Humidity level in our homes is really what causes the static and I use a whole dryer sheet under my tray as I kit up and I wipe my tray after a couple of times of filling it as I kit up and I cut up dryer sheets in every container…I don’t fight much static that way… but also a humidifier running helps too
Yes! Florida is SO humid. This was my first kit that gave me this much trouble but I like the idea of wiping everything down with a dryer sheet first to see if that helps.
I’ve no idea what I would want for a customized kit. I really would like to do one but I’ve no idea when I’ll get that many cards lol I have 4, no golds or black. I need to get my paintings framed and hung. My office area is where I work from home and diamond paint. It’s decorated in a beach/ocean theme, so I have some to hang in there. I also want to hang seasonal ones up. But donating or gifting them is an idea too. Btw…always looking for your vids 😂
I have Beauty in the Clouds from DAC in my stash and I can’t wait to kit that up eventually! Thank you so much for supporting me by watching and commenting ♥️🥰
Hi Ashley. I have been loving each of your videos. Also, the silent auction idea is a great idea. I imagine donating a nicely framed and double matted diamond painting and then donating the proceeds to charity would be fabulous. Also, when I get my diamond paintings framed to hang in my home, I go on a Goodwill circuit with measures at the ready and a measuring tape to find really nice frames for cheap then I have a double mat cut. Also @Diamondpaintersanonymus uses Static Guard and sprays some on a q-tip and swirls it inside her baggies and the container. Keep up with the videos. Love them all.
Thank you for watching and being supportive! ♥️ I will need to pick up static guard to give that try! I’m excited about the silent auction idea too. I will let you all know once I have enough painting to try it out! 🤓
You are a great RUclipsr! We are new to Diamond Painting and love your more personal approach and coverage of topics. We are getting tired of communicating with hands!😊
I found your channel and you are my favorite. I can just watch your channel and learn so much. I really love the mermaid diamond painting that you showed us the other day. I definitely want to get that next.
I myself work just one canvas at a time. I kit down per kit, so I don't DMC code them. I just put the drills in baggies and keep them together with the kit label. As I kit up, I put the drills on the dryer sheet, and roll them around, then poor into my art dot bottles. I have a case that holds 240 bottles and one that's a 60. I try to keep things simple. My addiction is collecting the pens. I use 6 per kit. I have all the placers on and lay drills according to how ever many are needed.. 1- 12 on metal placers. 1- 16 on curved placers. Curved placers are for round drills and are amazing.
Hi Ashley I never had any luck with dryer sheets. For major static I use a qtip dipped in hydrogen peroxide then swirl it in the bag, works awesome. Side note just a dab of peroxide goes a long way. Happy dping 😊
I love your videos. And to react on what I have heard: when I am at home and do not need to go to work -and my husband is working - I am sleeping in the afternoon and working through the entire night 😁 Night owl club. 🦉 I am way more productive then. And about custom canvas, it sounds really nice indeed. Ngl, I mostly work on custom canvases like exvlusively with my own drawings or drawings.I received from my fellow artist friends as a gift.😁 Someone also drew my Star Wars (yeah, I am a SW nerd) OC for me to turn her work into a DP and show it on Insta🥰☺️ I love many fields of art, connecting them is just so great🩷 Thank you for your video again, cannot wait the next one😎
Take a whole dryer sheet and spread it out, then pour the drills in the middle of the sheet. Fold it hot dog style and pour it into the container Like a funnel. I've seen a lot do it and it's worked.
I take my small piece of dryer sheet and put it in the bag and shake the bag the best you can. I keep the dryer sheet in the container with the drills. It works pretty good. I have seen people poor their drills on top of a dryer sheet and then poor into your container. I haven't tried that yet.
Hello bestie ❤ 🐈🐈🐈 There's nothing better than relaxing with your video and diamond painting after a hard day at work. I really like the idea of a silent auction for charity, I would love to take part in something like that, even though I made maybe 4 paintings in total and there are no such events in Poland.
Another great video!! Thank you,thank you,thank you for trying to cut down on the crinkling noise!! Drives me insane!! I'm fortunate no static issues, I breathe into the bag and that seems to work.
Static sucks. Definitely not world ending, but can be annoying sometimes 😅 I cut up dryer sheets into little squares and I keep them in my containers and they just live there. I also wipe down my tray with a dryer sheet and it does seem to help overall. I'm also very guilty of stalking my favorite artists on Instagram and I regularly send my favorite images to DAC licensing 😂Thanks for another great video!
This is going to be so cute. I cant wait to see it done. Same girl, I set an alarm to go off every 15 minutes starting at 5am through 630. First I need to drag myself out of bed, then i want to know how much time I have left before i have to leave work no later than 630. I have only done 2 custom kits and they were both portraits. They came out nice, however I found that to get it to look like a wanted I had to make them huge. I think I would try creating an AI image that I like just for something different.
Do you know of any company that does hand charted customs? I feel like I wouldn’t mind it being a huge painting if the image was really clear, you know? Thank you for watching!
@@messygirlcrafts I am not familiar with the US based companies that do the customs. I have seen the company The One With Diamond Art does offer them. I have been looking at some of their canvases and absolutely drooling over them. When I bought mine it was a few years ago and I was mainly ordering from AliExpress and I got them from the EverMoment shop on there. I know...dont hate..I didnt really understand the unlicensed art work thing at that time. They are incredibly detailed, but when I say huge I am not joking. They are big. Happy to show you pics at some point if you like to at least get an idea. I have one hanging that is a portrait of my husband and I that came out really well.
@ no judgement! We all started somewhere, lol. ♥️ I have also been drooling over TOWTDA canvases!! I see that they carry Josephine Wall which is on my diamond painting bucket list, but I’m scared lol.
I also cut the numbers off the bag as close as I can and I put them in my containers 🫙 too.. because I have had my stickers come off my containers…and I couldn’t find them so a hard lesson learned…please know I am just trying to give good advice..
I love your videos. Also, I love the artist of the diamond you're working on. I've been following Baylee Jae for years. She's grown so much since then. She has several of her pieces in Diamond Art Club. I have LAC, At Peace, (this is the first diamond painting I completed), as well as Bakery. There are a few more, I just can't remember their names. LOL. You may enjoy her channel. She has two beautiful cats, one is black. She's a joy to watch. She vlogs her day to day life, which includes her art, packaging orders, etc. So, if you need something in the background while working on your diamond paintings, you should check her out. "Baylee Jae". I'm catching up on your videos, and I'm watching this one while I'm working on my diamond painting. Thank you.
I leave my extra drills in their bags until I need them ❤
That’s definitely the cleanest way. I just get so excited kitting up 😂
I love your videos! I stalked your channel waiting for a new upload! ❤🫶🏻
You’re so awesome 😂♥️
I love the silent auction for charity idea. I have several finished canvases now living unseen under my bed. I would so donate them for a good cause!!
I’m so glad you like the idea! I love seeing those finished pieces put to good use. 🥰

Hemostat to hold pieces of dryer sheet to swirl in bag.
Works great!
I'm retired nurse.
Ayyyy! So excited to had a nurse watching ♥️ I have all the respect for you and your role on the heath care team. Thank you for watching!

And here I am watching you until 2am while doing my wip 😂
If I ever get to do a custom, I'd definitely want to do one on my fave anime or game charas
You're so awesome, I'm so glad you’re enjoying it! 😂♥️ I would LOVE so e gaming themed diamond paintings!
I use rubbing alcohol. Did a q tip in. Wring it out and swirl it in the bag of drills before pouring them
I tried doing that on my Warm Witch drills and they got all wet! 😂 maybe I just need to ring it out more.
Yes I wring it out really well
A lovely painting and nice colors
I love those colors too! 😊 The green AB is insanely pretty! 😍

Thank you for watching and supporting always ♥️🥰
Great video. Mermaid tea time is one of my on the fence kits. If it’s in stock by Black Friday , I think I will pick it up then.
That’s a great idea! Always go for the sales to pick up the big kits 😎 thank you for watching! ♥️

I might need to try pouring it on the sheet of if I encounter static as bad as I did on this one! 😂

You are so kind, thank you! ☺️ once I have more finished I will need to start thinking logistics 🤓
I don’t have a favorite artist yet, so I just look for whatever picture stands out and calls my name. 😂
I love when new artists show up!
Another great video!! Thank you,thank you,thank you for trying to cut down on the crinkling noise!! Drives me insane!! I'm fortunate no static issues, I breathe into the bag and that seems to work.
You’re welcome! I’m still trying to figure out the best way to minimize the crinkle! 😂 Thank you for watching! ♥️
I would love to have one of my Alaska photos I took of a pod of whales breaching out of water!
Omg that would be incredible!
My very first custom was of my baby Cozmo ❤️🐈⬛
@@leeanntheriault9723 Awww, I’m sure it’s so cute! 🥰

Where do you get your mats from?
I got my desk mat from Amazon! If you search “cute green cat desk mat” the exact one I have will pop up. There are soooo many cute ones though!

What is a dust mat?
Hi! Do you mean my desk mat? I just got it off Amazon! If you search “cute green cat desk mat” the exact one I have will pop up. It was under $20!
Polyester clothing causes static
Also... Sit on a dryer sheet.
I automatically put piece of dryer sheet in every container
I ended up making a dryer sheet container with pre-cut pieces for when I kit up the next time. Thank you so much for watching ♥️
😎🐈⬛🐈⬛
🌿🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🌿
Thanks for another great video ❤ I hate the static so annoying lol
@@jessicaasta7327 thank you for watching!! Static is definitely the worst! 😂♥️
I would do a picture of my mom who was killed in march of 2023 .. but I can’t afford dac kits right now due to health issues
I’m so sorry you lost your mama🙁 I think a diamond painting would be a beautiful tribute to her memory 🖤
Brah-zo ;)
