I’m team square. I love how the whole picture looks when it comes together. There are no gaps and it’s just so pretty and soooo shiny. I only buy DAC now. I’ve had the same frustrations you have had. Oh… the static drills - cut off a piece of a dryer sheet and stick it into the bag of drills before pouring them out and shake it a bit. It helps!!!! Can’t wait to see your finished project! I think I’ve completed around 30+ paintings and it seems as though they just end up larger and larger. lol. ☕️
Lmao that is the diamond painting syndrome! I’m only half done with the ones I have and I’m already looking for more 😅🤭 and thank you so much for the advice!! I was struggling! 😆🙌🏽💖💖💖
Static is the WORST to deal with and is commonly caused by weather changes or in shipping😭 luckily, an easy solution to remove it is to cut up a dryer sheet into small squares. After that, you can put them in the trays/containers where you store the drills, shake them up, and leave them in there. I find this to be very effective, hope this helps!☕️
omg now that you say that I saw someone do that before. I was so confused I thought they were trying to clickbait me ! 😭 that makes so much sense 🤦🏽♀️ lmao thank you !!! I’ll definitely be trying that 😅💖💖💖💖💖💖
@@riahpaigeealso using drier sheets helps with the static electricity and people I follow most of them use scented laundry beads to help with the static
I looked at DAC on Amazon and their own website. While they had really cute art, none I feel match my particular style. I really looked, too. I am not into paying that much for something I am not willing to hang on the way/use as decor. I fou d way cheaper and really cool art on Amazon from some unknown brands. I really liked how they performed as well. I really like your video, tho. I even like the art you chose. It is really cool! ☕️ update: The shiny drills do look really nice!
I completely agree! There’s no way I could spend $70 + dollars AND 40 + hours on a picture I didn’t absolutely love. That’s why it took me so long to get into diamond painting. And even longer to try diamond art club, it’s not cheap! But it is quality. The drills are some of shiniest I’ve ever seen! I’m currently looking for similar drills on Amazon and Etsy so I can get cheaper kits and just use my own drills! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I LOVE Diamond Art Club! I have no preference for round or square drills anymore. I love them both! Rounds are more sparkly and squares you get that nice click sound when you push them together.
New to your channel. Great video! I love DAC. I’ve only done round drills because I’m scared to try the square 😊 I do have several in my stash though so I just need to suck it up.
I use to think it was worth it but really no happy with the new kit. I liked my big and small sticker the cover minder and washi take and tweezers. Wlyes I can get washi tape and cover minders on Amazon but it's exciting opening the box and finding out what ones I got. Idk it just made it extra special. Yes I can get tweezers about anywhere but the black dac tweezers are the best any one that has used them knows what I'm talking about, and no the pink ones arnt the same and eww I don't like pink. The new pen is horrible. I have problems with all that taking it apart and putting it back together stuff. I've have to throw out so many cups because I can't open the lid and every time I have a bottle drink I have to have someone open it for me. Other than the new kit dac is Wirth it I say thay should -15 to 20$ for all of the stuff taken out. Oh and you get less birthday rewards also. Use to be 1500 now it's 500
Take a dryer sheet fold it to a decent size, pour the drills on to it, fold over dryer sheet, give it some love (rub a dub-dub, and......BAMMMM. No more static (Ive been Dpainting for 6.5 yrs)
Hey, more engagement. I'm team square because you get a sharper smaller image and I hate the glue between the drills being open to catch dirt. Rounds go faster. I think they are equally shiny. ☕️
I’m gonna have to try Dac square drills I bet they’re beautiful! I hate the glue too, that’s one of the reasons I chose squares for my big diamond painting. And THANK YOU so much for all your comments 😭🥹🥹💖💖💖💖
It really can get SO pricey! I like both realistic and fantasy/cartoonish paintings so the world is my oyster I guess 😂. I did a poll and realistic patterns won! Super excited to try it out! 💖💖💖
Hi! When you kit up, cut up small squares of drier sheets to shake around in the bag before you pour. It helps a ton! Also, I’d love to know which team you are on once you’ve tried Diamond Art club squares ☕️
DAC is very expensive, but I think it's worth it for not only the quality you get with the kits but for the fact that you're buying actual licensed art from the actual artist. I enjoy my craft more when I know the artists are getting paid.
The static is hard. You can use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or add a dryer sheet into the tray to remove static. You're amazing with circles, Riah. I personally love both. They have their own special querks!! Beautiful picture, cant wait to see the end result ☕️🥰
We are the same! I think I might love both!! I will try that advice! Thank you so much Gracie for all your sweet comments they really mean so much to me 🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I put my drills in bottles & use pieces of dryer sheets to control static. I also use trays with taller walls so they do not jump out when shaking the tray. I love Diamond Art Club! I have been diamond painting since 2018. My first DAC purchase was in March 2019. Great video. Love listening to your experience! Enjoy! 💎💖💎🤗💕☕️
Oh, trust me, cats can be a BIG problem while diamond painting. I can't count how many times my cat has pocket over my trays of diamonds on the floor.😅
☕ Every time I watch you makes me wanna do some diamond art painting so badly, but Im a little scared. Any advice for someone who never did it before?:D
I’d say try a cheap kit first and I think rounds are a little bit easier so I’d start there oh and make sure it’s a design you really like , that way you’re motivated to finish it ! 💖💖💖💖💖
@@sarielek dang right! I’m the same way. Amazon has them for cheap but they’re popping up everywhere. I got one from target one spot once. It was kinda ugly but it was only 3 bucks lol I couldn’t pass it up 😅
I so felt when you said you are impatient. I started diamond painting 2 months ago and just ordered my first DAC Wednesday. I am so impatient for it to get here. Two more days ugh. 😂
I completely get that! I definitely can’t afford their big paintings right now. It’s a splurge item for sure. The best thing about diamond painting in general is that you can find them for like 5 bucks on Amazon and places like that. Everyone should be able to afford to craft! 😩 💖💖💖💖💖
So cute!! The only diamond 💎 painting I have done was a big one of Danny devito surrounded by flowers and it was only like a few bucks on a random markdown on amazon...and it turned out amazing and I got so lucky hahaha 😂 took me forever tho omg I'm worried about trying another !! ☕️
Omg !!! I literally did a paint by number of Danny devito ! It’s my prized possession 😭 if there’s a diamond painting out there of Danny I gotta find it! RUM HAMMMMM 😂💖💖💖💖
😊😊☕️round drill will always have more shine square drills have a shimmer to them, but square drill are best for large painting that needs lots of details to pop.
@riahpaigee oh and you can use dryer sheets too. Cut them up and shake the bag with it in there or pout them ontop of the sheet and pour them directly from the sheet into the container.
Way to go placing round drills with tweezers! They work best with squares, but you did a great job. Diamond Art Club has changed their tool kits, so the washi and cover minder are gone, and they have changed their pens, too. You'll love the new tools. Hope you are enjoying your new kit!
😭 why would they take those out !? I’ve never tried their pens tho, I saw them at hobby lobby and was gonna get one but it was like 15 bucks (I’m cheap lol) so I decided against buying them. Do you recommend ?
I totally love your video! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Yes, the static is no fun. But dryer sheets cut small and put in bag with a shake works great. Static gaurd, blowing gently into the bag of drills and swiping with alcohol on a cotyon swab all work well too. I love DAC. I love both Squares and Rounds too.
Honestly, just found out about your channel and gurl you are amazing! You videos are so comforting to watch, and I can't wait to see you finish it! (You better- 😀) ☕
Oh I am so made up you got a Diamond Art one 🥰 Now you gotta get a square one so you can see the difference between the one your working on and a Diamond Art one
