(More customer reviews)This product has been so much fun!!! I wish I would've started when I was still pregnant. I've been at it now for a couple of months and am not yet done.
I would recommend buyers purchase their own painting tools. These items are relatively inexpensive, and the ones that come in the kit aren't that great. I spent about 5-10 bucks on painting tools, and it was well worth it. The acrylic paint is what gets you, in terms of cost, anyways. I probably spent about 100 bucks on paint, maybe more.
The stencils begin losing a lot of their sticky after about 8-10 applications. So for the grass, picket fence, and other stencils you will use repeatedly, use them in high priority areas first.
The stencils still work very well on texturized walls.
If you are painting the room a base color, I would wait several days before using the stencils. The paint may otherwise lift up. The instructions say that you can also sprinkle some baby powder on the stencils to make them less sticky (which supposedly lessens the risk of lifting the paint underneath). I was paranoid so I tried this, and it was a waste of a stencil. It lost it's sticky almost entirely, and was not at all necessary. Luckily it was a stencil I only needed to use once.
It's tempting to add the butterflies, birds, bugs, etc. in the beginning, but I would recommend waiting until your tree, flowers, fence, grass, and other big items are painted.
I painted the flowers on the tree three difference colors, and it didn't look so good. Not awful, but not great. Now the stencil has lost it's sticky, so I am going back now and hand-painting all of the flowers the same color.
For fun I also purchased some glitter paint (clear paint with some sparkles in it). This was a nice touch on the bees wings, and other places that could use some uumph.
Very fun activity. So glad I bought it!
