After I wrote the previous post, I happened to be by Hobby Lobby. They have a few of the animal print stencils at $2.99 each. They have leopard, zebra and giraffe. Apparently the leopard spots are very similar to jaguar only bigger. Got a leopard one to play with till the others arrive.

Has anyone used the self - adhesive / stick on gems on kids skin? Any issues?

I used them for a princess party yesterday. I have had problems with the self stick popping off thick paint so I took a tip from Linda and I'll q-tip off a spot and stick them on.

The consensus seems to be to use the cosmetic adhesive, even for self stick, because it's approved for skin and self-adhesive gems are designed for paper.

Yesterday I tried a complex self stick on it's own and it fell off. I had to use glitter glue to make it stay on.

So, you might as well use the cosmetic glue and clean off a spot if possible.
