I'm a newbie in here, can you help me?

Hi guys!

I'm a newbie in a diamond art world. I really love this, but I have same questions.

So:

- Where should I order from?

So far I've only tried Temus sets. I live in Hungary and unfortunately it's very difficult to make a living and make money here, so I can't spend too much money on this hobby. :/

- Is there anything else I can use as " glue" ? So far they've always sent that little square glue stick for Temus pictures, which I hatešŸ˜…

Other informations:

I prefer smaller (30x40) diamond arts, especially square ones.

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad English, Hungarian is my native languageā¤ļø

I order in 90% from Aliexpress, if you do your research you can get cheap kits there with quality comparable with the higher end shops, I think itā€™s better than Temu. For the glue you can also use putty, glue microdots, or there are vacuum pens that rely on suction, i didnā€™t like the one I tried though.

search for glue dots on aliexpress or temu and look for the ones that come in a roll! you can use mounting putty as putty for diamond painting, its stringier than actual diamond painting putty but works just aswell!

Senterwan and Tuoyu DP offer pretty good quality (Temu). Both sell square stones. You'll need to read the description a bit more carefully, though. Tuoyu sells resin stones.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "glue."

I second Ali Express. You can pick your size and your drill shape

I believe the glue you are referring to is actually the wax (the stuff you put in the pen to hold the diamond as you attach it to the canvas (which has glue on). You don't have to use the wax at all. They make electric (rechargeable) vacuum pens that will use suction to pick up and hold the diamond drill while you place it. This is by far my preference.
