hi if you're thinking of doing some
0:02
diamond painting then you've come to the
0:04
right place this video is all about
0:05
diamond painting for beginners
0:07
i'll tell you all about what you'll get
0:08
in your kit how to use it and how to get
0:11
some successful diamond painting done
0:13
it's a great craft really relaxing great
0:17
so keep watching and see what you can
0:19
achieve i'm christine from christine's
0:21
crafts and this channel is dedicated to
0:26
so you're going to get your kit from
0:27
wherever this one is from amazon
0:30
and the first thing to do is to get
0:32
everything out and check your contents
0:34
especially to jack you've got all the
0:36
diamonds that you're expecting
0:38
and all the colors that you're expecting
0:41
first thing i would then do is sort all
0:45
now this little packet here this little
0:47
box full of containers is not part of my
0:50
it's something i've bought on top of
0:51
that and you're going to have to think
0:53
what you're going to do with your little
0:56
when you get them they're a little
0:57
plastic bags so you can just keep them
1:00
and maybe put a little clip on the bag
1:02
but i choose to tip mine out into little
1:04
and i just cut the actual number off the
1:08
and place that in the little box with
1:09
them you could put a sticker on the box
1:12
or label it however you like but this
1:15
i find it keeps all the diamonds tidy
1:17
it's a nice small box and doesn't take
1:19
lots of storage space
1:21
so make sure you've got all your
1:25
and then it's time to think about the
1:26
canvas you saw that mine came rolled up
1:28
well lay it out somewhere i tend to use
1:31
a foam board and tape it down
1:34
you then need to use that little pink
1:37
and your tool simply push the tool into
1:41
and get some into the end all it does is
1:44
allow you to pick the diamonds up
1:47
so just make sure there's a little bit
1:48
in the end you really don't need much
1:51
it just picks the diamonds up really
1:53
easily you don't want it all round the
1:56
and now it's time to start so select the
1:59
color you're starting with
2:01
and tip some into your tray and then
2:05
those ridges are there to get the
2:07
diamonds to lie down flat
2:08
and straight ready for you to use so
2:11
once you're happy with them
2:13
get your tool press it onto the top of
2:16
one of the diamonds to pick it up
2:19
and then place it on the corresponding
2:21
square on your canvas
2:23
now you'll have seen that on your canvas
2:25
all the squares are marked out
2:27
all the different colors and all with a
2:30
number or a symbol on them
2:32
so those letters numbers or symbols will
2:35
be matched up on the side of your canvas
2:37
to the numbers that are on the bags with
2:42
okay so was that clear you need to make
2:45
the diamonds you're putting on the
2:47
match the letters and that little key
2:51
will be on the side of your canvas so
2:53
that you can keep referring to it
2:55
and make sure you're putting them in the
2:59
now some hints and tips here to make
3:01
sure you're doing it the best way
3:03
do large areas of the same color at the
3:05
same time and don't keep jumping all
3:09
you want to work in one area and get all
3:13
you don't want lots of little gaps to
3:14
have to fill in because that can cause
3:16
problems squeezing them in
3:18
work methodically it depends whether
3:20
you're right or left-handed
3:22
but i'm right-handed so i work from the
3:25
right to the left because i don't want
3:26
to be putting my hand
3:27
over the sticky canvas
3:31
keep going and keep that protective
3:35
on the bits of the canvas that you've
3:36
not done yet it just stops the sticky
3:39
getting stuck to everything and put some
3:42
more wax in your tool
3:43
whenever you need it you don't need
3:46
loads but once you realize it's not
3:48
diamonds reliably just put a little bit
3:50
more wax in you'll find you've got
3:54
so as you can see i've sped up the film
3:56
just to show you you can keep going it's
3:59
very relaxing and just keep going
4:03
until you complete your picture
4:09
so i'm going to show you now how my
4:12
proceeded so we're going to work
4:16
to complete the picture mine is a custom
4:22
but you can get loads of kits with lots
4:24
of different things on
4:25
or a custom picture so this is my cat
4:28
and you'll see as you watch these
4:30
pictures that i'm just working my way
4:33
and working my way down and i just keep
4:35
cutting off a bit more of the protective
4:39
and that picture really starts to appear
4:44
so for me it started to get exciting as
4:47
her little face appeared
4:49
so i'm going to leave you with an image
4:51
of that all framed up
4:52
and also a robin that i did there are
4:55
lots of different pictures so
