What I Wish I Knew When I Started Diamond Painting 

Oh no honey dont feel like that! I truly feel the same though, this hobby can get really up there in price and for what its worth to do, its truly a shame that most of these people "like" everything. It's not real...its just telling! Thank you for this comment!

Thank you for watching!

Also, Im DYING to know who you are referring to.

Yeah I think the licensed artist stuff is when you start to truly get serious if you even like the craft. So I’m always gonna say get an Amazon kit. And lord lol

That's where I got my first diamond painting! A cute little three eye monster sitting on a Yeti. LOL.

Word up! Thank you for this input! I agree with you wholeheartedly!

Absolutely! I would never have anyone just starting to think about the craft start on a DAC or Dreamer Designs or even on the snack size kits without truly figuring it out if they would like it. Time is money and money is time and this is a time consuming hobby! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for watching!

Omg the DESTASHES! I cannottttt but again, I used to do it too with vape juices I did not like. If I loved it, I kept it. If I didnt, I did find someone who wanted to try or did like the brand, and all i charged was shipping....but charging the price of a diamond painting kit and shipping...thats DOUBLE DIPPING! Especially when, like I said, contractually, they are getting paid for the sponsored post in general. No one does anything for free. But who again would know that unless they actually did sponsored content? And omg I dont even have a wishlist...I think I would be doing a one time purchase of a few paintings for now on, finish them all, then purchase new ones. and you're right....if I dont get the painting then maybe it wasnt meant to be! Thank you for commenting! I appreciate this so much!

Well, BellaLaLuna1726, I'm so glad I came across your posting and read it. I don't have FB or Insta either and it does feel good and I don't need to get hacked for the third time anyway. My very first kit was a tiny unicorn (8x8"?) meant for a child to see if I liked it and I did. My first real one was from DAC and I didn't know much 18 months ago but I liked the $10 off the first kit. I also buy only what I feel I have to have. Who needs all of that anxiety that I've just gone through waiting for a certain Hannah Lynn on DAC when I'm pretty sure only people who spend a lot of money get them first, even though they swore to me that doesn't happen. I missed out on the third restock last night and even though I put it in my cart, I went directly to my cart and it wasn't there. They said it was probably a returned one! WTH! I don't feel pushed though to buy the latest ones, I usually don't like ANY of them anyway, only ones that have a special meaning or call to me (last night's did). Okay, so I pouted for awhile but feel like you said, it must not have been meant to be.

That’s awesome! I love to do a diamond puzzle! And yeah it gets to be a lot sometimes for sure! Thanks for watching!

Awww welcome! I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for watching !

I’ll have a BEGINNER video up that I think would be ideal soon! Maybe it’ll help you decide (:

Thanks!

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

Thank you! Yeah I can’t live without a good storage system I would die lol

Size matters when it comes to kits and when you’re first starting to see anything bigger than maybe a 40 x 50 cm is DAUNTING! If smaller kits are your thing there’s so many pretty ones! If you’re just starting there’s no reason to take a plunge on even a $50 kit! Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you for watching love!

Thank you for watching!

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

It's called stimming... also its an older kit, something discontinued. You'll find that some diamond painting kits the glue actually doesn't have the same holding power in some areas then others. I constantly check. Sorry if that bothers you and I hope that answers your question. Thanks for watching!

Yes I like those too

This diamond painting is not complete so it does have its own kitting up video. This is also a discontinued kit unfortunately.

Link fixed

Heardddddd! Thanks for watching!

Interesting perspective. I think the idea of licensing is so the original artist gets their cut but I do believe for ABSOLUTE beginners to be weary of just images that may be stolen images or try something other to make sure they even like it. I do see where you’re coming from though! Thanks for watching(:

@lobacrafts Well, Frosted Flakes is a name brand(KELLOGGS). Some artists, as well as the company, paid for the licensing and patent to use it. if you should respect artist and patents, then it should be on everything, or you should stay out of people's pockets and let them buy whatever they can . By saying I don't buy this thing or that thing to an audience (youtube), you are suggesting they do the same. OK, let's look at only diamond painting. The art it's self comes from China. Now we are too good for the very companies and places that started it. But if someone from China states all of the aisan people buy only from aisan companies because this is there's and we stole there art and there craft we would not like it (people foget too often where it all started)it's not just about licensing, it's about much more or it would not be everyone saying it. I am sure some people say it because they love to follow what bigger channels are doing but be original stand on your own ., I hate that... I can think for myself and buy what I want. That's one of the reasons I don't do events I have licensed kits lots but I also love Ali-express can't help it I will not stop buying from there now I don't try to buy licensed kits. I have, but I did not understand licensing . Now I really try to buy other stuff, mostly stuff, about my faith, but I love on Ali-express you pick the size from 30x40 to 70x90 or larger. I love the 70x90's size, so that's another reason . I don't mean to rant, but I was going to start a channel in 2023 and was made to believe that if I did not have a licensed kit, my channel would be doomed. So for me, when I really looked into some things, I lost my love for those channel's now I understand it's about pushing a company, and that's the commitment it's to the companies. Not the subscriber.. well, I am venting (sorry). I just felt misled, and now I don't even watch their channels. I am very picky who I watch. I'm so sorry for the rant .

It’s pretty decent size about 28 x 25 inches

No no it was me too it was such an IMMEDIATE feeling that I NEED to diamond paint lol still is!
