Ann Williams Group Loopdedoo Friendship Bracelet Maker

For my granddaughter, it’s perfect for her age fun to put together to make bracelets and fancy jewelry

Omg so much fun! So I bought this for my 9yo ( I actually kinda bought it because I wanted to play with it too) and she thinks it’s awesomeness! Everything about this toy is so much fun! Bracelets that it makes are beautiful and my daughter likes for me to make them for her so we both get the Best of both worlds. She gets bracelets and I get to loom!!! This is a definite must buy or something to put on your Christmas list for your child, and yourself…, LOL! As for everything else, the instructions are clear as a bell and easy to follow and you just can’t go wrong buying this thing. You will have so much fun with it I promise! OH! One last thing...you do need to buy more Embroidery floss… The ones that come with the loom are very blah and if you really want bracelets that pop you’re going to want to get one of those packages of 150 or so packs of embroidery floss! They are pretty cheap and there r tons to choose from on Amazon. I also recommend getting embroidery floss bobbins (the little cards that u wrap the embroidery floss onto...) so u don’t end up with a 150 Color ball of floss! It knots up very easily!

This toy is FUN. The bracelets, necklaces and belts are colorful and easy to make. Referring to online videos helps the user understand some of the more complicated items quickly, and helps fill the gaps in the instructions that come with the kit. Making things is fun. Its been even more fun finding alternative uses for the completed strands. They can be used just like any decorative item: Using a friends favorite colors to design strands to sew/weave/ knit onto/into personalized craft projects, or matching a uniform's colors along with just a bit of accent color to create sewn in loops for work badges, or adding beads and sewing the result into spirals to make wall decorations ... the uses are as limitless as your imagination. This is not a big deal, however, the gears keep this from being a 5/5-star score item: After a fairly short time I changed to doing the twisting mostly by myself, because the gears grated and turned in an uneven, clunky fashion. The manufacturer's can't claim they insisted on top notch quality control there. Fortunately, its nearly as fast to use the kit for the parts its helpful for, and just do the color - covering (the gears job) by twisting the base threads myself, a bit at a time. Also, don't plan on rescuing any embroidery threads that you (at the kits instruction, for longer items) slip (or accidentally let slip) into the gears to hold. That won't work well - the threads look like the cat got to them after a trip between the gears. Speaking of 'the cat got to them', for safety I always keep the kit up away where the cat can't get to it when I have a project on it. I don't want to come home to find that he has swallowed some of the threads and now has to go to the vet for surgical extraction. Just a heads up, to be safe. None of these factors dims the overall enjoyment of playing with the Loopdedoo. The bracelets are quick, pretty and a lot of fun to make. I get my thread refills from the fabric store so I can customize colors, and I'd suggest doing that for the greater variety and lower cost. This is a great invention, and great fun. Using it always makes me smile.

The ColorSpin Bracelet Maker is blast! Just slide a rubber bracelet into the maker and follow the patterns with colored markers. Vibrant, bold patterns appear in seconds. My 6 year old loved it! Unassisted jewelry making that she can wear and share!

OK, it works exactly as it’s described and it comes with all of the parts having said that it is physically painful for me to pull the bracelets off and on the stick I would not recommend getting this for grandparents because it’s really difficult and I’m only in my early 50s. So if there was someway to make the bracelets easier to get off and on the spinning stick, I would give it five stars for sure.

A fun concept and my kids love making these bracelets but the instructions for the required knots are too much for my 8 and 10 year old kids. They still need adult help for the knots or else their creations quickly unravel which is disappointing

My 11 year old granddaughter loved this. Easy to use.

It has everything you need! And it’s fun. One of those things you can just pick up and do! Self contained comes with the floss and beads and a storage drawer built in!

This is easily the best of its kind. My Granddaughters preferred it to the others. It’s great also because it packs away neatly. Great gift idea!!!!!

Got it for my daughter as an after exam activity and she loved it so much, she made bracelets for her friends.

Good product, although not as easy to use as we thought. Ending up doing most of the process.. may be more suitable for 10-12yrs and up.

Only half of the threads were in this it states on the box packaging contains 18 threads yet only 9 were included and there was a bracelet already made as if it had already been used.

Muy bueno, con pocos hilos. Deberás comprar mas hilos pronto o pedirlos de una vez
