Square drill и round drill в чем отличие

Full round и Full square на Алиэкспресс — как перевести

Ответ:

Многих покупателей смущают обозначения Full round и Full square при покупке алмазной мозаики на Алиэкспресс. На самом же деле все просто, разница состоит лишь в форме стразов, для выкладки картины. Остановимся на обоих вариантах по-подробнее.

Full Round

Дословный перевод на русский Full Round: «полный круг». Это означает, что алмазная мозаика будет состоять из круглых стразов. И вся картинка будет выложена только круглыми элементами. Такой вариант подойдет для картин, которые должны выглядеть более объемными и для подчеркивания мелких деталей

Full Square

Данный вид мозаики на Алиэкспресс переводится как «полный квадрат». Соответственно, Full Square будет означать, что вся картина будет выложена из квадратных элементов. Такой вариант подойдет для новичков, так как с квадратными стразами легче обращаться. Так же подобные детали плотнее прилегают друг к другу.

Из многообразия товаров на Алиэкспресс, вы также сможете найти смешанные алмазные мозаики, состоящие из кругов (round) и квадратов (square) вместе.

[PWD 101] EXPLAINED: How To Choose Between Round And Square Drill

If you’re new to the wonderful world of Diamond Painting, you’re probably a bit overwhelmed. Well, overwhelmed AND super excited to get started!

Well fear not, friend! We’re here to hold your hand as you embark on your Paint With Diamonds journey!

In our new PWD 101 series (PWD stands for Paint With Diamonds btw!), we’ll walk new diamond painters through everything they need to know about this incredible new stress-relieving hobby.

THIS WEEK: We’re going to take a quick look at the difference between square drill and round drill diamond paintings!

DID YOU KNOW: In PWD, the term «diamond» can be used interchangeably with «resin» or «gem.»

Square Vs. Round Drill: What’s The Difference?

In Paint With Diamonds, a «drill» simply refers to the shape of each individual diamond you’ll be applying to your canvas. If it’s confusing, just replace the world «drill» in your head with the word «diamonds.»

In choosing between square and round drill, it’s important to know that there are no right answers. As with so many things in life, this is more or less a subjective preference! Your goal should be to choose whichever shape that YOU personally think is most beautiful :).

Square Drill (aka Square Diamonds)

What People Are Saying

Creates A Fuller, More Complete Looking Painting.

Square drill diamonds look a bit «cleaner» than round drill diamonds. They line up more easily and create a «fuller» mosaic look when enjoyed from a distance.

Square Diamonds Satisfyingly «Snap» Into Place.

Sometimes it’s the little things that matter! When you start making progress on a painting and begin filling in gaps, you get a satisfying «snap» and a sense of achievement, as dorky as that sounds!

Round Drill (aka Round Diamonds)

Easier (And Faster!) To Pick Up And Apply Diamonds.

Round diamonds just seem to stick to the diamond pen better, making the transition seem more seamless.

Finished Painting Feels Less «Complete.»

Given the round shape of the diamonds, gaps between diamonds may appear more apparent when you’re close up with the painting.

We polled our Paint With Diamonds Support Group audience, and the answer couldn’t be clearer. Have a look for yourself!

The overwhelming majority prefers SQUARE over ROUND (383 vs 87!). In fact, almost twice as many of you are indifferent to whether your diamonds are square or round than actually prefer round!

Do you agree with the consensus? Tell us why or why not in the comments down below!

I prefer round drills by far. They are neater, shinier, easy to line up straighter and the “gaps” people are talking about do not make a difference since good canvases match the drill color. Square drills have to be perfect or they look sloppy and out of line, they pop off if not placed perfectly and if not a consistency shape, look messy. You have to be careful where you buy the kits because drills can be very irregular thus making the picture look awful, especially if the drills are square. Sometimes you have to pay a title more form quality products. I’ve done many many paintings and prefer round.

Do you have a book you mail out to your customes? I order a Diamond Kits and love it. And I’m going to order again abd I want to ouder both square and round
Bottom line I LOVE. It and I will remain a customer in ordering the Diamond Kits

Linnie Madden said:

My hands are a little bit shaky as I have emphysema and am on Albuterol which makes most people shaky. I have trouble getting the square diamonds exactly straight in the squares provided. After I have done a bunch will it show that they are a little wonky? I am having a dickens of time straightening them with tweezers.

So far I have only picked the square diamonds, but I have wondered about the round drills, the responses I have read people only like the square, so I will probably stay with them.
My only problem and it’s major is that I cannot find my drills for my John Wayne canvas that I am trying to make for my husband. I just want to buy the diamonds. Can I do that?

Miriam Andrews said:

I like the round diamond because they don’t pop up like the square diamonds

Marguerita said:

Pin to use for each? Round and Square

Terrie said:

I like the round better and that is why I order round but twice now when my kit arrives they are square not happy at all

Jessica Lynn Gormley said:

I like the round only because I’ve had major issues with the square ones staying flat afterwards a lot of mine have popped back up even after using a rolling pin like it says to

Cristiana Kelley said:

Squares. I have always preferred squares, but I thought I’d give a round one a try while I wait for my Square one on the slow boat from China. I have to use that pink pen. The pen isn’t my problem, it’s the pink wax stuff, or the moldable tack stuff. It’s all frustrating, I have to reload all the time and I can only pick one up at a time. I use tweezers with my square ones and it’s so much better, no sticky frustrating stuff and I can pick up and place 2-3 at a time. I can also push the diamonds around to get them perfect with my tweezers. The pink good just collapses when you try to push the round around with the end of it, so you better get right the first time.

Geraldine Kurkjian said:

I received my order # 114-1096915-8224259 and it came in round diamonds and I want square diamonds, how do I exchange this product correctly?

CINDY said:

i tried the square but didnt like it but it was my own fault I used the round pick. I’ll retry and send my answer.

Donna said:

Can you use square diamonds on a round diamond canvas?

Millicent said:

I couldn’t really give a fair vote as I have not tried the square diamonds yet.

Catherine Roberts Clemmer said:

I love my squares. It is prettier

Bonnie said:

I have done both round & square drill. I do this for relaxation & to ease my stress. The round drill are much more calming & relaxing. I really don’t see that much difference between the two when finished. Please give this minority an option for round drill on ALL paintings. Thanks.

Ambhar said:

I’ve tried both round and square drills.
I prefer the square more than the round.

Linda said:

How do I see a pic in

Daralee Donathan said:

I much prefer the square drills. Yes, it takes a bit more time, but the finished product looks so much better than round drills! I don’t care that the round drills can be placed “faster”, I am not looking for fast, I’m looking for the best when I’m finished. I’ve never had a problem with the square drills. Love the products!

Sue LaRose said:

I use round but allot of the kits use only square, I also find the square ones stressful, not calming

corrine baca said:

how can i framemy picture? under glass? do i need abacking?

Kedrin said:

I prefer the round diamonds. The square ones have to be right on and if they’re just a hair off the others won’t fit in place and it throws off the whole painting. Also at the end you have to push down on the drills on the painting to make sure all the diamonds click into place. Then I spray Mod Podge Super Glossy Acrylic spray to set the drills in place. Hope that helps others when picking either square or round.

Pat said:

I love square drills. They really complete the picture. I would like to see more.

Beverly Burton said:

Linda,
Did you ask them here at this site if they could send you the ones you wanted. They might give you a break on the price also.
Good Luck

Michelle McIntyre said:

Using the square is more tedious and nerve racking. If they’re not exactly straight they buckle. Some diamonds are not cut completely making them to big for the space thus creating lines that wobble. Using round, things flow better, I can enjoy doing the picture and it is done faster. The only way you actually see spaces if your up on top of the painting. The background is the same color as the diamond so it blends in nicely. And the shiny effect is more brilliant. I’ve done 30 of these so far and round is my choice.

Nita Grimes said:

Got my first PWD the other day. A little confusing at first but love it. Now looking for a larger picture to work on.

Ernest Smith said:

I have tried both. I actually prefer Round. The Square ones take a LOT more time and the canvas printing is to hard to read The colors of the blocks on the canvas are Very hard to see, hence much more difficult to use the proper Diamond.

YVONNE WESTPHAL said:

I’m new! Love this… I’m on my 2nd round drill and have a square on the way. This is FUN and beautiful!! I’ll stay in touch. My question is how to know the quality of canvas when ordering? The first painting wad from yous and canvas was great, and very sticky. This 2nd one not so much. Differant company.

Linda said:

The round diamonds always come with the background the same color as the diamonds therefore you can hardly see the spaces also the printing is shaped round not square.

Susan Skillin said:

So you use the same type of pen to put the square diamonds in?

Sandy said:

Hi Rena FYI this is a comment section only not Q&A. that’s why no answers. Go to contacts and send questions to PWD and they will get back to you.

Carol Jackson said:

Tried all the tips to flatten the canvas. What works like a charm for me is putting the canvas between 2 pieces of cardboard and slipping it between my mattress and box spring overnight. Works!

Carol Jackson said:

I too have had trouble with the square diamonds. I found in large areas of the same color they start not lining up. Not giving up because portraits do look more realistic. Going to try a tip I just saw, stagger in a diamond pattern – lines up and just fill in. We’ll see! The ‘pop up’ s real & frustrating. Used glitter Modge Podge in the ‘pop up areas’ – kept beads glued and a little glitter effect to hide them.

Debra Scott said:

Hi all, I have tried both square and round and the rounds you can go faster, the trick to squares is to center it on the drill pen and place it dead center on the canvas. I’m getting real fast at.

Carolyn Woodard said:

I have done 3 pics with square drill and love doing them. My sister is doing them with round drills and I don’t care for the looks of finished product. Mine were very enjoyable to do.

Jamie said:

I did an owl for a friend and working in a couple more. I prefer the square because the round looks incomplete. It leave too many gaps and the squares don’t leave gaps and looks finished and professional.

Heather Smith said:

I’m working on my first PWD. My order came with square drill. I like how they fit into place and its pretty easy to place 1 at a time. However using the tool to place multiple diamonds at once, it starts to get sloppy and its really hard to get each of the squares to line up perfectly. They are hard to remove and replace, so I’m having some trouble with diamonds popping back up. I am planning on framing and hanging this piece, and in the long run I think it will be fine and not noticeable, but as a I work its very annoying for them to pop up and sometimes as I try to “smooth” the gems sometimes they pop right off.

If I do this again, I will have to try the round cut 🙂

Dorothy Zierke said:

I Hate square, won’t use!

Deborah Isaacs said:

The first two paintings I finished were using round diamonds. One was a partial painting and the other was a very large, white tiger, partial painting. Turned out awesome. Then I’ve started using square drills and the finished painting is fuller and
Looks more professional.

Betty Matlock said:

I’m on my third painting. First two used round drills. Easy and quick to place. Organized by number. Now, Using square drills, hard to place; Different cuts
are different sizes. Some concave drills too large for canvas pattern. Smaller drills look flat. Also uses symbols, not used to makes for slower work.

Sara said:

I have made over 50 of these for myself and as gifts. I prefer the ease of the round drills but the look of the square drills. Square drills take longer because you have to be more precise but the time invested is worth the quality of the finished product. I also frame them and embellish the frames with flowers, butterflies, feathers, etc. to match the picture. People love them and I have even been able to sell a few!

Deborah Dillow said:

I have done both round and square I love them both but find the square more challenging and take more time to do

Lora said:

I’ve done many of both, and like each technique. My frustration lies in the fact that with the squares, you’ll hear them “snap” in place; then later you’ll see that many have popped up and you then have to go back and snap them down again.

That is taking the fun out of it for me.

Megan said:

I like the round ones i think they better quality and are easier to use and pick up. I didnt like square ones at all

Square vs. Round Drill: Which is Better for Diamond Painting?

After you have read a good beginner’s guide to diamond painting to pick the basic tips and tools from the paint with diamonds (PWD) community, you may be curious about which diamond beads, also known as diamond dots, rhinestones, diamond dotz, or diamond drills, are best for diamond painting. Do you choose 3D or 5D? Which applicator tool is best? Should you use square drills or round drills?

This detailed guide will explore the various choices and options available to the diamond art hobbyist, and you will be sure to gather a few diamond painting tips and techniques along the way.

What Is the Difference Between a 3D Painting and a 5D Painting?

First, let us explain what the terms 3D and 5D diamond painting kits mean in the world of diamond painting. The explanation is simple enough: Diamonds that are considered 3D have three facets on each side, while 5D diamonds have five facets on each side. Just like real diamonds can reflect and refract light with more brilliance when they have multiple facets, the same holds true for 3D diamond beads vs. 5D diamond beads.

It may help to think of 3D diamond beads as analogous to an emerald cut or Asscher cut in terms of their sparkle meter, while 5D diamond beads or drills are similar to the sparkle level that is seen in round cut or princess cut stones. In diamond painting, you will find that 5D diamond drills seem to pop off the canvas more than their slightly less brilliant 3D counterparts. For this reason, the majority of the DIY diamond painting kits that are available for purchase contain only 5D diamonds.

If you do happen to acquire both 3D diamond drills and 5D diamond drills, you may even choose to combine them for different levels of brilliance within your diamond painting creation, much like shading or highlighting works in oil painting or charcoal drawing. Most crafters generally consider 5D diamond drills and 5D diamond painting kits as their preferred facet level when entering this newest trend in DIY home decor.

What Is the Best Tool to Use to Apply Diamond Drills to the Canvas?

Each and every diamond painting kit from a respected retailer like VizuArts includes an applicator tool that is designed specifically for picking up and applying diamond beads with maximum efficiency and effectiveness. The tool resembles a double-side pen or stylus, and it is hollow so that the diamond pen can take in wax. The wax enables the diamond painter to pick up the diamond drills and place them firmly on the canvas. The applicator tool, also known as a diamond pen or diamond drill pen, boasts a comfort grip so that your hands and fingers do not get overtired or sore during longer diamond painting sessions.

So what then is the point of the super-sharp tweezers that are also included in most good diamond painting kits? While tweezers can be used in lieu of the diamond drill pen, especially for experienced crafters who prefer not to use wax (more on that below), most diamond painting hobbyists find that the tweezers are better used for detail work like putting in the last bead in a large section or securing and adjusting beads that are a little off-center, but the tweezers are also useful for the crafter who is using leftover diamond beads to create other diamond art projects.

Wax On or Wax Off?

Wax is included with the diamond painting kit because it is easy to use and most diamond painters find that a wax pad and a diamond applicator pen are all they need to complete their diamond painting masterpiece. For diamond painting hobbyists who are working in warmer climates, wax or other semi-solid adhesives can become too soft for effective use. If this happens to your wax or other adhesive, pop it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow it to cool down to a usable temp. Some diamond painting hobbyists also find it useful to have two wax pads, one for active work and one that is chilled, so they can be alternating as needed.

Wax can leave a bit of residue on the diamond beads even after they are applied to the canvas, so the diamond artist may find herself in the position of having to wipe excess wax away before recovering with the protective plastic sheeting, as well as before sealing or framing the finished diamond painting.

Wax alternatives include using different adhesives like Blu tack or craft putty as well as using different tools, such as tweezers, a manicurist pencil, or a rotating rolling tool. As mentioned previously, using tweezers rather than the diamond applicator tool is a hard skill to master, particularly if you are using round diamond drills rather than square ones (more on round vs. square drills later).

The rotating rolling tool is a circular roller that allows the diamond painter to place multiple diamonds at a time without using wax or other adhesives. The rotating roller tool is similar in concept to the traditional roller vs. the paintbrush when painting a wall. Like a painting roller, the rotating roller tool is a good choice for larger sections of the same color, but it is not recommended for smaller sections or more detailed work. The advantage of a rotating roller tool is speed, but the biggest drawback is the lack of precision that is so critical in creating a professional looking finished product.

Blu tack and craft putty are wax alternatives that can also be considered. Blu tack is more durable and lasts longer in the drill pen than wax, and the methodology is exactly the same as when using the wax in conjunction with a diamond drill pen. Craft putty has similar properties to Blu tack except that it is not a firm, though it is a little firmer than wax.

Despite the varied alternatives, most diamond painters would recommend starting with items included in the diamond painting kit before testing other alternative applicator tools and adhesives.

Does It Matter If You Choose Full Drill or Partial Drill?

All diamond painting kits come with a heavy-duty adhesive canvas, and the canvases range in size from 20 x 20 centimeters (8 x 8 inches) up to 90 centimeters (36 inches) in width, and all 5D diamond painting kits from established retailers like VizuArts come in full drill. Each canvas is DMC coded with symbols that match the individually packaged bag of diamond drills included in the diamond painting art kit, and canvases are weather resistant and heavy enough to resist creasing and wrinkling.

By contrast, partial drill means that while much of the canvas is coded for diamond drill placements, a portion of the canvas is already printed with color. This portion of the canvas is typically a monochromatic background section, so a completed partial drill diamond painting will have flat sections that do not shimmer in addition to the sparkling sections that are fully covered by rhinestones.

If you are on the fence about which option is right for you, consider going with a full drill canvas so that your finished work will have maximum sparkle and optimal consistency.

Should I Use Square Drills vs. Round Drills and What Can I Expect From Each?

Next to choosing the right size and image for your diamond painting, the choice between square drills and round drills is the most important decision you can make that will affect how your completed diamond painting turns out. Each diamond drill is made from deeply pigmented resin and each drill is flat on one side and multi-faceted on the other, as we discussed when comparing 3D diamond drills to 5D diamond drills. Although 3D and 5D diamonds can be mixed on most creative diamond craft projects, round diamonds should not be used on the same piece as square diamonds as the result looks mismatched and inconsistent, like using different fonts within the same sentence.

For crafters who are new to the paint with diamonds community, consider starting your diamond painting journey using round drills. Because the rhinestone is round, it is easier to pick up with the diamond pen applicator tool, and it is also easier to complete a diamond painting without gaps or mismatched rows because the circular nature of the round drill provides a little margin for error in placement. Round diamonds also catch and reflect light with more sparkle than their square counterparts.

More experienced crafters and cross stitchers find that working with square diamonds is a little more satisfying. Since square diamonds are angular, they require a little more precision when being placed on the canvas. Square diamonds are easier to pick up with tweezers, and diamond artists may find that they alternate between using tweezers and the diamond drill pen more often when using square drills.

The biggest benefit to round drills is the higher sparkle level and ease of use, while one of the benefits of using square drills is that the finished diamond painting has a more polished, seamless look, likely tightly woven needlepoint. Perhaps one of the most satisfying reasons diamond painters use square drills is that they produce a rewarding “pop” sound as they are snapped into place by the artist, and the simple thrill of that pop provides a sense of accomplishment when finishing a section of the diamond painting.

In summary, consider starting with round drills if you are new to crafting in general or diamond painting in particular. After you have a diamond painting or two under your belt, try your hand at square drills and see which you like best, both in terms of the completed project as well as in terms of how much you enjoy working with each shape.

Whimsical, Fantastical, Disney, or Choose Your Own Image: So Many Options

Are you drawn to the life supported by the deep blue sea? Perhaps Disney is more your thing, or maybe you are drawn to whimsy and fantasy. With so many diamond painting kit options available, you should have no trouble finding an image that suits your interests.

If you want to go for a truly unique look, consider using one of your images to create a one of kind diamond painting. Review your options from your own gallery of high-resolution digital images, and select one that will bring a smile to your face each time you work on it, or, later, each time you come into the room where your original work has been hung.
