As a beginner but knowing the kind of framing I desire, I want to thank you and Jeff for such a thorough video explaining and demonstrating how to make the wrapped frames. THANK YOU BOTH❤
Thank you, I’m so glad you found it helpful. It feels so good to have some of those larger, custom size pieces framed and able to be displayed properly.
Thank you so much! Jeff was a rather unwilling participant. It wasn’t very smooth, but I couldn’t get him to make a retake so I just decided to roll with it as it was. I appreciate your kindness.
Okay just shoot me. I thought your video was complete after the hummingbird. I don't know why I thought it was done lack of sleep I guess. You and Jeff a wonderful job!
Thanks to you and your husband for this, definitely my favourite wrap video cause my honey was really mad when I suggested cutting the drill area around…….he pretty much claims the ones he likes the best and wants them framed more properly. I think he will definitely go for this suggestion plus he can use power tools so win/win with it looking so good and not being ridiculously expensive :)
Thank you! I am so glad this was helpful to you. I know not everyone will be able to use this method, but it has worked so well for us. It has been amazing to have a professional looking alternative to custom framing. It is way too expensive for me. Doing this has allowed me to be able to gift so many more completed diamond paintings. I hope you will give it a try and have great results.
Im just seeing this and its super helpful. Its a great. I also am still friendly with my ex inlaws. We are actually leaving Friday for a motorcycle trip. Great video!!!!
Thank you to you and your wonderful husband for this video. I made my husband watch so we can do this together. Get my paintings off the treadmill. I did have one framed yes, very costly. Enjoy your weekend 😘
Great! I’m glad it was helpful. Jeff was not keen on being recorded but I’m glad he did it, even though it was a bit of a mess. Yes, custom framing is was too costly. I have been able to gift so many more paintings using this method. They really turn out looking quite professional, I think. Thank you!
I'm so happy I found this video. Helps me so much. Now I know how to frame my diamond paintings. I am almost done with my first one. That mode podge would do good with puzzles.
Amazing! I am so appreciative of you and your husband doing this video.. Just yesterday i was wondering myself how can I make a frame for my large paintings.Here you ere ! Wala ..I think you can read my mind ? Lol thanks soo much ..you are both lovely people
Yes, I can read your mind! Hahaha…just kidding. But I’m so happy that this was helpful. It really is quite easy and give a professional looking result for virtually no investment. You can do several paintings with just one piece of hardboard and firring strip. Someone also mentioned using double sided tape to affix the painting rather than spray adhesive and I thought that was a good idea as well. Thank you so much, you are so sweet. 🥰
Oh thank you for sharing how you frame your paintings! I want to try the stretched canvas with the 1x1 wooden frame! I think I like that idea the best! I’ve never sealed any of mine, but I’ll keep these ideas in mind incase I need too, since I just purchased some square drill paintings.
Great! I am so happy you liked this. It was a bit of a mess of a video (Jeff was not keen to re-record it for a more seamless result, lol). The wrapped canvas method has been a lifesaver for me and has allowed me to be able to gift so many completed diamond paintings that I would not have been able to afford to do if I had to pay for custom framing. I am going to try aqua glue as well for sealing as Ive heard a lot of people have great results with that as well. I’ll keep you posted how that turns out.
@@craftnado48 Oh aqua glue sounds interesting! Yes let me know how that turns out as well! And I think I'll try doing the wrapped canvas method once I'm ready to hang some of mine!
Great tips thanks. For alignment during glueing, it might be easier to leave the painting on the cardboard after spraying it with glue and put the frame on top. And for glueing to the mat, I would glue first and the mat for better centering.
Love your video about framing as well as other ones you published. My question is how do you do the corners on the frames that you've made and wrapped the painting around? I can't seem to cut it right or bend it right or whatever to make it a nice Corner. Keep up the good work I love your attitude and the way you do your presentations even though you are a Michigander :-).
Thanks, Angie! I like the faux wrap you did. I hate the idea of wrapping the part with drills around the canvas, but using the border seems to hold up well. Thanks for also showing the human side-- I am always messing up. Framing is not an easy thing to do!
Thanks for being understanding. This video was just a mess at the end, but so many people were asking me to show how we did it. And I couldn’t get him to do another “take”! LOL i had a hard enough time getting him to do it once! But framing this way has been a lifesaver, money wise. I have been able to gift so many diamond paintings because I didn’t have the extra exorbitant expense of custom framing.
Thank you, even though it was a bit of a mess. I tried to get Jeff to re-record it, but he said I was lucky I got him to do it once, let alone twice. He was not too keen to be recorded. Lol. I hope you will give it a try. It’s also fun to be working together on something. I’ve enjoyed having him involved.
It was a bit of a hot mess, but I had so many people asking about the wrapped frames Jeff makes that I had to do it. I wanted to do a retake, but Jeff was NOT having it. I’m lucky I got him to do it in the first place. Thanks.
I cut the white off, then I get a piece of construction paper or cardstock, I use double-sided tape to mount the diamond painting onto the background, then I put it in an actual frame with clear glass. It does not dull the sparkle of the drills at all and you dont have to put any glue on it
LOVE your method. Did you ever wrap it around just the flat board and then maybe glue on a picture frame bracket? I haven't tried it yet. I was even thinking of trying it with a stiff piece of cardboard.
No, we haven’t tried that, but it’s a great idea. I think Jeff likes the idea that this way makes the piece stick out in a more traditionally framed way. But thanks to you, we will definitely be trying that out! Thank you!
I do the same for my frames but… I use a hand saw to cut my frame edges and wood glue. No nails. I have a box of precut MDF boards I got on Amazon for a great price that I glue the painting onto, I wish I could share a photo because they always turn out great
I guess wiping the mod Podge with a damp cloth would take the excess off the diamond but still leave the sealer covering the sticky between them. I use a similar product especially for diamond paintings but very much the same as mod Podge.
I tried the Krylon triple thick that you were talking about in the video and I did not like it. I’ve tried the Krylon I’ve tried the Modge Podge high gloss, I have also tried the Minwax that comes in like a paint can and you brush it on with a foam brush. In my opinion I really like the Minwax clear gloss, I felt like that was the only one product of all the sailors I have use that works the best. Again like you’re saying that is my opinion you may like some things like you like the Krylon I do not and it’s all just a matter of opinion but I did enjoy your video and I showed my husband the video that you put up of your husband framing paintings and he actually did that today with two of my painting and it works well thank you so much and say thank you to your husband as well
You know, it’s funny because as time goes by and these videos become a bit older and my opinion has actually changed. For a while the Krylon was the best thing I could find, but recently I ordered a diamond painting sealer from GBFKE and it works beautifully! It has become my new favorite. I am so happy to hear that you were able to use framing idea! It is such a great alternative to expensive custom framing. Thanks so much for your suggestion with the Minwax as well. I haven’t tried that but I think I will!
Hi: I just completed a fairly large diamond art painting of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and I have seen a method of doing a simple frame using wood dowel rods. I tried to find it again on your web site where I can print out the details. I tried to find it again and for some reason unable to find it. The video is there but information is not in detail. The completed picture came out nicely. Can you help me find the print out again. Thank you very much. 😅
Diamond Painting beginner here 🤚 I have a question cause I'm almost done with my first one, and there are lots of stones left... does the Drill No in the colour key mean that I can use the stones to other paintings? For example, is black always 310 and white, always 3865, even though the symbols might change? I'm really curious if it is worthy to keep the leftover stones or not... thank you in advance 😊
Sorry for the delay. You’ve probably already gotten this answered already, but yes, numbers are always the same color BUT depending on brand and batch and whether they are resin or acrylic, tones may change slightly. So like a 606 from one kit might be a slightly different red on the next. In the beginning, I kept and organized all my extras. After 2 photo storage boxes and lots of time spent organizing, I have only ever run out twice! lol. I don’t keep them anymore. But a lot of people do.
Hi! I've heard you mention in previous vids that you hang your finished diamond paintings in the bathroom. Have they held up well against the humidity?
Ive had one in the bathroom for at least a year now and I have not had any problems with the humidity, and it’s one that I didn’t even seal. But I think it would depend on the painting. The one I already have up is from Diamond Art Club. I have another that is from a budget friendly site that I plan to hang in there and the adhesive isn’t quite as sticky, so for that one I will seal it. But nope, I haven’t had a problem yet! Hope that helps.
Double sided sticky tape. place some tape top and bottom of picture. Place Pic where you want it, Lay on board and center. Then lift carefully bottom or top, pull the other piece of the tape off and press, do other side. Placed. If that makes sense. How I do it in my lortfoloios
That’s a very good way to do it as well. And that way you don’t have a bunch of framed ones to store when they’re not in use. We mainly do the canvas wrap for ones that are going to be gifted or ones that will be permanently displayed, like Nightbringer.
