Friendship Bracelet Kit

- 100 different colors of floss, no duplicates. Labeled with DMC codes.- good quality cotton floss, 24 feet, 6 yards. The ends do fray a bit easily. Some skeins are wrapped interestingly, so they tangle very easily and need to be re-wrapped.- comes with a great clip to attach the starting end. It has a good grip if you put it on the knot or after. It will slide off if it doesn't have anything to keep it on and you pull tight.- most of the bracelets pictured on the box do not have patterns in the booklet which was very frustrating- some of the instructions don’t match their pictures in the patterns list. It seems like they forgot whole sections of steps.- not enough beads provided to finish an entire bracelet, not at all like the large quantity shown in the pictures- written instructions have missing words and can sometimes be a bit hard to figure out. The pictures are more helpful.

This awesome friendship bracelet making kit comes in a pretty purple box. This would make a great gift for a preteen/teenage girl/college student, or for anyone who likes crafts. You could also keep it and make gifts for others. There's an instruction booklet with various patterns. There's so much floss and such a great assortment of colors I was really impressed! If you have any left over floss you could use it for embroidery/cross stitch, as I like to add words to personalize mine and add my initials like an artist would on a painting. There's also 2 packs of beads, 1 silver and the other colorful plastic. A white clip is included which holds the threads while you braid and create the bracelet. I have nothing bad to say as this is awesome and I'd highly recommend that you get it!

I ordered this kit because it gives you A LOT of thread! Great value for both advanced crafter who want to spin lots of of products AND for complete beginners who need extra cord for all the oopsies. The booklet is ideal for beginners because it shoes the basic knots and a handful of ideas. Not too overwhelming for kids to learn and choose their style. The rest of the kit is super basic. A few beads and a clip to hold your project to the booklet while you work.

Hope you can catch this wonderful set of colorful yarn to make many friendship bracelets. Comes with a fantastic color instruction booklet with many different patterns so that you can learn tons of different beautiful designs! Fun! Enjoy! :0)

Includes 100 full skeins of embroidery floss in a wide range of colors, some miscellaneous beads, a clip, and an instruction book with 22 "patterns." This kit includes a LOT of floss, which means this kit can be used to make a huge number of bracelets. The booklet is great. The instructions are very clear and the pictures/diagrams make it incredibly easy to follow. This seems like a fabulous gift!

I bought it as a gift. Arrived on time.

The booklet is excellent and well illustrated.

This is good if ur into arts ans crafts

Kids may need some help at first, depending on their age and their experience with tying knots. Once they know how to do the knots required for a bracelet, it's pretty simple to make a bracelet, the simplest of which only requires one type of knot (aside from the starting knot).The instructions are both written and illustrated. Personally I have a hard time understanding instructions from illustrations, so I had a little trouble with certain things the written instructions don't completely clarify. For example, it describes the first type of knot as taking one string and putting it over, then under, the adjacent string and then pulling. The illustration very clearly shows you're meant to make a loop, so I think the fact that I somehow didn't comprehend that is my own issue. (I was basically braiding them instead of knotting them! Eventually I looked up a tutorial so I could see it in motion, and then I understood what I was doing wrong.)The floss it comes with is surprisingly sturdy. I had a fair amount of trial and error in making my first bracelet, including times there I had to untie knots I had done, and the floss barely frayed at all. The ruler on the box and the braid clip it comes with are really nice touches, too. I stood the box up (sideways, so that it was taller than it was long) and clipped the top of the bracelet onto it, making it easy to arrange the string and tie the knots. And the book comes with lots of great ideas for different bracelet types so that kids get a sense for the various options they can choose from for how to make their bracelets.

This Pinwheel Crafts Friendship Bracelet Kit is a great buy. It is simple, consisting only of 100 skeins of embroidery floss, a plastic clip to attach your bracelet to something solid as you make it, an excellent graphic book of 20 designs & a few decorative elements (beads) to include in some of the bracelets. It comes in a nicely decorated, giftable box but you likely will need a larger container to store the parts once it's open.Many Friendship Bracelet kits include a plastic loom or tray of some sort to hold the bracelet as you work & frankly, the directions can become complicated. This kit does NOT. Instead, the instruction booklet instructs you how to tie the correct knot to start the bracelet; you attach that knot to the plastic clip and then just pull it taut to work.The best part of this set (beyond the fact that at current pricing, each skein of embroidery floss is only $0.20) is the detailed instruction book. It is detailed and explains how to make each design well. In fact, these bracelets are a combination of knots using macrame techniques.This set would be great for kids about 8+. Sometimes simplicity is best. Highly recommend!
