Review on 🎨 Labeol Painting Stickers: A Creative Starter Kit for Beginners by Tom Herman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Makes my mom happy with Alzheimer's

I bought this to try with my mom who is 98 and has Alzheimer's. She can no longer embroider because she is too confused and trying to help her was disappointing for both of us. I had never tried painting with diamonds, but I was willing to try anything to help her get creative again. Once the design was in place and I could help her understand how it worked, she focused and was able to complete the decal. It wasn't perfect, but she was very proud of it. One sticker per session was enough for her, but she looks forward to doing it 2-3 times a week. When it occurs to her that they are stickers, she also likes the idea of either sticking them on some of her belongings or paying a visit to one of her great-grandchildren. I find the craft is easy, but the setup to get to work is finicky. And storage to be able to use leftovers from one sticker in other stickers is a challenge. I wish I had bought a diamond painting storage case before we started and put all the beads in individually labeled cases. Luckily my mother was patient, but it could have turned out differently! If you're buying these, I suggest you get a diamond painting storage system and set everything up before telling your child or dementia patient you have a craft to try.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
