purchases was Ali Express and must say they had some great stores there, but I decided to shop on this continent.

A tip I have to help flatten your canvas is to peel back the film on top and bottom about 2 inches and lay it back down. It will be flat immediately. 😊 this works really well with square drill complete canvases

What is a square drill painting

@Kai-el7rw 11 ай бұрын

Doing my first Square Diamond painting now. The diamonds are smaller, so there is MORE. A lot more. I find I get straighter rows doing the checkerboard rather than multi placing. But then I don’t like multi painting with round diamonds either. So far, other than there are a lot more more diamonds, I don’t have any other problems with square diamonds.

Thank you so much for your diamond video. I brought me a kit from Amazon with no instructions, so I peeled off the whole film, and started with the ears. I was wondering why the pen wouldn’t pick up the diamonds so I used the tweezers to do the ears. But thank god I turned to u tube and saw you, what a big help you were. Now I know how to use the pen with the wax. And I peeled off the whole plastic paper, it was hard to take off. So now that it’s back on the canvas, I can do it the easy way and start from the end and not the middle 😂. Thank you again Rose ❤

Thank you for this Video & all the others that I have been watching, they have truly helped. Please keep doing videos, love them, so easy to follow, love that you have done the work & educating/ helping others to make it easier to enjoy the ART of Diamond Painting. I began my first Diamond Painting 6/9/22 (small one 1st) to see if I like it & I was so surprised how relaxing & satisfying. I set up my kit & put tape around my canvas, did a small section, it was so easy to start and putting drills down, at first single tip, but I am practicing using my multi-placers make the process faster. I am so excited to continue & finish my canvas. Then I will tackle my 2nd diamond painting from Diamond Art Club: Butterfly Kiss 9.4"x 9.4" (Small) again until I get confident & get a larger canvas. Thank you so much for the love & attention you give to your followers. Love Wanda :)

Even though Nightmare Before Christmas is my total favorite collection of everything, I figured since I have 4 of the same Maybe… just maybe I’ll get them all done by Christmas and can gift them to my most important loved ones 😊!!! 🤞🤞🤞Your directions were perfect clear and concise and very easy to follow. Before I knew it I had five rows of one color done in a corner are ready in like 15 minutes. So I think I’m well on my way. Hopefully I’ll remember to upload my finished product to you but wanted to let you know thank you for your guidance. If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve probably taken a lot longer to get started on my projects. 👍🙏❤
