My Diamond Painting Storage Stash 

I'm finding out from the comments that I am not alone in having lots of storage. Thanks!

😆

When I started, I was so cheap that I was sure all I would need was the 250 sauce cups I got at a restaurant supply store for less than $5. Several more dollars later, you get this stash video.

@@JoanDiamondPaints 😂😂 Although, that's not necessarily a BAD thing ... 😊

It probably has been kitted down already somewhere on my channel since this video was from last year.

Thanks for sharing! The round bottles are probably my least favorite of the containers since they take too long to open and close lol.

I do too!

Thank you very much!

I think when you gather all your items to make a video like this you start to feel a little self-conscious having so much. You are right though. It makes me happy to have the storage. I'll have to try your making storage containers out of other things. Other than re-arranging the smaller containers into the different out containers, I have not really done that. Thanks!

Thank you very much!

The Harbor Freight is my favorite. They are not as pretty as the other containers but I think they're easiest to work with. I'm glad you are liking my videos. Thank you for subscribing!

Thanks!!

I've found from the comments that I'm not alone in the storage addiction. Thank you for watching!

Sales are a valid reason to buy more storage.

@@JoanDiamondPaints 💯💯💯💯💯 😍😍

I have several diamond paintings kitted up that I haven't even started too!

I like to kit up several so I always have something to work on if I don't feel like doing my current project. Thank you for watching!

I wish lol

I'm actually glad the closest Harbor Freight to me is farther away. Otherwise, I would probably have more than 10 of them. Thanks for watching!

Hello from Washington State in the US!

I did say I had more storage on the way. Thanks!

I think the price is a very big plus for the Harbor Freight containers. Thanks for watching!

I have seen the funnel for the tic-tac containers but I don't have many of them so I haven't gotten it. I just noticed that I cracked one of my tic-tac containers and I've only used it once. I've also cracked one of the round bottles. I don't even know when it happened. I just noticed it when I went to use it. Happy Diamond Painting!

@@JoanDiamondPaints The round ones crack too?!?!? I also noticed that while the actual container is the same, some manufacturers have a different top for the round container. Some are a hard, clear plastic which I can see easily breaking/cracking and others are a softer, more opaque almost rubber-like cap. I'm also not sure how my tic-tac ones cracked (except for the one I dropped and a dog stepped on it) ... maybe I accidentally squeezed too hard when removing the plastic top? The good news is they all seem like surface cracks (you can't feel it on the inside) so they will last a little longer. The Bella funnel (the one with two "legs" not the single "open" one) is a perfect fit so you don't have to remove the entire plastic lid, but a VERY happy discovery was (this is going to be hard to describe) after filling up the tic-tac container to the level of the funnel bottom (maybe 1/3 or 1/2 way when the funnel is "sitting" on the edge of the container), you can fill the funnel (the new drills are stopped by the level already in the container) and slowly lift it to fill up the remaining space. And tilting the container lets you fill a little more! Annnnnd I just placed an order for the square containers Rebeca (@4kidsat147 now @AddMoreZest) just used for her June WIP and Waffle ... I think we need to create a Diamond Painting Storage Anonymous group -- seriously!!!! 😃🙂 We can support AND enable each other to make smarter storage choices 😃

@@kawaiiko7813 I just discovered the tik tak funnel. I was delighted, as I have not been using my tik taks because of the refilling issue. The funnel was $6.00. Shipping was $ over $25.00. Are you effing kidding me!!???? ❤️🇨🇦

Thanks for the excuse to get more. lol.

Hello fellow storage addict! I have those storage in my wishlist. I'm just waiting for them to go on sale since they don't seem worth the current price otherwise. Thanks for watching!

I am a little obsessed with storage. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

I have found some really good deals for storage from the myvipon website. There is a link in the video's description to the site but the deals come and go. I usually just open the Harbor Freight boxes over the tray since I'm going to pour them out anyways. Welcome to my channel and I hope you enjoyed the video!

I didn't realize the 140 case switched to half smaller bottles. It is still a really good deal for the case especially with the extra $4 off. Glad you were able to get one!

I file them away by DMC number. See my Kitting Down videos if you want to see the system. Right now I am using my leftover square drills for a cross stitch pattern on a blank canvas.

If you mean the 3 drawer bottle system, I got it from Amazon. It is not available anymore but this is a little different but from the same seller amzn.to/3zvXn0x

I originally stored them like in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zrGXMj9y-jY.html but I later changed it to like this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RdKy4-oYask.html

Glad to know I'm not the only one with probably too much storage lol.

I did one of the small "free just pay for shipping" promotional diamond paintings from DAC but haven't done a real one from them yet. I did place a pre-order back in April that I still haven't gotten so I will have some soon, maybe?

Thank you!

My first Harbor Freights were $4.99 back in 2020. Someone told me they used to be $2.99.

Your not crazy

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has several kitted up! Thank you!
