Review on LFMU Painting Embroidery Decoration 12X16Inch by Lori Aguirre

I am new to diamond painting but I decided to try it and this design is so cute! It turns out to be a great stress reliever. The package has a canvas that is pre-printed with colors and a diamond-colored letter that needs to be attached. All labels are easy to read and evenly distributed. The diamonds perfectly color the letter indicator on the canvas when in place. The canvas itself is a high quality canvas, will not stretch and comes with sticky adhesive and plastic coating. I've learned to keep a plastic cover on it and only open the part I'm working on so my hands don't get stuck to the canvas while working! "Diamonds" are actually plastic. They are not shiny, but because they are multi-faceted, they reflect light and give the impression of rays. Each of the colors comes in clearly marked packaging. I don't understand why the manufacturer uses numbers and letters on the colors. This is confusing as there are only letters on the canvas. The numbers do not match the order of the letters. I would have thought 1 would be A, but it isn't. It's totally random. There is a tool for placing diamonds. This is a plastic stick with a smaller hollow metal tube sticking out from one end. You stick the tube into the hard glue and then you take the diamonds and place them on the letters on the sticky part of the canvas. They really stay when they are in place. Each time I'm done I put the plastic cover on and press them down with a book so they stick firmly to it. There is also a small green color tablet that I am working on. It has ridges and if you gently rock it back and forth it will help rotate the diamonds in the right direction, making it easy for you to pick them up and place them where they need to be. Everything you need is here and you can start working on it as soon as it arrives. I would recommend this set to anyone looking for a fun activity!
