Let me start by saying these Geyoga diamond painting purses are *adorable*. I made both designs over a weekend while binge-watching my favorite show, and the process was oddly therapeutic. The PU leather feels sturdy, and the pre-printed patterns (with clear symbols/numbers) made it foolproof—even for someone like me who usually glues rhinestones to their fingers instead of the project.

Pros: The kits come with EVERYTHING—two purses, tools, and *so many* diamonds (I had leftovers!). Finished bags hold lipsticks, cards, and even my chunky phone. I’ve gotten nonstop compliments at brunch; one friend thought it was designer! Perfect for gifting—I’m already planning to make these for bridesmaids.

Cons: That glue? Yeah, it’s… optimistic. I lost a few gems before I started aggressively rolling them down (pro tip: use a heavy book overnight!). The gold diamonds (#8) were drama—many arrived stuck together or with tops popped off. Swapping them for #6 rhinestones saved my sanity.

Must-do: SEAL THEM. I used Mod Podge Fabric after reading reviews, and my purses survived a toddler’s curiosity test. Without sealing? Those sparkles will bail faster than guests at a bad party.

Final verdict: 8/10 for crafty fashionistas who don’t mind putting in extra sealing work. Just avoid wearing black pants—you’ll constantly brush escaped diamonds off your lap!
