Cool Maker, KumiKreator Bead & Braider Friendship Necklace and Bracelet Making Kit, Arts & Crafts Kids Toys for Girls Ages 8 and up

Bought for my 7 year old. I have to help her set it up, but with guidance she can do it. The refills are expensive so I use embroidery thread to refill them.

GRANDDAUGHTER LOVED MAKEING BRACELETS

Great quality and easy to use

I wanted to give this machine a few tries before I gave it a review. To be fair, the first few times, three to be exact, that I tried it, I was not impressed. I can say fully, and unapologetically, that I was the problem and not the machine. The first few times I used it the results looked like some drunken, knotted mess. No I was not drinking. I started looking at the pattern and realized there was no white. Then I realized there was no white because I didn't put the white spool in. 🙄 I tried it with the white spool and it braided a lot better but the tension was too tight and locked up the spools. I didn't force it, so it wouldn't break, and I re-spooled the spools. Tension is important, following the instructions is very important. You can use other cord materials like embroidery floss to re-use the spools. The refill kits are too expensive in my opinion but the spool design is awesome. Make sure if you re-spool that you do so counter clockwise because your chord has to come off the spool clockwise. Also when you load your spools you will notice the front is the side with the solid part. This is important so you don't load the wrong side and have it pop out. I've done kumi braiding before with the friendship braiding disks and it takes me forever. This is a quick fun way to do the same thing. So far I love it. Especially now that I figured out what I was doing wrong. Lol

It looks like a lot of creative fun ,I believe it will be well received as a Christmas gift.

I got this for my 7 year old and it does not stay in place on the table while you are trying to to turn the handle. I also do not like that it you have to keep stopping to pull the bracket up cause if you don’t it gets all tangled up and your bracket is ruined and you have to take it all apart.

Ok this was a little hard to figure out the 1st use, we used the youtube video they recommended and it def helped and once we got it all together. I wouldnt say my 9 year old would have been able to put this all together on her own but once we got it setup it was fun for her to use

This product may be marketed toward kids, but it is so convenient for any person if they want to make kumihimo bracelets! If you know how painstaking it is to make kumihimo bracelets by hand with a disc, then you will love this product. What normally takes 3+ hours takes 5 minutes for me. I've been cranking out bracelets like crazy! Plus, you don't have to just use the cord they provide. You can also use embroidery thread, the same kind used in friendship bracelets, as long as you have the patience to restock your spools! Keep in mind though, using embroidery thread in this product will make your bracelet thinner than if you use the cord they provide.

Buono

Prodotto di ottima qualità, arrivato tutto in perfette condizioni.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my 8 year old. She loves it, we've used it a few times, she's made 3 bracelets so far, the first one we made together, the rest she's mostly done on her own. She's able to follow the guide to set it up and make the bracelet on her own but does need a little help to do the finishing bits (wrapping the little tape strips and feeling them into the clasps) as it can be fiddly but it's a good little product and we're happy with it. We will have to buy more reels and threads soon as it doesn't come with loads but for £10 you can buy a good little set of spare reels and thread so thats out plan

Meine Tochter liebt es mit dem Cool MAKER Kumi Kreator Armbänder und Ketten zu machen. Nach kurzer Zeit musste Nachschub her. Kam super an als Geschenk. Schöne Farben.

Alles bestens immer wieder
