A good tip that I use the whole time is that if you get two flat magnets and put one under the canvas and one on top it helps with holding back the plastic

I just started too. I bought some a year and a half ago as gifts. I bought one for myself on Temu. I paid. $1.79 for the kit. I love it. I bought more, of course. I quilt, do counted cross stitch, knit, crochet and now diamond paint. I think that is enough. Of course I bought more kits in Temu. Got a few accessories too.

I absolutely love diamond painting (though I haven't been able to in a long time because of having a baby and such). But watching you do them definitely made me want to find time to get back into it. I have so many different ones I've started and ones I have to do still. All different sizes and diamond shapes. I definitely broke out my newest one and sorted diamonds while watching this video. Also, putting the diamonds into the containers is easier for me with the white thing that holds the diamonds. The one that's not a narrower kind of tip. I open the bag and pour them into that then put it into the organizer. But I'm not sure if that would work for you! Just a tip!

I definitely think that I am going to try that in the future since I did get one of those white ones in all that stuff.

I have essential tremor I had Deep brain stimulation for it. And it worked. Love Temu. Are you still diamond painting? I went in head first in January this year to date I have 400 of them and still buying them. It’s addictive. Loved your video. I still single place because I spend more time adjusting them. They do take time.

@CompletelyMelanie Ай бұрын

What is deep brain stimulation? Was that like a one and done fix? That would be incredible! I still do the diamond paintings often. I love them! I've gotten where I can multi place now. I purchased a separate pen thing with angled heads and that helped tremendously. I just recently purchased a whole bunch more diamond paintings from Temu which you will see on another haul before long.

Let me put it this way it was 3 surgeries I’m right hand so they drilled a hole and put leads electrodes in my brain then 7 days later a battery in my chest and hooked them up after healing they programmed it tremors gone in right hand. 6 weeks later drill a hole in my head same thing hooked it up heal then program. My left hand still tremors you will see this in my videos. Hope this helps. It was worth it

@corriesbooknook Жыл бұрын

YESSS!!! I freakn love diamond painting! Listening to audiobooks and diamond painting is all new level of Zen. For real. To get the drills into the containers, get a silicone funnel. Saves so much time. And a suggestion, what I did was I didn't put anything into a container until after I used that colour. They almost always send a bit more than you need. I've lost whole packages of colours by accidently knocking my tray and the drills fo flying everywhere. Months later, we are still finding random drills. lmao. If you need to buy extra drills, there is a place you can buy them from. I will send you the link.

We are currently flying home from our vacation and during the 1st flight which was 15 hours, I worked on a diamond painting and either watched movies or listened to my audio book. Not sure if I will have the space to do it on the next 2 flights or not but if possible I will.

Me too. My doctor tells me it's known as benign essential tremor. The thing that defines it as not being Parkinson's, from which my father died, is that drinking a pint of beer stops it in its tracks. I was told that cross stitch is a good therapy, so I've taken that up. I also have a diamond painting kit which I haven't started for fear of my son's cats knocking it all over the place. I will now have a go, in between cross-stitch and writing. Thanks for this encouraging video.

My right hand trembles all the time due to cronic pain and I have been doing diamant painting for a little over a year. I also find it a lot easier to use the single pen then a multi placer, but it gets easier to place several at once with practice 😁 For me diamant painting is a wonderful way to get thrugh alot more audiobooks then I used to. For me it is very relaxing to listen to a good book while setting my diamants, slowly progressing with my paintings (am doing a really big one right now 70×40 cm) and will hopefully finish in before the end of febuary 😆
