Such a detailed and informative video! I totally agree with your double first place choices! Something tells me you are a perfectionist which I can very much relate to! Thank you for posting this ❤️
Thank you, Susan! I just want to know what I pay $$$ for - as long as the kit is of a high quality (which includes canvas/drill quality, with a poured glue) and the kits turn out detailed, I am definitely ready to be working on such kits.
Thank you sooo much. There are so many different painting companies. I am a perfectionist & really want my first painting to look good enough to hang immediately as it will be a gift.
Thank you so much Nat for making this video. As the craft becomes more popular and companies are listening to what their customers want, many are upgrading their kits frequently, so it's nice to have a recent review of what the best ones out there are! I loved what you said about artist vs. computer rendering of the images, this is the most important thing in my mind too! I wondered why all my small DACs looked amazing when much larger canvases from other companies were not so impressive. I'd love to see a video about which companies have artist renderings. Thanks again!
I enjoyed listening to you about each one of the companies. I have ordered from Amazon, which wasn’t bad diamonds paintings. I have a diamond dotz which is beautiful . I just finished this small diamond painting from TEMU, didn’t look like the picture. You definitely get what you pay for. I have just ordered one diamond painting from DAC. I am looking forward to doing this diamond painting. I have a lot of friends that will only order from DAC. I will look forward to seeing more of your videos.thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Anna Maria! The brands do matter in diamond painting more than the stores they are bought from and for now, these are the brands that have the best quality dps. I'm very happy you got a kit from DAC - their items are exceptional! I'm sure you will enjoy working on their designs☺️
I would give Diamond Art Club first place over Diamond Dots just for what they include in each kit. Both kits give you wax, a stylus, a tray, and of course the drills. But DAC also includes washi tape that you can use to frame the piece and to section off work areas, both of which will help you keep you lines neat. the second thing DAC includes that DD doesn't are multi-placers so that you can place up to four drills at once. DAC also includes a sticker that matches the color key for each drill color, which is really nice if you want to work from baggies (also included!) or a bead storage system. With their square drill kits, DAC also gives you a pair of tweezers to help you move/remove drills if needed.
Very good, informative video. You always present facts in such an understandable way. Thank you for the research you did to bring us this video. PS I love the beautiful background music ❤
Thank you, Cathy! I hope this video will help people understand what to look for in a diamond painting kit when purchasing since there's so much choice nowadays but very few have the crucial criteria to make it a pleasure to work on and get an amazing, detailed result.
Thank you so much for doing this, it’s so helpful, I’m in the uk so I’m not sure which kits I could get apart from diamond dozt. Do you recommend sealing them as I’m reluctant to do so, but if it’s recommended then I shall do so. I’m working on my first piece from diamond dots which is the peacock 💗
Thank you! Crystal Art kit / Craft Buddy (2nd place in my rating) is a British company. They are amazing! Diamond Art Club ships internationally for free with 75$ purchase. As to the sealing - no. I never seal kits since they loose the individual sparkle of the drills. I frame them behind the glass.
I cant seem to get out the creases in my diamond dots one, therfor personally i think DAC has better canvas material, also my diamond dots canvas frays 🙈 but I agree its personal preference
I am not sure what you mean by "I can't find the shape of the diamonds"? Could you please elaborate? I usually purchase Diamond Dotz kits from Michael's, Joann, MaryMaxim, Hobby Lobby both online & physical stores.
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. All the drills come with the kit. If you need AB diamonds or crystals, you can purchase them separately from Aliexpress
The cross? It is from Diamond Dotz, I think I got it at Michaels or Joann. Here is a link to a detaild post review of this kit ruclips.net/video/id-3HwkhvyQ/видео.html
@@DiamondPaintingbyNat thank you so much! Just checked and they don’t sell it anymore :( that was perfect, exactly what I was looking for but i was too late in finding it

@@DiamondPaintingbyNat You are very welcome Nat! I have done a few diamond paintings from them and have liked them all . They are a family owned business. They also have very good customer service. Hope you like them. 😊👍🏻
I am sure i will! It looks like they customize their paintings with different drill types (resin, AB and crystals) and their kits have all 5 criteria that make a high quality diamond painting!
@catgranny hi, I'm sorry, I just saw your message. I tried only 1 of their kits. It looks nice, not sure if they hand render their kits though. As far as I know they ran out of business, unfortunately.
What i like about diamond art club is they show you what it will look like finished so you know what to expect. Helps me avoid pieces i personally dont find appealing

I prefer Diamond Art Club because I don’t like rounds.

My pleasure! Go with DAC or Diamond Dotz and you will have a great finished result along with enjoyable process.
This is exactly what I was hoping to find! Thank you for your detailed video and for the great recommendations!
I'm so glad the information shared in the video was helpful! Thank you, Chris!

Thank you, Marilyn! I hope to find out the names of more companies that designer render their kits in the future.
I just bought my first kit and it was diamond dots. I did good without even knowing it.
Great!

Where do you find diamond dotz? I just got my very first, I can't find the shape of the diamonds or where I can get more. Can you help me this?

Yes, they are fasit shape on top and flat bottom
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. All the drills come with the kit. If you need AB diamonds or crystals, you can purchase them separately from Aliexpress

I like Diamond Dotz and Diamond Art Club the best. I also like Craftibly but I have had some gapping with their square drills.
Thank you, Lisa ! Never heard of Craftibly, I will definitely check it out!
Ordered from Craftibly! Thank you so much for mentioning this store , Lisa!

Thank you ! Tinmy Arts on Aliexpress - the link is in the description box below the video
@@DiamondPaintingbyNat Thank you!
How does the brand Craftibly measure up using your criteria? Thank you!
@catgranny hi, I'm sorry, I just saw your message. I tried only 1 of their kits. It looks nice, not sure if they hand render their kits though. As far as I know they ran out of business, unfortunately.
If you have not tried her out Bella sepahina art designs she's got very unique and absolutely gorgeous stuff 😃
Thank you! I am looking into it but there is no design that I like yet.
Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching!
Thank tou for this info
Thank you!
Can you buy these in the uk
Diamond art club ships worldwide. As to Diamond Dotz - I'm not sure but you can always go to these companies website and check.
What i like about diamond art club is they show you what it will look like finished so you know what to expect. Helps me avoid pieces i personally dont find appealing
I absolutely agree with you! It is a huge help!
DAC uses double sided adhesive. Check out Craftibly. I think it will be your new #1.
No, DAC uses poured glue.
I already ordered a kit from Craftibly and I like it. Thank you for mentioning Craftibly.
