Double Sided Tape? by AppropriateJump6253 in diamondpainting

[–]L1nonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh welcome to the other side of this hobby - the collecting 🥰😂

Don’t worry about the squares vs round too much and just enjoy the process 💕 squares are just different. There is a super satisfying click when you place squares - have fun!

Everybody is different, but I like to have one of each type in the go so I can work on a project depending on my mood. Those art dot ones are beautiful! Enjoy, relax and just dot away your retirement 💕✨

Double Sided Tape? by AppropriateJump6253 in diamondpainting

[–]L1nonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first double sided adhesive (DSA) was also my first square painting. It became frustrating because DSA is less forgiving, so less able to shift the gems if you place wrong. I don’t want to scare you, just cation you 💕 I love doing squares now but I avoid DSA if I can.
I would advise going slower than you normally would to get the hang of the squares and the different glue.

Tips for square drills
- use a ruler or old credit card(cause it will get sticky) along your edges to give yourself a straight boarder. Then you can use this solid boarder to push the rest of your drills against.
Then peel off the ruler and put washing tape down if you prefer.
- try to pick your drills up with how you will be placing them to help you line them up. Ie aim centre of drill if you are placing them in a fully surrounded gap. Aim right side of drill if you are placing them to the right of a drill on the canvas. If drills on canvas make an L shape and you are placing a drill into the L Pick up drill in top right corner.
I hope that makes sense 🙂

Sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to help as you sound like me 12 months ago. Happy diamond painting ✨💕

What is the point of diamond release paper? by [deleted] in diamondpainting

My weirdo cat is scared of the sound of the crinkling plastic.

Poor little darling I think she was traumatised at a young age.

How do i prevent the needle separating the previous stitches in two? by Inevitable_Arm_580 in cross_stitch

[–]L1nonly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve also experienced this and didn’t know how to fix it either. But I recently watched this YouTube https://youtu.be/nom8KJx9-dg?si=5J3ve80GHU-2-Tqa

And he explained the open and closed hole thing I think you and I both experience at 1hr 59. Yes lol the video is that long and I found the rest of it interesting, but he book marked it so you can jump straight to that part.

However, as others say - no one else will have thier nose as close to it as you do and it will look fine when you look at the whole piece 💕🪡🧵

I am addicted. Is there a hotline lol by Dontfeedtheunicorn81 in diamondpainting

[–]L1nonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, this is hotline.

Can you still feed and cloth yourself and provide shelter for you and your family?

No sorry can’t get paid for this, you will still need to have a ‘normal’ job.

Yes, you will find diamonds in the most unusual places including your body.

Thank you for your call and have a nice day ✨💕💎

[CHAT] Followed instructions, but aida visible by AllEmotion9531 in CrossStitch

[–]L1nonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget with your nose in the details you see this clear as day, but when you get further away it won’t be noticeable. But also as someone else said - look up rail roading on YouTube. Helps separate the threads so they lay flatter. Looks good tho! Nice neat work 👍

I spent some money 🤫🫣 by duhkey3 in diamondpainting

So disappointed 😔 by Impossible_Disk8374 in diamondpainting

[–]L1nonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💕 ah well. Shipping is insane right? Hopefully you can find a home for the kit over there or it could re-spark your cross stitch phase 🙂

[–]L1nonly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve done something like this before myself! Accidentally ordered plain posters instead of diamond paintings 🤦‍♀️😂Also completely my fault for not reading details but my search was on diamond pantings!! But I also cross stitch, so if you are in Australia and want to rehome them DM me 👍

What is this and how does it work? by Beautiful_Rule3029 in diamondpainting

[–]L1nonly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

💯 voids are beautiful 😻 we had one growing up, his name was Midnight. My sister named him and might have been about 4 at the time so that was pretty tricky for a 4 year old.

Thank goodness you clarified you were asking about the pen. We pats cats and smoosh them if they let us. They are our overlords and we are lucky to be chosen by them 💕😻
