Never heard of it. Had to look it up. Interesting.

I have discovered diamond painting. I find it very relaxing. It is similar to paint by number and cross stitching. Something different from the usual crafts I do. Anybody else try it?

You can use baby wipes.

Nail polish remover will also remove many types of sticky glue residue... I don't polish my nails, lol, but I keep a bottle of that stuff in the bathroom cabinet just for the purpose of removing glue. 'Goo Gone' is also handy for removing glue and other funky residues.

In most cases I'd agree with you, but in this case, I'd be afraid that both of them would mess up the little resin drills (beads). Not to mention that they would be hard to clean with them, especially the nail polish remover. The drills aren't much bigger than a plastic headed straight pin head. The baby wipe work, this is what all the "painters" use.

Okey-dokey, I've never seen a "diamond painting" before, so pardon my ignorance, lol.

My husband got me a cat's face a couple years back. We'd work on it together. Of course the real cat hair stuck to it pretty good, we kept the plastic over it when not in use. It's now hanging on our wall
