My hubby gifted me a finished DP and I thought I would try it. I enjoyed cross stitch growing up, but wow! DP is addictive and my.kitchen and frozen pizza for dinner proves that.😂😂😂
Patricia Branco It works best for me, especially because I work in a continental fashion. It’s super easy to switch between colors quickly. Let me know how you like it! 🤗💎💎
Megan, I always look forward to your videos! I don't know where you are located, but I so completely feel like we could be great friends! You say things that I say! I've also learned a lot about what NOT to do in my own paintings from you're trials and errors, so THANK YOU for that! LOL! Keep 'em coming girl!
Randi Alayne I’m in southeastern Michigan, metro Detroit area. I’m so glad I can help people through my mistakes, seriously!! And I get a lot of great tips from comments on my videos too! That’s funny that you say the same things, I wonder what things we say in common? Thanks for watching! 🤗
Valerie McMellon Sorry!! I’ve been trying to do a stash video but it cuts me off! 🤬 I’m going to try my camera instead of my phone. We’ll see! Wish me luck!! X
Megan Thompson Good luck FOR REAL sister! I can barely operate my phone! I get totally lost every time stinkin FB does an update! So you are better than I if you can figure all this out :) Look forward to the next one! Xo
When I use the kind that flip open too easily I put a tab of tape on the lid so I can just pull up the tab of tape to open it. It works well to ensure no surprise spills.
Love your videos. I’m watching your techniques before I actually buy a kit and start my very first diamond painting. Question ... you label all your containers that contain the drills. Do you take the labels off once your project is done so that you can reuse the containers again for your next project? Suggestion: can you do a video on your routine once you are done with a painting? For instance what you do with the left over drills and what you do with anything that is left over once the painting is done. Thank you in advance. ❤️
Hey! Thanks for a great tips! Question for you though: I noticed you were using square drills, have you ever run into the problem of the drills not fitting because they are right up next to each other? Every time I use square drills this happens and it's so frustrating. Any tips to prevent this from happening?
You have shown some great ideas for working on a larger canvas. As you are working through this diamond painting, will you be rolling up the beaded section? Just wondering if rolling up the canvas with the beads on whether they could pop off. Just getting ideas for when I start a large project. thank you.
juliaoz I didn’t roll it. Instead I just let it hang off my lap desk and onto the arm of my couch 🤣 I have rolled a finished DP and the drills didn’t come off. Make sure you roll the canvas with the drill field facing OUT! Rolling them facing in will force them to pop off.
Phyllis Vermeer I do reuse the jars for my next project. I put my drills into my other storage containers and take the labels off to put new labels on. See my video called “All You Need (and want) for Your Diamond Painting Project.” I explain all that. 😊
ATTENTION: I bought the round storage jars, by mistake after I put the drills in them, I had tightened them to~ tight, I ended up having to break one to get the drills out. So be careful lightly tighten them, so you can open them. Other wise I like these round storage jars!
Hi Megan its me again im just about to start my biggest dp its a 60x80 cm 60 color is so i bought 2 pool noodles and i had to get them by post so thay are kind of in a bent U shape do you or your friends have any idea of how to straighten them out thank you so much kind Regards Peter Rose 🌹🐞🐝🌹
@@preschoolteacheraddictedto1239 thanks My friend you are so great when do you move i can't wait to see what your friend thinks of the diamond Painting Elephant kind Regards Peter Rose
Hi there, I just received my first kit and Im not even sure who it came from...ordered off of Amazon. I was just organizing the drills and it doesnt have the colors marked with the DMC codes. Is that normal or how do I keep these types of things organized?
I am so glad I found your videos. I’m waiting on my first painting to arrive so I can get started. I love this elephant you’re currently working on. Is it possible to share the vendor in which you purchased from? Thanks a bunch for everything.
How about using the pool noodle rolling up finished parts of painting can a -indepth video be made talking about that? Like keeping the completed portions out of the way ? Don't know if in making any sense. :( I love your inventory and setting up a diamond painting to take off videos.
Phyllis Vermeer On the smaller ones, yes, I put the tape all around the canvas first. But the bigger ones I tape as a uncover the cover paper. I don’t remove the tape when I’m finished because the tape protects the glue from getting yucky googoo all over it. The tape I use is clear-ish, so I’m not worried about it. 😊

I'm doing my first diamond painting. It's a 50x50cm of a kitten that looks into water and sees a tiger. So I'm still learning 😊 But isn't it too much of a hassle having all these different storage options just for 1 painting? I would find it's easier if it's all in the same type of containers. For example, I would just buy 2 of the one you showed first, with the round containers in it. I love the lable thing though, might do that for my next one!

The pool noodle is an excellent idea🥰
Thank you for your idea of the pool noodle I have a custom I’m doing and it’s bigger then my work table so that will help me.
Great video! Thanks, Megan!
I’m thinking I’m gonna get the same storage system as yours. I keep watching your videos and the more I see it the more I like it
Patricia Branco It works best for me, especially because I work in a continental fashion. It’s super easy to switch between colors quickly. Let me know how you like it! 🤗💎💎
the pool gizmo with clips looks like a plan!

Lol - "I'm a preschool teacher - it's my job to predict the future" :D
I was actually going to start copying my inventory sheet to put the code on my containers as well so I can easily grab them and know where they go
Just started dp and loving it . How many dp do you own that have not been done .
Will the pool noodle work for paintings 40x50cm or 50x50cm sizes? And can you show demo with these two sizes and a pool noodle please?
I've been looking for you, love your vids😀
quietrain4eva Thank you!!

What kind paper that I need to find? Where that paper at?
Swimming tube is already in stock, have to wait till spring time..😢
I like that

When you're finished using the drills in the jars for each painting do you remove them and labels to reuse the jars
Do you have a response to this message
Phyllis Vermeer I do reuse the jars for my next project. I put my drills into my other storage containers and take the labels off to put new labels on. See my video called “All You Need (and want) for Your Diamond Painting Project.” I explain all that. 😊

Can I ask where you got the wave ones? They are so pretty!

Flower Power you must have twisted them SUPER DUPER tight!! I’ve never had that issue. Sorry you had to break one. 😕
How do you keep your paintings in progress set out while your not working on them while they are on the pool noodle?

Peter Rose besides bending them the other way or maybe somehow sticking a dowel or some other straight stick-type thing through it, I’m not sure!

When u remove this paper it is sticky surface?
Yes under the paper is sticky glue
Did you get the clips at the same place?
I am so glad I found your videos. I’m waiting on my first painting to arrive so I can get started. I love this elephant you’re currently working on. Is it possible to share the vendor in which you purchased from? Thanks a bunch for everything.
Janine C Thank you!!! Here’s the link to this guy: s.aliexpress.com/iYzAJVRz
Thanks Megan! I am so excited to get started. :) Love all your videos.
Clean out your phone apps. Do you regular close off your apps as well?

Do you put scotch tape around all your paintings first? Do you remove the tape when you're done adding the drills
Phyllis Vermeer On the smaller ones, yes, I put the tape all around the canvas first. But the bigger ones I tape as a uncover the cover paper. I don’t remove the tape when I’m finished because the tape protects the glue from getting yucky googoo all over it. The tape I use is clear-ish, so I’m not worried about it. 😊
Thanks for replying back and for the helpful info
You didn't reply to my other comment
Phyllis Vermeer I’m working on my replies now 👍🏻
Hi where did you buy the elephant painting. I'm new to this, and would love for this to be my first project
Phylicia G there’s not even any black or white! Isn’t that crazy!! It’s a fun one with a surprising amount of colors! Here’s the link I used: s.aliexpress.com/iYzAJVRz
Megan Thompson yes it's absolutely beautiful! Thank you for responding.
Where did you buy your Dymo label maker? I love your storage system ideas. Keep the videos coming😊

Megan Thompson Thanks👍
Great video! What size is your pattern? I'm thinking of ordering this.
The Midwest Stitcher it’s a 60x80cm
Why don’t the companies either cut the protective paper into 1 inch squares or at the very least perforate it, make things a lot easier...
I’ve seen the pool noodle idea, but the lady scored the noodle & placed the edge in it the rolled it up versus using clamps.
Kristy Dugger That’s a good idea too! I’ll try it and see which way I like more.
Hi I'm Wendy from UK I like your videos I'm doing a video turtle diamond dotz I'm doing check it out I need help out
