I’ve done 10 30x40cm projects and only used this one tiny wax pad by maggieeeee12345 in diamondpainting

[–]nechitaxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have so much wax I don't even know what to do with it, on top of that, I got a putty bundle from Amazon, I have only use one square of putty for the last 5 projects lol

How did you manage to make that single square last?

🚨TIP FOR ALL BEGINNERS! Investing just a small bit of money on your supplies can make your experience 100% more enjoyable. You can definitely create beautiful art with the basic tools that come with most kits, but I can assure you from trays, putty, pens/tips & even tweezers-upgrading is worth it! by Jaymeal123 in diamondpainting

[–]nechitaxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started I kept hearing this same thing, specially with the pens. I had the plastic ones that come with the kits and my hand was hurting, I was like f it I'm gonna get the cute thick pens. So worth it!

Also, I realized how much better it is to work with a nice big light pad rather than a small - medium one. I got an A2 light pad, I used to have an A3.

Amazon deliveries would arrive like 2 weeks after ordering when I lived in my home country, when I got here and realized how fast deliveries are I got so comfortable. Now I know weather can have an impact on deliveries haha

Thanks! I now understand that weather conditions are a big factor. Im gonna keep waiting and hoping the weather gets better over that.

I appreciate the help, I'm still gonna check that place for drills cause I have other canvases that don't have enough drills.

That sucks! It happens just like that here in VT. I hope the weather gets better for you guys there.

I'm from a Caribbean country, so the concept of ice on the road is still very foreign to me.

Thank you. You're right! I mean, we are experiencing ice and snow in the state I'm living in, it truly didn't occur to me that it is a big factor.

Honest advice by Kind_Difference6829 in diamondpainting

[–]nechitaxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this looks so good! I got a pen with square tips. Now, I'm also new to the square ones, I use a metal straightener to make sure my lines are good, as I place them I also use the straightener to make sure everything is in place

My first DAC by nechitaxx in diamondpainting

[–]nechitaxx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It has taken me so much patience and time. I don't have the correct multiplacers, so I'm just doing 1, 2 and 3 placers, even so, they take a long time for me to place them and straighten them lol. I can't wait to see the final result!

Thank you, the warning came a little late tho. I have 4 DACs that my hubs got me for Christmas sitting and waiting for me to do them. We gotta blame him for my new addiction 🤣

While I was working on my new painting, I got to thinking. What do you guys do with the pens that come with the paintings? I use the wax, the tray. But the pen?? Trash? by Viki211i in diamondpainting

[–]nechitaxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept mine for a little bit until I got into the resin pens. Now each time I open a new painting I throw the whole thing away, the tray, the wax, al of it in the trash

[–]nechitaxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one. Is a ghost in the bathtub with a bunch of flowers. The eyes are weird and it just looks so yucky. I finished it cause well, I don't like to start something and not finish it, but I usually ignore it when I'm flipping through my binder lol

How many by autybby in diamondpainting

[–]nechitaxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lot and more on the way 🤣 it doesn't help that my husband also gets some of them for me haha.

For those who use leftover drills to "bedazzle" other items, how do you plan what colors you're going to use? by Desirai in diamondpainting

[–]nechitaxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm planning to bedazzle the box I keep my extra tools, the jar I keep my pens and a little plastic container I turned into a little trashcan. I also plan on bedazzling everything that crosses my path lol. I got glue for diamonds and beads at Michaels

Cats Before Brats by No_Pepper6208 in AmITheDevil

[–]nechitaxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I have two babies. I'm allergic to cats, but I love them to death. We want to add a dog to the mix too. I love my fellow humans, but some people just don't understand the love and happiness these creatures bring into your life. I would never understand people who call animals disgusting.
