I can’t imagine diamond painting without a light pad! The eye strain…even for those with perfect eyes…really takes a toll over time. You don’t feel it at first but that’s exactly the same with carpel tunnel. Prevention is everything.

I agree a decent tray is a must, I also got a storage system, the Elizabeth Ward system was $81.00 so I got a cheaper storage system and it’s way better than the bags ❤😊

I do love trays also. Light pad first, trays second. Loving Munimade right now.

[berlientje]

So happy I'm not the only one who doesn't use her lightpad that often. I have been, but barely use it. 😊

I scored lite tracing toy for $6. Works great. I am waiting for the light pen now. We will see how much it helps...

[EricaHausler]

Yes, I agree! I immediately bought an upgraded pen, trays, and storage when I started diamond painting! :) Great ideas! I'm also a member of no the light-pad club, but I do see how it would be helpful for folks. :)

Would love to see an updated version of this video as some of the Etsy shops linked don’t exist anymore and some of the Amazon items (like the small tips) don’t seem to sell very much either- shipping date was 2 months out. Love all of your videos, they have been so helpful for me as a beginner!

[ethandebirice]

Really love your channel. Totally agree with your suggestions. I just got Bella Art de Nicole trays and I'm obsessed. Lazy River Woodturning Pens are like impossible to score yesterday 3 minutes and sold out. Lol. Truly find your videos calm me. Love listening to you.

[waterwomaninFL]

I'm total beginner. There seems to be several types of projects. Ones where the drills pop in to the piece and ones where they stick to the top. How many types are there and could you explain the difference? Thanks so much for your videos!

[annabel_strikes_back]

I am about to begin and had a quick question. Should I get sealer for mine before I begin?

[jennygavrilovic]

I just got my first diamond painting as a gift from a friend. It may be a stupid question but how much wax do you use per diamond painting?

[virginiacorley]

I got a drull pen with my first kits because of arthritis. Recordarme on amazon has low cost beautiful pens on amazon

[elizabethwarman]

Very helpful. What about how to use Washi tape?

[darlene]

Do you have to use the wax or putty? If your using tweezers, do you still have to use putty or wax. This will be my first time.

[theresamccrary]

Do all of the diamond art pens work with the multiplacer heads or do you need a special one?

[virginiacorley]

Pill box organizers. I get them free through otc insurance
