I have to say after a few months of DP’ing that your channel is my go-to for all things DP related. I’ve ordered a few drill pens from you and look forward to receiving them. Thank you for all your work, answering our many questions etc..I greatly appreciate your time and efforts on our DP community. It’s so nice for me as I live alone. I’ll put on one of your videos and work on my DP’s..makes me feel like we are good gf’s crafting together. Happy Holidays Dani to you Teslyn and your family. Happy New Year 2019!!!
Diamond Painting by Doni You are most welcome. Through these communities I found some wonderful ladies that have become fast friends..all because of our mutual love of DP’ing!! I love learning from you all .
Diamond Painting by Doni I also found that the Aqua mono liquid glue had the same results that you found. I also used it on a canvas that I was having problems with the drills slipping . I put a tiny drop on the canvas and it worked well to hold the drills in place.
I have just found out recently that you have to seal diamond paintings. I have also seen all of these different things you can use without losing the glitter and shine. I decided to use clear Elmer’s glue and it was perfect, when it dried the sparkle was there!
You don't actually have to seal them. People just feel more comfortable with sealing them when they won't be putting them behind glass to help keep the diamonds from possibly falling off one day. Good to know about the glue, thank you!
I am a scrapbooker and papercrafter… and now a Diamond Painter... Tombow glue is the best for all of my crafting needs! I also have a Pampered Chef Pizza roller that looks just like yours... sat in my kitchen drawer for years, but now has a purpose! Thanks so much for sharing your great tips and techniques!
Thank you for this posting on Aqua glue! It worked perfectly and no sparkle was lost. The only hard part is seeing where the glue has been applied. Thanks again!
Have you ever tried using Elmer's Clear glue? I've tried it and it came out looking very shiny. was easy to find, costs less, and easy to apply. I used a small sponge brush.
Hi Doni. I enjoy watching your RUclips channels... I was wondering does it matter what kind of bristle of the toothbrush is? Soft, medium, or hard? Let me know. Thank you.
I use a soft bristle toothbrush just in case there are loose diamonds that a harder bristle would possible pull up on or even possibly scratch the drills.
Hi,Just brought this product as I was advised it was great.Can you tell me what you meant when you said you brought hangers as well on Amazon please. Thankyou. I am in New Zealand.Thanks for your great video.🌈
I purchased 5 X 6 tier trouser hangers to hang my diamond paintings on. Each tier can hold 5-6 paintings. So you can store at least 150 paintings if you use up all 5 of them 😊
Did I hear you say that the glue only lasts 3 years? Maybe I should seal all my diamond paintings lolol.I had planned to mount them on canvas (w/o sealing)for myself, BUT...😱
I saw Danielle's video and then yours as well, so I am going to order some and try it out for myself on a partial I have that I don't plan on framing etc. And if it works I think I will use it even on framed ones for the same reasons you mentioned. I really want to finish my Spider-man so if this works I will be framing him up soon!
This is great. I purposely did not watch or listen to which half you were putting the solution on. I turned off the volume so I truly would not know. I could not tell where you put it on the painting. The sparkle was definitely there. In fact I think there was more sparkle on the bottom where you had used it. Now I wonder how it would work on the paintings done with crystals and special beads? Lorma Margosiak was the first person I saw using this and did that she loved it and that it didn't take away the sparkle. But I don't think she showed the comparison the way you have. Because I'm going to be doing at least one painting with crystals I'm going to order some of this. Thanks so much to you and Danielle for doing this and showing the results
Debbie Gilliam I actually have one with the crystal rhinestones finished so I could try it in that as well. I'll post pictures on the facebook group. You have joined it, right?
@@LormaMargosiak don't you mean "steal"? I would think you would be flattered someone shared your idea and I'm sure you're not the first one to come up with this idea. I had thought to seal with clear acid-free glue and was checking on RUclips before I did it just to be sure. You owe Doni or whoever it is you are accusing of stealing an apology imo.
I use this glue on craft projects & any that has gone "outside the lines", or what have you, stays sticky. I just checked an ATC I'd made MONTHS ago & it's still sticky. So, I'm apprehensive to use this glue on my DPs. Is it not sticky???
Omg - that’s awesome!!!! I’m going to be buying a bunch of this as I few big ones that I haven’t sealed yet. FYI - if you order it from Michael’s website, there’s an option to buy it in bulk (12 of them) and then you also get a 20% discount code for the bulk order so it comes to only $2.23 apiece (plus free shipping). I know it’s a lot of glue, but if you have a lot of big ones that need sealing like I do and more in the works, having this large of a supply on hand might be nice.
Thanks for sharing this. Added it to my cart because I'm new at DP and was looking for a sealer for my paintings. I am working on my third one and have two to seal and frame. My FIL makes frames so I'm excited to get them made and put up! Thank you for your very helpful videos for us new to this. I'm a WW channel but have some clips made of some of the diamond painting that I would love to post soon as well. Some of my viewers are very interested in this. It sure keeps my hands busy and OUT of the food :D
Diamond Painting by Doni Lol that’s what I’m thinking. And yes it is a small DP world. I also ordered the little easel you have as well as the pill crusher and I must say, they are perfect!
Hallo mein Name ist Susanna Schneider, ich habe da mal eine Frage an dich. Wofür ist der Aqua Liquid Glue bei Diamant Painting gedacht? Und wenn man ihn über das fertige Bild streicht, glänzen dann die Steinchen immer noch so wie ohne? Würde mich über eine Antwort freuen. Gruß Susanna Schneider
In diesem Video werden beide Fragen erläutert. Der Kleber versiegelt die Diamanten, damit das Gemälde länger hält. Der Kleber, mit dem Sie die Diamanten auf die Leinwand kleben, wird nur ca. 3 Jahre halten. Sie verlieren überhaupt keinen Glanz mit diesem Kleber auf Ihrem Gemälde. Deshalb habe ich jedem dieses Video gezeigt, damit Sie sehen können, dass der Glanz mit und ohne Kleber gleich ist. Ich hoffe, das hilft!
Hi there, I have a painting I just finished and some of my beads pop up and no matter what I do, they won't stay down. Does this sealant help keep them down as well as give them a shine? Thanks.
When they pop up then the row is too tight. Try shifting the other beads a bit to make enough space for them. Or the glue underneath was dry by the time u put them.. Then the glue will help
There has been a discussion in my facebook group about this. There was a very large batch of drills that were produced too large. A couple of things that can be done, are 1. remove the ones that are popping up and replace with a drill that is smaller, 2. Place the aqua mono glue over small sections as you finish it. The glue doesn't make them shine. They are already shiny, but this glue does not diminish the shine like other sealants do. 😊💖
Ouch. I did do as someone suggested and bought it in bulk from Michael's online. They have a deal where you get 20% off of your first online bulk order so they end up being only $2. and something each. They come in a case of 12. But $3.19 wasn't too steep from amazon.
Just a question about this glue does anyone know if it is non yellowing as I have a 60x120 I am working on and would like to finish it with something when I am done before I frame it.
It has very little written on the bottle. Actually, I read everything that was on it in this video. But being acid free, maybe that helps it be non yellowing maybe? I have no idea. This is my first time using it.
It is acid-free & photo-safe because it is made for papercrafts.Therefore it is non-yellowing.I do cardmaking and I trust the Tombow line of glues.No worries!😁
Yes! The spray mod podge will dull the sparkle. Stitcherista showed that in a test she did. This glue was the only product she tried that didn't dull it. And as you can see, this shows no difference after placing it. I will be using it on every finished DP.
I had the same problem. It looked great as long as it was left flat but if ruled even in a large roll wherever the glue crackled it turned white and flaked off. I had white lines in between my Diamond Rose all over the place. So if you're going to use it and move it right onto a frame fine but if you need to roll it at all don't do it.
I saw that as soon as I got notification of your comment lol. You have great taste! When I was choosing my profile picture, I couldn't decide at first to do the one I have or that one. 👍👍👍
Actually she is a big part of my videos and very few have an issue with her. This video, if you notice, was posted a long time ago. We were figuring things out and she was still learning what was ok and what wasn't. Newer videos may not be as annoying to you. But she will still sometimes show up in a video unannounced, just won't be as interruptive as in these older ones.
Diamond Painting by Doni thanks for sharing this. I got my first diamond craft today and I was wondering what next Please don't ever let the negative feedback bother you. Children are important.

Thank you for this posting on Aqua glue! It worked perfectly and no sparkle was lost. The only hard part is seeing where the glue has been applied. Thanks again!
I now use my fingers to spread the glue so that I can feel where it's been and where it needs to go.
Your child is precious. Wanted to see the toothbrush, not the painting. Kids are great! 😁
Have you ever tried using Elmer's Clear glue? I've tried it and it came out looking very shiny. was easy to find, costs less, and easy to apply. I used a small sponge brush.
I've used Scotch clear glue but it wasn't comparable in price when I bought it. I'll have to try the Elmer's. Thanks!
It is probably a resin or acrylic type of glue. The beads are resin so using clear resin to cover it makes sense. :)

Great advice.. Thank you. I am just starting out on diamond painting. I read a comment on glue flaking? How's your canvas doing now? Thanks x
It is still holding strong after about a year of hanging in my wall. I have it right next to my filling area so I am always looking at it 😊❤️
No I think it looks about the same. You are right I don't see the difference at all. Good job guys.
Thank you so much for all you do for us.
It is my pleasure!!
You can also purchase this online at Michael's
i love that glue that's what ive been using i originally tried mod podge cuz i used that for my jigsaws but this glue is better for sure .. !!
I saw Danielle's video and then yours as well, so I am going to order some and try it out for myself on a partial I have that I don't plan on framing etc. And if it works I think I will use it even on framed ones for the same reasons you mentioned.

I have the same roller. I use it after I do a section. Then again when I finish. I tried Mod Podge and wasn’t happy. I hope this works for you.

Diamond Painting by Doni yes I have. I just don't go on Facebook much. I can't keep my face out of my paintings long enough lol
Debbie Gilliam haha I understand. But keep an eye out soon. I think I will seal it tonight
Diamond Painting by Doni Thanks. I'll watch for it.
@@LormaMargosiak don't you mean "steal"? I would think you would be flattered someone shared your idea and I'm sure you're not the first one to come up with this idea.

Thank you for the video. May I ask how you seal a partcial? If using a a spray to seal it, can you spray the whole canvas?. Thank you
I don't use the sprays because I haven't found one that will leave the sparkle in tact. But this video is about sealing a partial.
Doni, what is the glue on the painting looking like after 3 months?
I will take a photo of it now and post it in the group :)
I use this glue on craft projects & any that has gone "outside the lines", or what have you, stays sticky. I just checked an ATC I'd made MONTHS ago & it's still sticky. So, I'm apprehensive to use this glue on my DPs. Is it not sticky???
It isn't sticky to the touch, but it is still holding the drills quite solidly onto my canvas.
Thanks so much hun!! I have that glue!! Awesome dear one, cuz I was wondering about sealing :) Best video, love it!
Yay! I am glad you are now assured that you can use that on your diamond paintings and they will retain their beautiful sparkle!
Thank you so much I have been looking for a good sealer thank you
Thank you - picked some up today at Michaels for $2.99.
That is cool - I think I have some in my scrapbooking supplies. tfs!!
Omg - that’s awesome!!!! I’m going to be buying a bunch of this as I few big ones that I haven’t sealed yet.

YES! It has also helped me to eat less as well. Snacking isn't even on my mind when I am busy diamond painting!
Omg lol I saw stitcheristas video and went ordered 4 of them they came the day before your unboxing video was posted and I cracked up laughing.
Haha! So you probably got them the same day I did! What a small DP world we live in ;)
Diamond Painting by Doni Lol that’s what I’m thinking. And yes it is a small DP world. I also ordered the little easel you have as well as the pill crusher and I must say, they are perfect!
2 out of the 3 things were straight from Danielle lol. She has many more ideas than I do haha.

Hallo mein Name ist Susanna Schneider, ich habe da mal eine Frage an dich. Wofür ist der Aqua Liquid Glue bei Diamant Painting gedacht? Und wenn man ihn über das fertige Bild streicht, glänzen dann die Steinchen immer noch so wie ohne? Würde mich über eine Antwort freuen. Gruß Susanna Schneider
In diesem Video werden beide Fragen erläutert. Der Kleber versiegelt die Diamanten, damit das Gemälde länger hält. Der Kleber, mit dem Sie die Diamanten auf die Leinwand kleben, wird nur ca. 3 Jahre halten. Sie verlieren überhaupt keinen Glanz mit diesem Kleber auf Ihrem Gemälde. Deshalb habe ich jedem dieses Video gezeigt, damit Sie sehen können, dass der Glanz mit und ohne Kleber gleich ist. Ich hoffe, das hilft!
Ok thanks Doni
Hi there, I have a painting I just finished and some of my beads pop up and no matter what I do, they won't stay down. Does this sealant help keep them down as well as give them a shine? Thanks.
When they pop up then the row is too tight. Try shifting the other beads a bit to make enough space for them. Or the glue underneath was dry by the time u put them.. Then the glue will help

Where did you get the cover for your work table with the diamond jewels on it?
They are just wall stickers that I bought at the Dollar Tree :)
Winner winner chicken dinner!! Still shiny
How gorgeous xxxx
Jetzt habe ich nochmal eine Frage! Und wie lange braucht der kleber dann bis er trocken ist?
Es hängt davon ab, wie dick Sie den Kleber platzieren. Es dauert ungefähr 30 Minuten für eine Schicht, die nicht zu dick, aber auch nicht zu dünn ist.
I love aqua but hearing about down the line it yellows, I hope not because I like it the best. Wish we knew for sure what it will do down in time.
After 8 months, it still looks the same at least. This is one of the few I actually have on my wall.
How long did the glue take to dry
I put it on pretty thick, so it took about 30 minutes to dry.
Can you use clear puzzle glue?
You can try, but I did not do a lot of testing. I mostly learned from other people's mistakes.
We be definitely be getting the glue
OMG LUV IT
Do you mod podge on yoir diamond art pic ?
I used mod podge extreme glitter once. I'm still not sure how I like it. I do water it down though.
What's the name of the glue
It's in the video description amzn.to/3Iu6UYq
I saw it at Joann's Fabric for about $5 each
Ouch. I did do as someone suggested and bought it in bulk from Michael's online. They have a deal where you get 20% off of your first online bulk order so they end up being only $2. and something each. They come in a case of 12. But $3.19 wasn't too steep from amazon.

Sorry, I meant drills.
Do not use this product! After a few days it started turning white and flaky if the canvas is moved at all or bent
