    I just started too. I bought some a year and a half ago as gifts. I bought one for myself on Temu. I paid. $1.79 for the kit. I love it. I bought more, of course. I quilt, do counted cross stitch, knit, crochet and now diamond paint. I think that is enough. Of course I bought more kits in Temu. Got a few accessories too.

    A good tip that I use the whole time is that if you get two flat magnets and put one under the canvas and one on top it helps with holding back the plastic

      I hope you love it! I have found that I occasionally will drop a diamond in the wrong place, but they are easy to push around to get it in the right spot or even just pick it off and try again. I have also lost some diamonds here and there, but fortunately they give lots of extras. I have found diamond painting to be so relaxing. I love doing it while listening to an audio book.

    I absolutely love diamond painting (though I haven't been able to in a long time because of having a baby and such). But watching you do them definitely made me want to find time to get back into it. I have so many different ones I've started and ones I have to do still. All different sizes and diamond shapes. I definitely broke out my newest one and sorted diamonds while watching this video. Also, putting the diamonds into the containers is easier for me with the white thing that holds the diamonds. The one that's not a narrower kind of tip. I open the bag and pour them into that then put it into the organizer. But I'm not sure if that would work for you! Just a tip!

    YESSS!!! I freakn love diamond painting! Listening to audiobooks and diamond painting is all new level of Zen. For real. To get the drills into the containers, get a silicone funnel. Saves so much time. And a suggestion, what I did was I didn't put anything into a container until after I used that colour. They almost always send a bit more than you need. I've lost whole packages of colours by accidently knocking my tray and the drills fo flying everywhere. Months later, we are still finding random drills. lmao. If you need to buy extra drills, there is a place you can buy them from. I will send you the link.

    I have essential tremor I had Deep brain stimulation for it. And it worked. Love Temu. Are you still diamond painting? I went in head first in January this year to date I have 400 of them and still buying them. It’s addictive. Loved your video. I still single place because I spend more time adjusting them. They do take time.

    • @CompletelyMelanie
      @CompletelyMelanie  5 месяцев назад

      What is deep brain stimulation? Was that like a one and done fix? That would be incredible! I still do the diamond paintings often. I love them! I've gotten where I can multi place now. I purchased a separate pen thing with angled heads and that helped tremendously. I just recently purchased a whole bunch more diamond paintings from Temu which you will see on another haul before long.

      @suntexi Год назад

      Me too. My doctor tells me it's known as benign essential tremor. The thing that defines it as not being Parkinson's, from which my father died, is that drinking a pint of beer stops it in its tracks. I was told that cross stitch is a good therapy, so I've taken that up. I also have a diamond painting kit which I haven't started for fear of my son's cats knocking it all over the place. I will now have a go, in between cross-stitch and writing. Thanks for this encouraging video.

    My right hand trembles all the time due to cronic pain and I have been doing diamant painting for a little over a year.
    I also find it a lot easier to use the single pen then a multi placer, but it gets easier to place several at once with practice 😁
    For me diamant painting is a wonderful way to get thrugh alot more audiobooks then I used to.
    For me it is very relaxing to listen to a good book while setting my diamants, slowly progressing with my paintings (am doing a really big one right now 70×40 cm) and will hopefully finish in before the end of febuary 😆
