This review is from: Wire Jewelry Kit: 101 Tips and Techniques: Discover Clever Tricks and Handy Hints for Creating Your Own Stylish Wire Jewelry (Hardcover)

This is a great product that comes with all the tools you need to get started making jewelry. The beads were nice and well coordinated and the instructions were thorough. My only complaint is that it was a little difficult to free the tools from the packaging. It's the perfect gift for a young one looking to start making real jewelry and definitely worth the $15 I paid for it!
