Hello Kitty Sticker Maker

My four-year-old daughter received this for Christmas and was unable to play with it without some major assistance from me. The idea is a good one, you make your own stickers out of virtually any teeny little picture by inserting them between sticky tape and sticker tape. You crank a little handle and the picture slides through (if you're lucky) and is now sandwiched between the tapes and a sticker is born.

Unfortunately, the sticky tape and the new stickers have a tendency to get jammed in the slot where they exit when finished. This happened our first time out and, because we didn't realize what was happening, my daughter turned the handle far too many times and the paper and tape turned into a crinkly mess. I managed to fix this with scissors but we were left with very little sticky tape after the ordeal (the set comes with a very skimpy roll by the way). The next few tries were met with varied levels of success. Many of the stickers did not come out smooth. "They're bumpy mom" ~ my sweet child cried in dismay after our third lame attempt. Also, if you do not line up little pictures one after the other you will waste a lot of this precious tape.

This product is overpriced for what you get, if you ask me. The sticker machine, the two teensy rolls of tape, a few little cards, a sheet of Hello Kitty printed paper (this is cute), a Hello Kitty stamper & ink pad, stencil, scissors, four cheap crayons, and a storage bin will give you about one hour of frustration. To make matters worse (and up my frustration level to new heights) there was no reorder sheet enclosed in my box for the tape rolls so I have to go on a search to find rolls that'll fit. More likely though, this toy will end up on a shelf collecting dust.

My advice? Save your money and buy yourself a roll of clear packing tape and some self-adhesive backed paper instead. You'll get similar results without all of the aggravation.

My daughter purchased this with her own money. Looks very neat, but a sticker making machine from any scrapbook store functions much better. Rather than applying the adhesive to the back of the material being sent through the machine, a clear plastic layer is applied to the top, and stuck to another paper layer on the bottom. Thus one needs to ensure that there is a border left around the sticker created to keep the top layer adhered to the bottom layer. Very poorly designed. I have also not been able to locate any replacement materials, so the machine becomes useless in short order.

I wouldn't consider to buy the toy if I knew there is no replacement material available. The value and the lifetime of this toy will be definitely upgraded if we can get the refilled material.

My daughter received this item as a birthday gift. She had loads of fun--all in one day! The materials included with the toy were exhausted quite rapidly. I have been searching the internet and stores for replacements--none to be found.

My daughter bought this toy with money she saved, used up all the parts in less than an hour, and we were disappointed to find NO information on how to get replacement pieces to keep making stickers. This is a major problem with this toy.

The toy is great! my daughter received it from the Easter Bunny of 2003. However, she went through the sticker maker materials quite fast (within three days). I've been seaching everywhere for additional materials and not one store seems to carry it. This toy would be so much more usefule if you would be able to buy refill materials.

i bought this toy for my 10 year old daughter and she loved it!She kept playing with it.SHE MADE ALL THE HELLOKITTY STICKERS.i give this toy a 4 ,the only thing i wish is it came with more stickers!

My daughter received this item for Christmas and in one day used up all of the tape and stickers. Had I known that there were no replacement parts available, I would not have bought it. I do NOT think that it is a good value for the price of $14.99 because she was only able to use it for one day!

My 4 1/2 year old daughter LOVED this sticker maker. Once we showed her how it worked, she was able to make stickers on her own and used it for four hours straight! I am now looking to see if refills are available or if I will need to buy another set. Either way, we will purchase this item again. I highly recommend it!
