Diamond Art

And the second ‘hobby’ my sister exposed me to (that BTW is also addictive), is Diamond Art/Dotz. We like to call it ‘dippin’ dots’ 🤣 but it is truly therapy to me. We picked up our first kit before Christmas last year. She was the first to open and was like ….oh my….these teeny, tiny little dots get stuck to this ‘pencil’ then placed in a teeny, tiny circle on this canvas, haha. She put her’s away. So….when we were together, I got mine out and tried to acquaint myself to it. Done. Hooked. Spent hours just putting these dots on a canvas that turned a pictureto life. So cool and therapeutic. I think just since then, combined, we have done over 50. We now have lots of cool accessories that make it a little easier and frames to put our favs in. I haven’t yet determined the best ‘storage’ method but need to do something. All the ones I am not framing are under the bed currently….

Here’s some of the ‘must haves’ in my opinion. All on Amazon. AND Amazon is the cheapest place to find these kits. If you put ‘christian diamond art’ in the search bar, you too will be overwhelmed LOL. Try it.

• Rechargeable Light – Trust me, this makes it so much easier to see.
• Vacuum pen – This enables you to ‘pick up’ the dotz without the wax. Definitely a game changer.
• Containers for dotz. Each kit contains an average of 20 colors. It makes it easier to put the colors in these small containers and label.
• Frames – I found the 12 x 12 frames (wood, white, black) fit most of the ones I have finished. Yes, there are other sizes but the majority work in this size frame.
• Papers – Release Paper 15 x 15. I peel off the celophane that comes on the picture and use the smaller squares to cover the entire project. Then I complete the picture, area by area. Just an easier method for me.
• Diamond Painting Sealer – This ‘glue’ keeps the dotz in place and seals the kit.
• 5 D Diamond Painting Roller. I started without this because someone said they used a rolling pin. Welp, that didn’t pr0ve effective for me so ended up ordering this.

Also, here’s a cool web-site, Ecoolbuy, that has many religious based kits. If you type ‘religion’ in the search bar, you will be presented lots of good ones. ⛪️
