Tips / Tricks / Tools I received my organizers today!

I was so excited when these arrived! I spent the last 3ish hours unboxing and transferring drills into these new bins. It took awhile because I had to cut and place each piece of yellow washi tape (for easy removal when I am finished) and place each custom sticker label on top.

I designed, printed, and cut the labels myself because this kit only came with a poorly placed guide on the BACK of the canvas πŸ˜… Fortunately I very much enjoy designing these systems and it was super satisfying when it all came together!

I’m genuinely so excited to dive back into this painting now, but I have to make myself stop and go make dinner or else I’ll sit here all night lol. Was just so excited to share because I don’t have any friends who are into the hobby!

These are the organizers I got: https://a.co/d/0arCzwxE and the diamond painting is Cat With Flowers from the spring shop at Hobby Lobby βœ¨πŸˆπŸ’•

Omg i knoooww right, the mini trays are genius. I will try testing my sticker labels right on them, and hopefully I could cut out the washi tape step, too. Thank you for the tip!

The stickers you made are stunning tho. How did u get the right symbols on the program. Did you just take a picture of the legend?

Aww, thank you! πŸ₯Ή Yes, I took a few photos on my phone of the legend on the canvas and sent the photos to my computer. In photoshop I made the rectangles and numbers myself. I cut out the symbols from the photos, and pasted them on my rectangles. Lastly I printed them out on sticker paper and cut them with my cutting machine. Definitely satisfied my DIY itch tonight!
