Next Question to be Answered: Traveling with your Diamond Art
Just because we keep them all doesn’t mean we will ever need any of them again. So, true! I have a couple of colors that keep showing up in kits that I am never short on, so may likely never need any in an emergency. But keep them we must, but for what? See the previous section as well.
How can we use up the extra drills if we really don’t want to continue buying kits anymore? Can we use them for something else?
First off, we’re sorry to see you go. But we understand that some people just don’t have the space for storing all the extras, or the money to purchase storage containers. The beauty of this option is that you can enjoy creating something unique of your own, that doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t require as much patience as an entire canvas. Give them to your friends or make free-style magnets out of them and put them on your fridge. Decorate your kid’s shoes, backpacks or your purses. Anything that you can glue drills to is fair game for using them up. Maybe even create your own diamond art images to use them on. See Creating Custom Diamond Art… When I ran across the following free-style card set for using up extra drills, a new world was opened to my imagination for using up the leftovers – COLORING BOOKS…and glue sheets! Oh, dear, here I go down another rabbit hole! https://amzn.to/4rTlD54
Here is another set of small mini-diamond art cards, but the set includes the diamonds as well as the cards. This would be perfect for beginners who don’t want to tackle a large canvas just yet, or who want to see if they can master the precision required of the square drills. https://amzn.to/4lORrXt
Here are some self-adhesive magnetic sheets that you can peel the adhesive side off and adhere your drills to in a freestyle design on the existing stickiness. Easily cut with scissors if you want to make different shapes. You can also place the mini diamond art cards onto the adhesive side and use them as large refrigerator display magnets. https://amzn.to/4mo6hV6
This video shows another way to use them with free cross-stitch patterns. This one is from Meloca Designs https://www.melocadesigns.com and you just might find yourself crawling down a whole ‘nother rabbit hole looking for free cross-stitch patterns. Just make sure that the pattern you use is sized correctly for the 2.8 mm drills. https://www.tiktok.com/@melocadesigns/video/7202701481328332037?lang=en
And lastly, you can put the extra drills on tumblers, your fingernails, and with the proper sealant, you can even put them on your shoes and enhance your purses.
Here are some alternative glues you can use for putting drills on fabrics, tennis shoes, tumblers, etc.
