Diamond Drills Getting Stuck Together & Lifting Off Of The Canvas? How To Solve Difficult, Tricky & Sticky Diamond Problems!
Tricky, Sticky Little Gems
To all my fellow diamond painting enthusiasts: If you’re like me, I am sure you’ve had issues with drills lifting off your canvas and your diamonds getting all stuck together and are impossible to get apart. After all, these are some of the most common yet tricky problems that can become a challenge for diamond painters of all experience levels. I guess any time you’re crafting with tiny little diamonds it can get a bit frustrating when they don’t want to cooperate.
Don’t worry, you’re in luck! I am going to share with you some of my favorite solutions to those struggles with the drill. There are some excellent handy tools that are designed to make those tiny gems cooperate. You can stop getting frustrated with supplies and have a more enjoyable crafting experience and create beautiful works of art.
The Diamond Roller
Let me share with you my absolute favorite tools for securing those stubborn drills. I promise if you try it this will instantly become one of your favorite tools as well. It is called the Diamond Roller.
Diamond painting can be a bit time consuming, but when you are finished you get the satisfaction of having a beautiful piece of art work. Sadly it’s not always that simple. There is nothing more annoying than taking the time to place each diamond in its precise and correct spot only to notice that they are falling off the canvas. Square drills are especially a concern because the gem must be perfectly positioned or it will pop off of the canvas. If one diamond is out of place it will begin to put pressure on the surrounding diamonds resulting in lifting drills and who enjoys that?
The Diamond Roller applies smooth, even force to assist in putting those rebellious diamonds in their place! The rolling action redistributes the pressure among the drills, helping to create a firm hold and evenness that lasts. This can also assist with creating a diamond painting faster and more efficient. Rather than forcefully pushing each drill onto the canvas for a tight fit, place is gently onto the surface then when the section is complete, use the diamond roller to sweep the area a few times to secure everything in place.
The Drill Grinder
The diamonds you use while painting with diamonds may not be real but they do still have some of the same characteristics, or shall we say ‘imperfections.’ Often times there will be drills that are struck together that just will not come apart no matter what. It can be difficult to get those fused drills apart especially without breaking them in the process.
Why risk damaging your supplies when they have tools out there such as the Drill Grinder that can easily assist in separating them quickly? The drill grinder is very simple to use. All you need to do is drop your stuck-together drills into the toothed chamber, close the lid, and then twist and shake the grinder gently. The spiky inner surface firmly but gently separates the drills so that they come out of the grinder in perfect shape and ready to be applied to your canvas.
My favorite thing about the drill grinder and the diamond roller are that they are very small. This makes both tools easy to store away or travel with. You never know where you may want to go to create a beautiful work of art. They are both great for crafting on the go!
