Diamond Painting Tool Kit

This post is for (long time lurker) Marie who asked me where Marc got the little pick up tool set I used used on my subtle jewelled cards - http://itsallfiddlefart.blogspot.com/2020_09_22_archive.html. 


I had a mooch and found that it's categorized as a 5D Diamond Painting Tool Kit and if you put the words into an eBay search quite a few come up that are available from UK companies priced at around  £5.99, but it's worth shopping around to see if you can get one even cheaper.

Knowing Marc I reckon he got his from China for considerably less, at around the £2 mark, it just depends if you are happy to wait two or three weeks instead of a couple of days.  

I have bought quite a lot from China this year because of the prices and bulk available, i.e 40 mini wood peg dolls for £4.91 and in some cases the parcels have arrived within two weeks.

One of my favourite buys this year has been a bag of 150 wooden laser cut Halloween shapes for just £3.97 inc P & P.  I haven't used them yet, but again I am thinking badge/pin brooches or a nine square card?

I've gotten quite a few things directly from China, too, because the prices are so reasonable--sometimes just 1/10th the price of a similar U.S. product.

Thank you so much for the information! Looks like a brilliant bit of kit. Marie x
