diamond art in sequence

I discovered paint by sticker a while back and recently was introduced to diamond art club. It involves placing small circle shaped dots onto a color coded sheet which eventually forms a larger picture. 

This was time consuming and somewhat messy. 

Small dots would often bounce off the applicator when pressed onto the coloring page. Sometimes they would get stuck on the applicator pen lodged inside the small metal tub. There were several times when I had to sweep up small pieces of the different colored dots from my clothing, floor and seats. 

The next time I venture into the world of sticker art at least I'm prepared for how to manage the diamond art.
