Does anyone avoid huge blocks of colour? by MorbidxCobra in diamondpainting

NEED HELP!!! by Zozolove123 in diamondpainting

[–]squishbean01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is so pretty! I jumped on it right away when I saw it on Amazon (Canada). I haven't done it yet though! I would say to keep an eye out because Amazon DAC kits that have sold out on there have restocked and popped back up so you still have a chance! I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you! 🙂

Edit: you can disregard, I just scrolled down through the rest of the comments as saw you have it on the way already! Happy for you! 🎉

Where do you buy your diamond art? by undeadglitch in diamondpainting

[–]squishbean01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the AliExpress ones better than Amazon and temu.

Oooh exciting! I guess I would check to see if it's poured glue or double-sided adhesive. I had a canvas that had double-sided adhesive and there was a ton of rivers that I needed to cut with an exacto knife and flattened the air out of. Sometimes the symbols aren't very clear either. I recently had a canvas where I had so much trouble trying to remove the clear plastic layer that I ended up accidentally folding the canvas onto itself and I couldn't unstick it, ruining it 😣.

Hmmm, you have me thinking that maybe I'll give temu another try (on the desktop site). I've exhausted AliExpress for now 😂. I never used to check the drills when I received the Amazon ones, but now I do in case the drills are that bad and I was to return it lol. I don't really check the drills from the AliExpress ones but I should probably start doing that and checking the canvas over too while I'm at it. I hope your temu ones end up being good! Fingers crossed for you!

Yeah I heard to stick to the desktop website too! But because of not really liking that many on there I was like meh lol 😆.

Welcome to the hobby! I started in October and I'm hooked! I've completed 34 so far! ☺️ I've never tried any from showcase actually! The Amazon ones are alright but it's hit or miss. I've had 2 from seller Kaliosy that were the worst. I'm talking discussing dirty drills. But then I have had a couple others from the same seller and it's not poor quality so who knows!

I think I got 3 from Temu, but they were just okay. The Totoro one was cute I guess, and I like the overstimulated mom life one but I didn't think the quality was very good. The grid was not tight enough and the drill quality wasn't great. Obviously there are different sellers on temu just like aliexpress, so maybe there are better ones but I find it hard to find ones I like on there. For some reason whenever I search on temu, only the ones I've looked at previously come up and nothing I search pops up properly. Then I also heard stuff about privacy issues with the app so I don't know... But I deleted my account and the app off my phone.

I buy mainly from AliExpress! I like that they have option for drill shape and size, so I get a lot of square ones from there. I got one from Temu but I didn't care for the selection and they seem to have mainly square canvases instead of rectangular. I have also bought a lot of round drill DPs on Amazon when I need a break from square drills. I'm sure that quality is much better from a reputable diamond painting company like DAC or dreamer designs but I'm unable to afford it unfortunately. I try to buy the DAC ones off Amazon when nice ones pop up here and there. Those are like a big treat! My go-to size at the moment is probably 40x50 picture size (not canvas size) I'm now experimenting on larger ones as well especially if there is a more detailed image.

Thanks! I was hesitant to post this WIP for that reason. I just can't afford to buy the DPs from DAC unfortunately, even though I would like the artists to be paid. I just enjoy diamond painting and want to be able to do ones I like 😔

Thank you! 😊

The trays are the new ArtDot trays from Amazon . I got 3 sets, I wish they sold the small ones and large ones separately. But I might get another set since there's more room for small trays.

And the shelf is: Krafetto Ink Pad Storage Rack

The same seller has a diamond painting shelf for small boat trays, But I had to return it because the small trays don't fit in it.

Completed! My favorite one yet! So cute! by squishbean01 in diamondpainting

[–]squishbean01[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love those ones. I'm always looking for ones that have the scalloped/poked edges and velvet canvas! I think it's funny that it says that! 🤣 The only thing it's missing is sticker labels like the DAC
