Really helpful, thank you. i´m with my second painting and the clear paper was very unconfortable the first time, so I´ve followed all the steps you give on this video. it works very well!!!
I am a major parchment paper fan. I also bake a lot so have the Costco Kirkland paper on hand. I just make large pieces like you did, and stick them down whole to the canvas. I use regular Scotch tape to stick the overlapping parts of the two long strips together. I use scissors to cut it down to fit around the glue part of the canvas. Then I use a paper scorer (found at any craft score) and a ruler to cut out an approximately 4in x 4in section to work on. I like to work top to bottom, right to left. I tried making squares of parchment paper like you did, but found I had a lot of problems with the paper bending and pulling off when working with it. That’s why I switched to just leaving it in large sheets and scoring off the section I want to work on. Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for watching. I have made a few changes and now use two large sheets depending on the size of the painting. I also found out that when placing the smaller squares, sometimes the paper does not want to pull up and than you're having to pick paper off the drill field with tweezers. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it's a pain.
Very useful, I have the extra wide parchment paper for the extra large sheet pans for baking and now I have another great use for it for my diamond paintings, thank you!
I was about to start my 5th diamond painting (yes I am late to the party!!) and I was thinking how it should be easier than sticking your fingers in the sticky stuff!!! I was also thinking parchment but didn't have any left to try it so I left that idea aside. Coincidently, hubby was at the store and bought some (he does all the cooking...) so now I can steel some from him and try it out!!! Thanks for the great idea and demonstration that works!
What I do now is decide how big I want my section. Let’s say 10x10 sections. I take the parchment paper and trace out 10x10 sections and cut these sections out. What I don’t use is storages. I also cut out 12x12 and 12x10 sections and storage them just in case. Do your sections that you are comfortable with. That is the key. 💖💖💖
I’m new to diamond art painting. I’m working on my first painting. I wanted to know if I can cut the clear plastic protective cover from an area that I have already completed with the diamond drills? Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can cut the protective sheet around the area that is completed; however, make sure the protected sheet remains over the sections that have not been completed. I do this all the time when I don’t use parchment paper.
Thank you for asking this question! This is the first time I’ve read someone else doing the same thing. Fairly new to diamond painting and thought I was possibly doing something wrong with all the vides about using parchment paper.
Is there a good side to put on the painting or if there is no difference between the 2 sides of the parchemin paper?? Thanks. I am at my first painting and I did one hour only with always the problem that the clear paper didn't stay where I wanted!! Thanks a lot!
Hello Claudette, Parchment paper can come in one sided non stick or both sides non stick. If you want to use parchment paper, you need to purchase the double sided non stick. If you are unable to find double sided, you can still use the one sided; however, you will need to know which side is non stick. The best way to do this is to take a small area on your canvas and place a small amount of the parchment paper down. If it easily comes off the canvas, you know it's the non stick side. If it is difficult, you will know that it's the wrong side. When doing this test, pull up gently and slowly. If it's the wrong side and sticks to your canvas, gently pull it off with your tweezers. I hope this helps :)
When you finish a section on the diamond paper on the canvas, can you still put the parchment the paper on top of it with the diamonds you you know that part that you did? Can you still put it on there? And also if you can still roll up the paper to put it away in that way you know when you have time to do it all over again
Yes, you can replace and reuse the parchment paper strips when working on your painting. When drills are down, it’s not so easy to keep the paper down but I always put my trays on top of the paper to keep it in place. I store my parchment paper strips and use them at least 4 times. Once they become more difficult to lift up from the drill area, it is time to throw them away.
I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the parchment paper stuck to my canvas and ruined it. Trying to peel the small pieces of paper off pulled the glue off sections of my canvas.
Can y ou roll it back up to store it? I just got one that I wont be using in a long time and it had athe sheet poorly laid down and I dont want it to dry out. Thank you
I want to do this to my next project, but I heard you can't let the parchment paper stay on long or it will ruin the canvas. Is this true? The project is 80x100.
I have had parchment paper on canvas a year old and never had any issue with poured glue but double sided I have. If it's poured glue, it's okay but I also recommend that if your doing a large painting and want to use Parchment paper, section it off in 4 to 8 section. Only put the parchment paper in the sections you know you will get to relatively soon. Leave the remaining areas with the original protective sheet. When your done with the section you had Parchment paper down, you can decide if you want to take a break from the Painting or put parchment paper down in the remaining sections. Hope this helps ❤️💕
how couid i get a diamond painting done fazter i have about six paintings that i need to get done for christmas three hadnt been started and the others are about halve way there all medeum size and of them are big ones ive heard about the checker board but i dont know how to do that and when ever i use round drills they always turn out crooked and square drill are paintings are hard for me to find what can i do right now im using the one drill one symble technique
I will do a video on this and show you some tips that help me with speed. I can get a 68 x 80 done in about 3 weeks with these tips. I will let you know when I upload it. Hopefully these tips will help you ❤️💕❣️
I also use parchment paper for my paintings. I get the 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 from amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F2LW6H1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I fold them once then fold them again i think they turn out about 2 inch squares big enough section for me.
I would think the smooth side would be the side for the glue and the rough side upward; however, I would recommend doing a small test sight to see which side is the release side. Test a very small area close to the border. Test the smooth side first and than the rough side. Make sure the area your testing is small. If either side releases, all good. This test will tell you which side is safe to use.

It sounds to me you have a few issues going on. You should try the Parchment Paper but from what I understand from what your message reads, is that you are having issues with the glue and possibly the drills. If your glue is not tacky, you can pick up some Tack It which is a glue similar to poured glue. Follow the directions and it should help with the tackiness. If your drill continue to fall off, you may have popping drills and there is nothing you can do about that other than going to the store you purchased the painting and ask for new drill or a refund. I hope this helps and wish you the best💖
So sorry for the delay. Sometimes I don’t get comments until much later. Yes, you can use parchment paper if diamonds have been placed. If I don’t finish a section, I cover that section with parchment paper and put my tray on top of it to keep it in place.
Yes. Parchment paper works wonderfully when working on double sided adhesive. For me, I don't like having to do a project and not see the drill area. I always remove the paper protective covers and customize my parchment squares. It really works out great. Just remember to purchase double sided non stick parchment paper. If your not sure if it's non stick on both sides, do a test on a small area before placing the strips. You can take a small corner on the parchment paper and place it down on the adhesive, pull up gently....then repeat with the other side. This will give you peace of mind. Once you do that and know for sure, place your strips down and your ready to go 😁. 💖❤️
You will need to take a small piece of the paper and place it on a small patch of the glue,. If it releases easily, you are safe but if it is difficult to lift, don't use that side. This is the best way to find out if you are able to use one side only or both.
Depending on where you live, you can find parchment paper at your dollar store or any grocery store. If it states it non-stick both sides, that is the one to get. I get my parchment paper at Canadian tire and never had issues with it. But as I said before, do a test with the paper. Place it on a small area to make sure it does not stick and test both sides. I purchased Betty Crocker parchment paper and it was non-stick too.
Best and safest way is washi tape. Washi tape will cover that area as well as keeping anything from sticking to and around the edges of your painting. You can get washi tape at any craft store and sometimes at the dollar store. You can also use baby powder. You will have to be careful when using baby powder so you do get it on the drill area. What I do is put the baby powder in a small container. Using your finger tip (index finger), dip your finger tip in the powder and work the powder in the sticky parts moving as close to the boarder as possible. Start were you can't feel the stickyness and move up toward the boarder line. Hope this helps and let me know how it works out for you ❤️💓
That depends on the brand you purchase. Make sure it reads both sides are non-stick. Always do a test to be sure. Take the parchment paper and test bait sides on the drill area. I go to the corner and a small area, test both sides to be sure.
Hello Aprul, sorry for the delay. Non-stick both sides if you can find it. If you do get non-stick on only one side, do a test on a small patch of glue to verify which side is non-stick. That way you know for sure :)
I am on my 3rd Diamond Painting and have used the clear sheet just pulling it back. This with parchment is so much nicer. Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome. I love parchment paper. It makes it so much easier .❤️
Really helpful, thank you. i´m with my second painting and the clear paper was very unconfortable the first time, so I´ve followed all the steps you give on this video. it works very well!!!
Thank you for solving my problem with that plastic!
Oh, your so welcome. If there is any questions you may have, let me know and I will do what I can to help. 😁❤️☺️
Thanks, that really helped, I was trying to figure out how to do it without the clear plastic see through cover.
Your very welcome 💖❤️💕

Ugh, that’s not fun. I wonder if too much air gets to the glue when the parchment is in smaller sections and dries up with the paper attached to it...

Love using Parchment paper. Better than the protective sheets we get and far easier to use when doing paintings!
Me too

Great tips. I’m a parchment paper fan! 🌺🌺🇨🇦
Excellent! Thank you for sharing. Will be doing this for my painting.
Thanks for the video. I'm going to try this on a new canvas I'm starting this evening.
Thank you. I fully understood your process and love the parchment paper idea.
Thank you 💖💖
I ordered washi tape so I'll be portioning my paintings out. I happen to like it.
Thanks for the idea ... I'll use that next time on my new project.... right now I'm finishing up one
Thank you for watching 💖 I use Parchment Paper all the time and love it 💕
Another awesome video.
I tried twice....stuck so bad that it ruined my canvas n I had to throw it away
This is very informative 💖

I have trouble with getting diamonds to stick to my book because the glue dried out. What do I do to get the diamonds to stay onto the book?
Try tack it. You can get this at Micheal’s and possibly on Amazon. This is what I use when I came to that issue. Good luck ❤️❤️

The name of the adhesive is “ tackit over and over” by I think aileens it can fix your canvas and you will have perfect adhesive.
Can you still use the parchment paper on the panting with the Diamond on it?
So sorry for the delay. Sometimes I don’t get comments until much later.
Yes, you can use parchment paper if diamonds have been placed. If I don’t finish a section, I cover that section with parchment paper and put my tray on top of it to keep it in place.

parchment paper is also baking paper do not use grease proof paper.

will any brand parchment paper work as long as it is non stick
Yes, but do a test spot first as some will say non stick and it turns out it does stick.
