Tips / Tricks / Tools What a surprise!
Hey everyone!! I am getting ready to kit up my next project and I just opened it up. I purchased this off of Ali Express from Ever Moment. It had of course your regular supplies such as canvas, drills, wax and pens. To my surprise it also has tweezers, washi tape, and stickers!! I love that it has stickers!! I’ve only had one kit that had that and that was from Dreamer Designs. It’s a 45x30 and cost me about $25. So it wasn’t real cheap like some on that site but it wasn’t 75-80 like on the name brands. I will know after I complete it but as of right now I am a very happy camper lol 😀
Almost forgot, it also came in a sturdy tube rolled up so no creases 😊

Me too. I've purchased diamond painting kits off of AliExpress since 2018.

Well, OP specified it's Ever Moment. They have a storefront on AliExpress.

They have the best packaging. I especially love the cardboard tube. The canvases basically don't even need to be flattened. Some of the smaller kits are still reasonably priced and they're having a sale now, but they raised their prices a lot when the tariffs started hitting and never reduced them when they were removed

Gotcha, it’s been awhile since I’ve ordered because I got a little carried away when I first got started so I’ve been trying not to buy any more for awhile lol. Don’t know how long that will last cause there’s some in my cart that I really really want 😂

Someone posted on here recently something that really describes me, to paraphrase: My hobby is 2 hobbies - the actual hobby and buying stuff for the hobby.
I have more DP canvases than I could do in years and I keep buying them

u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
Oh man, that is so me!! I have 137 still left to do, and I have 24 in my cart that I really want to buy! 😳

I'm not counting and you can't make me!

u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
I just looked and I’ve completed 21 and I want 24 that’s in my cart. That would be a fair trade, right?

u/mereseydotes 11d ago
You better buy them now, because they might not be available 5 minutes from now. Or they could be like Ever Moment and raise the prices and then you wish you'd bought a lot more when they were less expensive

u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
Exactly!! I’ve had that happen! I had some I really wanted and when I went back half of them were sold out ☹️

I know what you mean. I know that I have at least 200 kits if not more. I have about 35 DAC and 25 Dreamer Designs. I'm waiting on four more DAC that was supposed to ship on May 15th. The rest are from Temu and Shein. And I still keep looking 😔 Thank goodness I got my daughter into DP and she is doing some of the Temu and Shein kits.

Is that carrot in the tool bag a cover minder? But wow, that’s such a pleasant surprise to see how much extras they provide!

u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
Okay, I guess a cover minder is a magnet so yes it is! lol, I didn’t know they were called that

u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
Okay, the other orange thing is actually squares of red wax. I knew that but it didn’t click when I looked at the pic lol
2
u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
That’s a little magnet. It also came with a decent size multi tip and I have to look and see what that other orange thing is lol

u/Dd7990 11d ago
What’s that lil carrot looking thing?
3
u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
It’s a little magnet. I found out tonight they’re called cover minders lol

Ok that’s just too darn cute! I bought quite a few diamond painting kits on AliEx, but I haven’t yet purchased anything from Ever Moment (but have heard good things about that brand/seller). I need to work through my current lil box of DP kits and resist buying more for now though😜🤣 (hubby has already given me the side-eye for accumulating this many DP kits that fills up a small storage box, yet I’m still working on my first ever full drill DP canvas - also b/c my wallet cannot sustain more DP purchases rn) 🤣😅. But this def makes me interested in getting something from Ever Moment in the near future.

My favorite company! I exclusively do customs from them. They're the best!

u/SuspiciousBedroom124 11d ago
I actually was going to buy this same one earlier in the week but they wanted $39.95 for that same size. Maybe tariff changes 😞

u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard too. I found some others really similar, the houses you can see into. The sellers name is MTdiyart. I got three and they ranged from 10-15. The 10 dollar one is a 30x40 and the 15s are 40x50, your choice of square or round. I don’t know if the quality is as good. Guess I’ll find out when they get here lol

I paid Ever Moment $100 for a custom 60 cm x 80 cm. It's still on the way to me. But for what I paid for it, I really hope they include washi tape and stickers in my kit, too!

u/Ctryluv58 9d ago
I hope so too! Let us know when you get it!

It looks great! Make sure to check the paper that has the color code on it. That’s where the stickers were. It just looks like a regular sheet of paper because the stickers are fairly small but if you look close you can see them. I’m sure you’re right but wanted to mention it just in case lol 😊

When I got my Ever Moment custom it came with all that and some larger sized release paper. The quality was also very good on the drills, canvas, and glue. Mine was squares and the grid size was perfect for using Forever Young zigzag rulers.

u/Ctryluv58 11d ago
Mine is a square too, and I just got those zigzag rulers. I’ll have to try them out!

u/Bpositivelypeachy 10d ago
That's awesome. I have several EverMoment kits in my cart, but I'm trying to hold off. lol.

u/crazyfiberlady 10d ago
Is the Key with the color/symbol a sticker sheet or just a print out?
2
u/Ctryluv58 9d ago
It’s actually stickers which I love, because I use a bunch of trays

u/crazyfiberlady 9d ago
Thank you. I prefer when the kits come with stickers as I used containers too so appreciate the ability to just peel and stick without having to make my own.

u/Ctryluv58 9d ago
I found some on Etsy that has a bunch of the symbols that are used. I’ve ordered two sets of them lol. This last project it actually had all of the symbols minus two I think. They are thicker than regular paper so you can use them more than once but of course they lose their stickiness after a bit. I did some research and found something called sticker shield that you can apply and use the stickers over and over. I ordered some and will see how it works lol
