for my MCS peeps diamond painting has no paint. Only a very mild adhesive on the “canvas.” a tiny bit of unscented wax on the “pens.”
I have not reacted at all.
To be able to pull out and work on periodically (like while watching TV at night) get one of these
Put each color of dots into one circle tin and label the tops with masking tape and a pen
if you spill a container and run out of dots of a color, ad lib by putting like color near like and/or same. but of course I have no idea how the loch ness monster (blue) appeared near the bottom of this one! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Do important colors first (like in the example below, that would be the tree, and the dark and light “outlines” of the mountains. Save leftover dots to use on the next one for substitutions, spills, or creativity (my daughter’s idea).
I am addicted to diamond painting now (except it’s summer now and I want to be outside. 😀 )
why i like diamond painting
- takes less energy than sewing
- takes less thinking/counting than cross stitch
- takes less fine motor skill than embroidery
- relaxing
- very satisfying
- sparkly!!! 🙂
