Beadery Crystal Crosses Holiday Ornament Kit - Create 24 Stunning 1.25-Inch Ornaments (BOK-5536) Review

Delicate little crosses are easy and fun for kids of all ages with a little preparation and learning. I precut the trumpet brushes and preformed the crosspieces so the kids could easily start beadwork. I also used 1/8" satin ribbon for the hanging loops and precut them as well. I poured a small amount of glue into a small disposable sauce cup and used toothpicks to apply the glue as needed. Mess factor Loved this kit!

I ordered a cross decoration kit to make decorations for Christmas gifts. The set contains enough materials to craft the specified amount of jewelry. The instructions are easy to follow. The project was time consuming and took longer than expected, but the result was a beautiful decoration that looked homemade (it sort of was) and was light enough not to weigh down the branches. My friend has a set of snowflakes and they are good too. Snowflakes look more professional than crosses.

I make a lot of these easy crafts. This is the first kit I've seen that requires you to provide glue. However, they are very easy to assemble and hold their shape well when finished. The kit says enough to make 24 crosses, but after completing 21 we ran out of some beads. We added some decoration hooks and hung them on our tree. They turned out exactly as I expected. It would be great for kids, maybe 8 years old. I can't remember if there is an age recommendation on the packaging.
