National Sticker Day with Chocolate Highlights

Finished Sweet Shop from Petit Collage Mosaic Sticker Art Kit

Monday, January 13, 2020, will be the 5th National Sticker Day celebration. In honor of this new fun holiday, I want to share a little craft kit I tested last year for the Amazon Vine program. But I also want to share this personal tidbit with you all. I LOVE stickers! I've been collecting stickers since grade school, I have some books of stickers I've collected, and my friends and family all know that if you get something from me without a sticker... are you sure it came from me? I was sent the Petit Collage Mosaic Sticker Art Kit with Over 1000 Stickers, Sweet Shop, for free in exchange for an honest review of it on the Amazon website; this blog coverage is an unexpected bonus that neither Petit College or Amazon may or may not like. No other form of compensation was received.

6 Sweet Shop Sticker Desserts

The box this kit came in looks like a briefcase because it has a rope handle but inside are pages of stickers and hard cardboard shapes for the stickers. The first thing to note is that all of the forms are printed and show you by shape, size, and color which stickers to use. That made applying the stickers more mediative than creative for me until some of the forms and the background panel turned out to not have enough stickers of the shown type or color. Then I had to get creative. For example, the gray stickers that should go along the top of three of the background panels required over a dozen more stickers than came in the kit. I used another color when I figured that out but it was too late to make it a cool pattern.

One good thing / bad thing with the stickers is that they stick really well. If you don't align it perfectly (I'm not perfect, I know you are shocked, right?) it shows in the final creation as you can see in this photo.

Misaligned Stickers

There are also problems with the glitter stickers. They don't stick as well so you can move them if you do it quickly but they also tend to roll up along the edges as you an see in this photo of the large plated strawberry cake whose stickers were on top of those in the box. For some reason, that first layer of stickers was the most damaged in this rolling edges fashion.

For the purposes of this blog here are photos of the desserts and the background sections that showed chocolatey treats not already covered in previous photos.

This was fun to do, relaxing until I ran out of some of the stickers. I did it all in 3.5 hours because once I could started, I didn't want to stop. I just wish there were more than 1000 stickers so you could have at last 10 more of each type that you needed in case you make mistakes.

Now I don't know what to do with the entire thing. Sadly, the glitter stickers make it unrecyclable in my community. Maybe I could give some away or donate as decorations?

That's the Petit Collage Mosaic Sticker Art Kit with Over 1000 Stickers, Sweet Shop. Would something like this be fun for your children, grandchildren, or even for yourself? Leave a comment and let me know.
