Review on Jim Shore Friend Counted Kit 5X5 by Tara Ford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Yes, so cute!

I have made several of these beaded pieces and each one turned out even better than pictured. Pearls add shine and volume which is really impressive! The instructions may seem daunting at first, but they are well written, illustrated, and explained. Some thread colors can be confusing (e.g. light salmon and light orange or cream, off-white and light brown). I have a DMC thread chart that helped me determine the correct color. The confusion can be cleared up by packing closely related flowers into separate strands, but that's really a minor issue. Anyone who knows cross stitch will find these kits fun and useful.

Pros
