Edit: Due to repeated requests: I will be creating and posting a follow-up video that shows how my husband helped me to actually "hang" these pieces on our wall. Since he did it, I need to do a little research first, and/or find time when he can do a video with me, and then I will share that "how to" with you all as well. - Thanks for watching and letting me know I left out this VERY important step!!! Be sure to subscribe and click that notification bell so you can be notified when I upload the follow-up "how to hang" video!
Original Text:
Watch me transform my diamond painting canvases into beautiful pieces of art to hang on the wall.
I have searched and searched for an easy way to "frame" all these uniquely sized diamond paintings, in an economical and relatively easy fashion. After MUCH research, this is what I came up with, and I am happy with the outcome.
I hope you are able to find some or all of these tips useful/helpful, and may be able to implement them into your diamond painting "finishing" processes.
If you enjoyed this video please give it a “Like”, “Subscribe” if you’d like to see more content as I create it, and leave any comments or suggestions in the comments section. Thank you!
