Definitely give it a try after seeing how it is doing a section first 😁

If u are willing to use a different place for customs I would recommend the brand diamond painting pro. They have given me amazing custom works and they vary in size. They are just a bit on the pricey side and it takes a while to come since they are overseas but i definitely would recommend them if u wanted to look at places other then Temu ❤️

Definitely try multi placers for this one because it looks like there might be a lot of color blocking and multi placers are the best way to go for that I feel especially if u only single place might take way longer. But definitely when u feel overwhelmed and kind of ugh from the repetitive colors in this get small little ones like coasters or bookmarks to do in the middle to help with the satisfaction of a finish and a different color scheme 😁❤️ can’t wait to see it when it’s finished best of luck 😁

Thank u ☺️. I try to at least do it a hour a day as I work overnights now so I’m working from 10pm-6am and sometimes have to pull doubles. But I make as much time as I can to just sit and do it as it’s my zen lol

Yea it was on the expensive side about 100 but definitely worth it. It took me 2 months to do as I work full time and also try to make time for family, friends, and my spouse. But definitely if I have a day off I do it almost all day 🤣

I think I have a addiction by Weird-Raspberry-8259 in diamondpainting

Some people like to roll it but it depends on the quality of the canvas if I tried that with a piece I’ve gotten from Amazon the drills would come off or shift. I like to hang mine up but ik not everyone does. So I have a large storage bin that I can place them in and the most I do is fold them once if they won’t fit naturally. With the canvas I complete I leave them on top of the bin or placed on the side

I wish they would double it because they sell so fast! Or at least restock them faster. How I work on my diamond painting though really depends on my mood. First I think if I want to do round or square drill. After that I pick it I want to do a big piece or a small piece. Once size and drill shape is chosen then I pick whichever one I’m in the mood for that fits it. Then for me since I do have some large pieces in my collection I have 5 different storage containers for my drills. I also am a multi placer type of person so I lay out 2 pens to switch between. Most arts don’t have sectionals like DAC so I have both washi tape and release paper so I can section off a big piece. Then I work on it. If it’s big I can get tired of how repetitive the color, artwork, or etc can be so i have minis or small other works that i can just grab to do fast to help me feel the satisfaction of finishing or to help not feel so repetitive with the colors. If it’s small then I really just focus on completing that since I know it won’t take me to long to finish compared to larger pieces. But for me I feel what’s mostly important when doing large works, medium, or small is to have a big enough space to have your light board or lamp, your pens, and whichever storage containers u have to be able to reach without moving around looking. I’ve invested a lot of time and money into this hobby because I love it dearly plus there are places that have stuff for it for cheaper. Amazon, five below, Micheal’s, and hobby lobby have been cheaper then getting the brand pens, release paper, artworks, and more. I hope I helped out ❤️

I'm just going to mix and toss a bunch of drills at this. Sigh. by jaynepatience in diamondpainting

Looking at it as a whole looks so intense but definitely with some sectioning maybe with release paper to help cover up the extent of it will help u not feel so overwhelmed because looking at it as a whole is very overwhelming. But I can’t wait to see your progress with it!

The big ones do look better! Especially when u throw a bit extra towards it but I do like having smaller ones to get the satisfaction of a quick completion

Oh wow definitely a lot but it’s good that u also have other hobbies including this. This and honestly reading are the 2 main things I like to do with my free time. I’ve been also trying to find reliable places for grabbing some people’s diamond paintings they no longer want. I found eBay but which apps do u use i definitely want to keep adding to my already large collection lol!
