Diamond Art Drill Packet Tray

Printed to order in the studio, and aimed squarely at the pile. It begins as three packets you needed today and ends as the whole project face-down across the table, where you dig for a color you are certain is in there.

Each drill packet tray stands twelve packets on edge like recipe cards, tilted back so the labels read from where you are already sitting. Two come in this listing, joined at the base by a hidden pin-and-socket connection, which puts twenty-four colors side by side at once. No lid to flip open. You reach, and go.

The base join is the part worth paying for. Every tray clips to the next along it, so a palette that outgrows twenty-four slots does not mean replacing what you own, only adding to the row.

The details

• 2 trays, 12 tilted slots each
• 5.45 x 2.74 x 2.0 in (13.8 x 7.0 x 5.1 cm) per tray
• Fits standard square or round resin drill packets up to about 2 x 3 in (5 x 7.6 cm)
• Hidden peg-and-socket join along the base for connecting further trays
• 3D printed PETG, printed to order, about 5.5 oz (155 g)
• Open design, no lid

Straight talk

These organize packets, they do not seal them. Knock a tray and the packets go across the floor rather than staying shut inside a box. Anything larger than about 2 by 3 inches will not seat properly in a slot. Each pair is printed after you order rather than pulled from a shelf. Drill packets, canvas and kit contents are not included: this is the trays only.

The pile becomes a row, and the color you want is the one you can already see.
