For those asking, this specific kit was called "Vibrant Italy".

I wasn't expecting the Dr. Mike segue, but well said Doc! This came out great Sarah! I hope you gave your body a rest after this marathon.

Her pulling the entire plastic cover off immediately was triggering to me! Ahhhh! 😆

I used to do diamond painting, and when I saw you pull that plastic sheet off completely, I swear I saw it in slow motion. I will say that the company you got it from must be super good quality, because after a few days of doing a painting, that sticky backing was starting to dry up on me. I basically live in my truck, and I just didn't have the ability to store my finished paintings or those in progress without damaging them, so I had to move on from them. But I did like doing them. Oh, and you are just like the rest of us, because we all get a wrong color going in the wrong location at some point, and with the size of that thing, your average for mishap went up exponentially.

I’m currently completing a 107, 000 bead diamond painting, almost done but has taken me 3 months so far. This looks so cool

I find diamond painting so relaxing and meditative. Time just flies by when I sit down to place those drills. ADD doesn't hinder my diamond painting, it helps me focus better than almost anything else besides coloring, of course! Beautiful finished piece.

I once got RSI crocheting for 8 hours straight for 2-3 days each day. So so impressed after 125hrs that you didn’t get it. What helpful tips from Dr Mike.

[LightPinkGamer]

I WASN'T EXPECTING DOCTOR MIKE! Omg that's actually such a good plot twist. Youtubers help youtubers, after all!

Nobody talks about how your neck hurts so bad😭😭😭

[sierralapierre]

Diamond art club is my all time favorite company to purchase from! I’m disabled and don’t work so diamond painting has really helped me fill my time with something that not only makes me happy but also relaxes me and helps with my anxiety tremendously! A few tips for anyone interested in this hobbie, 1 don’t take all of the plastic off unless you’re planing and changing it to release papers, 2 setting a hard deadline is not necessary for the most part…. All it usually does is force you to overwork on the kit and lead to a burnout and takes away the relaxing part of it, 3 if you find that the pens that come with the kit end up hurting your hands you can buy thicker pens and that really helps! Enjoy your diamond painting! ❤️

I absolutely love that we got a real demonstration of why ergonomics are important here, I think I tend to get really ambitious about projects sometimes and forget how much my hands & back are going to hurt! XD The finished art here is absolutely gorgeous, it really demonstrates why putting the work into ergonomics is REALLY worth it.

They need to make a little Diamond Art spatula that can scrape up the accidents without damaging the glue.

[Mint_slays]

I started freaking out when she peeled all the plastic off- 😂

[afizah]

I love Sarah’s motivation, i haven’t even seen this video and I know it’s amazing

[DresTheNarcolepticTiefling]

I love diamond art club paintings! Working on my second dragon piece. I highly recommend if you plan to continue to pick up a higher quality pen with soft grip and solid metal tip. Saves the hand a lot of stress.

[briannayoung]

I feel so seen and understood with turning fun hobbies into a tortuous challenge! I just started my first cross stitch and bought one that was much larger than I'd considered. I'm one month in and have barely made a dent. I worked for 3 days straight through the day and night because I thought I'd be able to finish it in a week. I'm a month in tomorrow, and not even a quarter way through. I love not feeling alone in my obsession with my craft, so thank you!

[beckymunro]

It was a challange that she set for herself. It doesn't mean you have to complete a piece of art or any project in the same time frame. I enjoy watching the genuine creation of these pieces. I've done large dimond paintings, and these struggles are real. So many creaters show the begining and the end product and cut out the middle. Making it seem like it's quick, simple, and painless, and that you can't mess it up, as they don't show that.

As a diamond painting veteran, I suggest taking your time with your next ones (if you plan to do more). Diamond painting is really a very relaxing marathon, not a dash. It is a hobby for me and work on it sporadically to avoid burnout or physical pain. I also suggest getting a wide variety of pen widths to avoid "writer's cramp" and having water nearby to drink at all times. Your painting turned out beautifully! I've never tried doing one quite that big but it's on my diamond painter's bucket list!

[lzubb]

woah- thats a LOT of diamonds. You put so much effort into this and its so beautiful 🥰

[jessicaallard]

This was so fun to watch! I have so much respect for the time you put into this. It takes me, like, a year to complete a diamond painting this large LOL! Also, in the beginning when you peeled off the entire plastic cover at once I almost had a heart attack! So glad you were able to get it back on XD
