Loopdedoo DIY Friendship Bracelet Maker Kit for Kids - Make Bracelets in Minutes for Birthdays and Friendship Gifts - Award Winning Crafts Kit for Kids, Easy-to-Use, Loop Your Own Style, Aged 8+

These were a very much appreciated birthday gift.

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!

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.

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!

The rating doesn't reflect quality. It is a very good product. I just think instructions could have been done better/different. My daughter was continuously confused and frustrated. To the point it became a dust collector

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

Purchased for my grand daughter. She loves, loves it. Good purchase

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
