Hello friends!
Welcome to a basic, beginner-friendly tutorial for how to seal a completed diamond painting. My process is pretty quick and simple, and my favorite part is that it doesn't dull the sparkle and shine of my diamond paintings! This is the perfect way to protect your canvas from losing any diamonds that are prone to popping or falling off, and works whether you're planning to display your painting or store it away.
Note: For some diamond painting companies, sealing your diamond painting may void the warranty. If this is something that you're worried about (which, once you've completed your kit, you may not be) be sure to check the warranty information for your particular kit.

The tip for using a rolling pin was perfect. My #2 gifted diamond art was square drills, and when completed I put parchment paper over the top and used my rolling pin and what a difference….yes I heard the crunch and the drills all flat. I am 79…learning new things.

@texasjess Год назад

I already had some of this Minwax and your video convinced me to try it! It dried so fast and I saw absolutely no dulling of the sparkle of the drills, even the ABs. Thanks for the video!

@cachejewels8532 6 месяцев назад

I am new at diamond painting. I've used Dura Clear gloss varnish. I love it for all kinds of crafts. I've sealed 3 total with it. It's really good stuff. It doesn't have a smell. It cleans up with water and soap. It is thinner than the brand you use. I watched a couple tutorials using it before I tried it so I knew it would work, I was happy to see it as a sealer. :)

@DiamondsandDobermans 7 месяцев назад

Thank you endlessly for this excellent tutorial video. I was only diamond painting about 3 weeks when I undertook a rather ambitious crystal canvas project. As a beginner, this was probably not a good idea. But! I got through it and the result was stunning -except for the popping crystals that stuck to my palm every time I ran my hand across it 🤦‍♀️I did exactly what you said and the canvas is now sealed and ready for framing and my anxiety level plummeted. Thank you again. You’re a great teacher and I love love love your channel ❤

@ChristianneHare Год назад

I am one of those people who religiously use the Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid glue haha 🤣 I loved how your kit turned out after sealing it. It really looks exactly the same after the glue has dried! I definitely will try this type of glue out someday. Thanks for making this Katie! 💕✨

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! I have done a few diamond paintings to date and for me sealing is a must because of my birds. However I had no idea how to go about it and it had me frustrated to no end. Thank you so much for demonstrating the technique and also pointing out some details to take into consideration.

I have been using a gloss tile and grout sealer since 2020. I buy in a one litre tub from hardware and it works great. I started using the tile and grout sealer because I live in Australia and it is hard to purchase the same products other countries use, as shipping costs, and financial conversion costs mean that the products you use are quite outrageous for us Aussies, so I found my own alternative which works well. No beads pop, and finish looks fantastic.

@susanaitken6655 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m off to find all of your tutorials for a newbie! My first diamond painting project was a set of coasters in various mandala patterns. I wanted to be sure I liked the craft before doing the side of my house! 🤣 Having lots of fun with this new craft.

You can also use compressed air to help clean it before. You would make sure to hold the can at a distance from the picture but that does help.

@thurayya8905 Год назад

I know you can pick up the Minwax in a hardware store as I have bought it there, but for other art projects. Thank you for the information as I had been wondering about sealers, reading about various products. The best piece of advice was about the DAC kits, as I had read something about all paintings should be sealed before hanging. This, evidently, is not true, so thanks for pointing that out.

@suzanneseabrook2139 Год назад

Thank you so much for doing this as it really helps me decide what to do since I am working on a Crystal Canvas also. I think I will seal it when finished as it is a gift for someone and I would hate to have the crystal fall off. Glad to know it did not dull the crystals as they are so shiny. I checked in with "One With the Diamond Art" and was amazed at how many of Josephine Wall's that they have now ( not all are available for US) . I totally love her art, she has one called "Dragon Dancer" that is amazing but so far only available in England or Ireland,

@sherri917 Год назад

Thanks for the very informative video. I am working on "Rhapsody in Rose" right now, about half way done, and it is also slippery in places. I am definitely going to try the Minwax on it! It is very large, 31.5" X 23.6", square drill, my 1st square drill, and it's much more difficult for me than the round drills. There's 76,800 drills on this one. It's so big it's difficult to work on, even at my dining room table. I want to ensure that NONE of the drills ever come off and I really like this method you showed. I also bought Rhapsody in Blue to go with it. I got this one in ROUND DRILLS so it would be easier to work with! It is also 31.5" X 23.6' with 61,204 drills. I will most likely use Minwax on this too. Both of these are for our upcoming new home, in which we plan to do a new modular or buy a ranch and renovate it within the next year. These, I think, will make great entryway pieces. What do you think?

Hi! I'm switching from Mod Podge to Polycrylic. What size paintbrush are you using? And what kind of bristles? I was just using a sponge brush with the mod podge, but I definitely want a brush but not sure what kind. Thank you for your great videos.

@LilBit_Everything Год назад

I wasn't sure if I could seal one. I just googled it because I have 2 dogs and a cat. I already have to constantly pick hair out lol and didn't want that to happen if I hung it up not to mention like you said dust and what not. So glad I found your video right away. Helped make the decision to seal it like 1000x easier for me. I do have 1 question that maybe you've answered in other videos but do you leave the washi tape on the edges if you frame it like a canvas or in a picture frame. The sticky edges drive me bonkers. I have just masking tape on it right now while I finish the painting but I don't know what to do about them when I get to the point of hanging or framing it. Does washi tape last? Is there a better way to do it? Could I just coat the minwax over the edges a bit to cover that stickiness?

@anythingdiamondart8658 Год назад

This alone will cause your painting to get crispy. So when u fold it it will Crack. But I made my own cocktail of mixer with 1/3 this minwax 1/8 clear glue I have a huge gallon that I just had here. And then 1/3-1/4 water n mix. It will be really watery but milky like breast milk of like skim milk lol. But i only use for rounds to cure the sticky parts inbrtween so that dirt n cat hair don't stick. But good luck. I played with a bunch of diff sealers. And things

@anythingdiamondart8658 Год назад

Also with the mixture I made myself I can roll my paintings back up n they don't get stiff

@DiamondsandWashi Год назад

Hmm, that's a tough question. For what it's worth, I didn't find that the sealer I used in this video pooled and spread past the edge of the drill field, so maybe if you carefully did a pretty light layer, maybe with a smaller brush at the edges, it wouldn't be an issue? Also, if you aren't running into issues with the drills falling off, you don't necessarily have to seal your painting. Just a thought!
