Review on KOKO AROMA Window Kids Suncatchers by Mark Turner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent quality, beautiful

I have bought 12 and 24 carat packs. Good price, good quality. I deducted a star because the two items listed in the 12k box are not included and even if they are not essential it is a mistake that they are missing (instructions and lanyard). The 24-carat box was missing a plastic hook. Please note that colors other than black will not be duplicated, so if you buy both sets of 19 colors - 20 color tubes. The colors in the 12k set are translucent once dry and mine were all the same consistency. However, some 24k colors are fully opaque, some are very thick and others are quite thin and bleed too quickly. Many colors are less transparent than in the smaller set. The plastic molds of the sun catchers in both sets are of very good quality and a good size, with a few exceptions in the large set. They require 24 to 36 hours to fully cure/dry. Colors will darken significantly during the drying process, especially purple. No problem, just a warning. Crafty kids aged 7/8+ should be able to do this on their own. Toothpicks or something similar are needed to distribute the paint. Most children under the age of 7 may need supervision or assistance. Some reviewers have mentioned that the paint comes with the neck paint already applied. That's true, but I believe it happens at the time of delivery. There are no other signs of wear but the way the bottles are made without having to cut the cork allows the color to flow easily down the neck without opening. I am an elderly woman who bought them for me and am really enjoying the process of making them. She.
