Surprise Round Diamond Painting Drills

You do not get to choose the colors. That is not a shortcoming of the listing, it is the product.

These are sealed packs of round drills pulled at random off the studio shelves, every one of them DMC numbered and labeled, so while you did not pick the shade you always know precisely what shade it is. Order 5, 10, 15 or 20 packs. Round AB bags get mixed in among the rest, which is either a bonus or an inconvenience depending on how you feel about AB drills.

The labeling is the useful part. A random drill is a nuisance. A random drill with a DMC number on it goes straight into the drawer beside the ones you already own, and turns up two months later as the exact shade some kit ran short on.

The details

• Round drills only, not square
• Every pack sealed, DMC numbered and labeled
• Random assortment; specific shades cannot be requested
• Round AB drill bags mixed in with the packs
• Choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 packs

Straight talk

Assortments vary from order to order, so treat this as a stash-builder and a top-up rather than a way to source one particular color for a canvas you are in the middle of. If you need DMC 3865 specifically, buy DMC 3865 specifically. There is no canvas, no pen and no tray here, just drills. And they are round, so they will not sit flush on a square-drill canvas if a repair was the plan.

You open them, you sort them, and somewhere in the pile is a color you would never have bought on purpose.
