5.0 out of 5 stars rave reviews from a 14 and 18 year old, October 8, 2007

By	Gift Maker - See all my reviews

Tired of spending large sums of money on my daughter's friend's b'day presents and knowing how much my daughter enjoyed art, I picked up this book and told my 14 year old that if she would use it to make gifts, I would pay for it. I figured it would be a win/win situation. She went to town making earrings and bracelets, wearing a new one each day to school. Her 18 year old sister came home from college and wanted everything she made but instead sat down and made her own. They shrinky dinked so much that I am ordering a refill pack and another book for my daughter to take back to college. Moral: kids of ALL ages will love this (including me). One of the most fun Klutz books we've gotten (and we've gotten a lot). And with a friend's b'day party coming up next week....

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, simple craft project, impressive results, August 16, 2008

By	Tina Hudgins "homeschool mom of 3" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got this for my 12 year old daughter and its been a big hit! The results are quite impressive. She's made earrings, a charm bracelet (of colorful Chinese lanterns) and several necklaces. The kit comes with several sheets of patterns to mix and match. They range from cute to sophisticated designs. If you are looking for a gift for preteens and up, this is a perfect choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!!, November 9, 2008

A Kid's Review

My aunt bought me it as a present, I tried it out and I ABSOULTLY LOVE IT! I made so much jewelry and I'm not spending a lot of money on store bought jewelry. It's great for making presents, giving them to friends, or just making them for you to wear. IT'S GREAT!!!
