Review on 💍 Creating Sparkling Jewelry with the Melissa & Doug Bouquet Deluxe Jewelry Making Kit by Chad Black

Great idea, terrible execution. From the professionals: beautiful wooden beads in different colors and high-quality cords. The Bad: There are no handy instructions on how to use the plastic plug. After figuring it out, we found that they didn't hold up and the necklace fell apart. The beads are shipped in a wooden cork only with a paper thin plastic mailer which can result in the beads being lost. All heart-shaped beads have a hole through which you put the thread in the wrong place. So when you make necklaces, all the hearts will hang upside down. All these problems are really frustrating. Crafting is about making kids feel like they can do something. I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas and she wanted to make a necklace for her mom and dad. They didn't look right and didn't last. How do you explain to a three-year-old that an upside-down heart is normal? They want to do something good. I can honestly say we have to give this back to Santa to get another one. Very disappointed with beads, clasp and case.
