Just a quick tip. When I am putting the stickers from DAC on my containers, I just peel back the long strip a bit and only cut the sticker part. It save time and I don't have to mess around with pulling off each individual sticker.

Hi, for the stickers on the pots : don’t cut each one at a time. Peel of the sticker a bit first and then cut the sticker it’s much easier.

Yeah, I have found that the "full to bursting" DAC bags easily fill two of those size bottles up to where the threading starts, so usually label up another bottle to split them. That's harder to do with the large number of colours you have with this painting, most of mine have been 35ish colours, so there's plenty of bottles left to split bags in a 60 bottle case. The case with the larger bottles with the opaque lids will take one of those full to bursting bags all in one, so I save that case for my DACs.

Opinion. If you peel the backing back and cut what you need, using a finger to stick it to, leaving the backing whole.... maybe that will be quicker than peeling each tiny bit!!??. I absolutely love this DP. Can't wait!

Hi I really enjoyed this kit up, for me I just number my pots 1 to whatever and go numerically, I find it sooo much easier to do that way, and when I fill one of my pots with those full to bursting bags I use my tictac storage containers for the extra beads and store any extra bags in my green zip up bag in my storage unit and number it with a smaller round label with the corresponding number to my pot i just filled. Makes it much more cohesive for me

When I do diamond art club paintings, I cut the sticker sheet with my scissors. I cut just the sticker part (leaving the yellow backing) between the the dmc & the number. This leaves you a tab so you can do like with your sticker maker.

I start peeling the sticker back just slightly more than the number and then cut off the sticker with the number I need. Then peel the backing some more, cut number, peel back, cut number, and so on. Basically the backing never is cut thus making it easier to separate each sticker. Goo Gone the scissors. I hope this make sense.

@TigressUnicorn 3 жыл бұрын

I've started my first DAC painting recently and used the Elizabeth Ward system. I kept the 1-51 numbers on the stickers but placed it so that they were on the side and only the symbol/dmc number was viable on the top. I've been able to re-arrange into letter/number order, but it should (hopefully) be easy to put back the right way when I come to de-kit without having to deal with the dmcs (it would take me so much longer to rearrange numbers in the 100s or 1000s).

@addmorezest 3 жыл бұрын

@BBMc107 2 жыл бұрын

I prefer my sticker maker, too. I can cut the sticker paper, but have the excess backing to hold onto. Perhaps, keep the 1-51 attached and scissor it off. Then cut the symbols through, but not all the way through the excess backing. Hmmm. I will try that next time.

Hi Rebecca, been watching you for a while now.. congrats on your 10k milestone. When it comes to put on sticker, i usually cut the sticker with cutter slightly, you know like when you cut the plastic cover on your canvas without cutting the canvas. That way, for me, it is easier to peel the sticker because you still have something to grip on. I hope you get what i mean 😅

@kimberlysmith9707 3 жыл бұрын

Oh no! Don’t cut the 1-51 off! If you trim it with the 1-51 attached to the symbol and DMC, you can peel back the sticker paper (keep the symbol and DMC sticker backing on), then cut off the numbers. This way you have some of the sticker backing together and you can cut between the numbers and peel off the stickers easier and not have the bitty trash pieces.

There is a way to deal with the stickers,I have seen a video on fb,can't find it so I will try to explain. If you leave a bit more of the sticker paper on one side of the colour strip,peel that side and cut the sticky up to the number,leave the yellow backing uncut. That way on one side your yellow backing will be wider than the sticker strip itself. Then you can cut between the colours,cutting only through the sticky,still leaving the extra yellow backing. Then you have something to hold on and easy peel the separate numbers. That way the strip also holds together. Hope it makes sense and will help someone xx

What do you do with the leftover drills if it´s only a few diamonds left after a project is done (under ten or so)? Do you throw them away or put them in a bag with other leftovers with the right DMC - number or colour? I am asking because I am not sure if it´s worth it to save just ten diamonds for example, if they are the only one in that DMC- number in my spares. I am saving the one with lots of diamonds in it. When I watching your breakdown videos, you have a lots of diamonds left after a project. I have never seen that you puts any diamonds away. Whats your thoughts about this?

@addmorezest 3 жыл бұрын

I'd save them if less than 10. I have a bag ready for each colour and if/when I've ran out, it's never many that I need to finish. Those 10 might be all that's needed.

She had “Mama Knows Best” by Mandie Manzano and there were issues with the square drills. DAC came out with the issues later, but it was frustrating for Rebecca. Personally, I have not had issues, but I only started diamond painting in July.
