Hi! I recently purchased the DAC painting “Ocean Eyes” by Margaret Morales as my first ever diamond painting. I was super excited and failed to look at the size, and accidentally got a 22”x29” canvas as my first ever DA project.

I started by doing one color at a time, which feels the most organized and satisfying to me, but I realized that it’s causing problems with the sectioned covers and spaces of glue being exposed to air. The only other way I can think to do it is one square at a time- which seems super unorganized and would require a ton of back and forth between constantly pouring out drills and putting them back. Does anyone have any other methods they use to manage a large canvas? Any help would be appreciated!
