That was epic length. At first, I didn't think I liked the idea of an overflow container. After all, it is another box and you could have just flowed over into a pretty box. But, after you were working on it, I thought it was a great place for all those colors you get an enormous amount of and take up too many baggies. The tin is pretty too...lol. I'm all caught up now. Thank you so much for sharing!

The overflow box was suggested by a viewer and I thought it would be easier than having to spread the drills out again when adding another box. I hope you are feeling better!

I use leftover drills and dont open new packs unless needed, and keep new packs in a overflow box that way if friends or family need any I can just give them a new pack. And it keeps opened drills more manageable for me.

That could be a good strategy if the bags of the DMC numbers on them and would probably work well for rounds. I would be too afraid the drills wouldn't fit right for squares though.

You could try using the thicker bags for your squares to make them more compact.

I might do that in the future, but I am thinking of getting the slightly bigger 2.5x3 inch bags but it would not fit in my photo box in 3 columns. I was thinking of rotating the box and doing 4 columns to fit them.

No, I use the drills that come with the diamond painting. I would have to open the packs anyways to stash them away so I might as well use what came with the diamond painting.

Joan...I just think it's time to face the cruel reality that you're going to have to do more crown jewel canvases or cross stitch/blank canvas projects. Such a shame...more diamond painting...not!! Sounds like a good excuse to treat yourself, to me. I barely filled out 2 boxes (pre-AB buying) until I moved to the thicker bags since they do hold a bit less and by the time I reached that point, I was already looking at doing some projects with my spares because I felt like I had a lot...which happened to coincide with the changed pricing structure for crown jewel canvases (no more upcharges for things like poured glue). I only have 5 boxes of spares because half of them are just my overflow AB's (wish I were joking) and those ones I plan to move to a baseball card box and bigger bags (the 3x3 bags were a bit too wide and I'm really anal about needing things to be uniform so I'll be buying 2.5x3 bags eventually, I just haven't gotten around to it, yet). Yes, those boxes are ugly and the lids make it worse because they're produced flat/made to fold together which makes the lids extra bulky, but I think for a case of overflowing extras, they'll work really perfectly.. I have some Ikea Kallax units and some of the shelving inserts and plan to modify one to make it have 3 shelves (the default options are 2 shelves or 5 shelves) by measuring 1/3 and 2/3 and drilling new holes so then I can keep the boxes without a lid and don't have to worry about crushing them...problem is, my current shelving unit is not a kallax as they don't make 2x3 versions and that's what I use in my diamond painting corner. I think I'm going to steal my daughter's 2x2 and put the Target 2x3 into her room when we're done with our upcoming renovations since 2 of the cubes in mine are books. The Target cubbies are larger and the kallax inserts don't fit. I'm also thinking of rearranging my spares and keeping my rounds separate, too...but I'm not sure if I want to use a photo box for them or just use a row in the baseball card box because I have so few of them. Some of my very first projects were rounds and one DAC I did was round because I liked the image, it was cheap and round was the only option for it, so I definitely have some...but let's just say it would be a severely wasted effort if I made dividers for every color if/when I split them from my squares. Most of my recent rounds have been acquired through things like diamond painting stickers or projects I've gotten for my kids (the keychains make great tree ornaments).

I still have my 4 HAEDs kitted up so I think I need to finish at least 1-2 of them before I think of getting another. I am thinking of looking at my overflow box as inspiration of the color scheme for the picture so that I would use up what's in there. I think remember you did one of the crown jewel canvases. Would you say there was enough gapping in it to possibly diamond paint it using round drills? I know the rounds are bigger but if the gapping was big enough, it might work. I figure the printed canvas would work for rounds. I'm not sure what kind of effect I would get diamonding painting a blank canvas with rounds since the background would be white. My round stash is getting pretty big too now so I am thinking what to do with them. I was actually thinking the 2x3 bags seem too small and the 2.5x3 bags would fit substantially more. I am using the Better Homes and Garden Cube storage from Walmart but they are 13 inch wide squares like the Kallax.

@@JoanDiamondPaints no, the gapping is minimal. Definitely not doable for rounds. I think with how many off the canvas projects you do that freestyling something is your best bet for using rounds. Maybe a mug or something else you can use to hold accessories.
