CousinDIY Class in a Box Jewelry Making Kit

This is the perfect starter set! I was nervous because so many reviews said the kit was for teens. I'm in my late 20s, but just starting out making jewelry. The beads are a little cheap, but all strung together, they look fine. The tool is great, though I also used some needle nose pliers I have and don't think I would've been able to make this jewelry without them. I thought the directions were pretty good, better than I expected. I also watched a couple videos to help. The kit comes with a few extras which is nice in case you mess up! Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

With no prior jewelry making experience I was able to make a beautiful necklace that I would be proud to give as a gift.The instructions are clear and easy to understand.

I'm rating this as a class kit, since most that will by this kit will be beginners that want to learn. The instruction booklet lacks vital information such as the identification of the beads. The instructions say to use a mirror bead, but if one doesn't know what it is, they're not going to easily find it. There are other things missing that a beginner wouldn't know, that I think would be of use, like how tight to pull the wire, etc. I wasn't a fan of the one bracelet, as it was very child-like IMHO. It would be nicer if the design was not all of the same bead, but that is my personal preference. I'm also not fond of an elastic bracelet. It would have been nicer to have something that was a bit more sturdy and with a clasp.The kit itself is complete with everything you need including the tool and mat. The tool is OK and works. The finished items look nice but the beads are not the best quality. The wooden ones were stuck together and I had to pull them apart to use them. Overall, it's not a bad kit, but I prefer a bit more instruction for someone who is just starting out. To me a "class" is a true step-by-step and is made for learning, not fumbling.

Direction were clear and beads were of reasonable quality.

This is a good series of jewelry kits & fun to make.

Gift for my 11 year old granddaughter.She loves it !

Got this for my 12 yo. This is the 3rd set of these I've bought her. Instructions are very clear and she loves to make her own creations. This has also inspired her to go out and buy additional supplies to make her own original pieces.

I bought this as a starter for my jewelry making. Its good to start. Some of the items are cheap though. The one pair of ear rings dont look right, they look really cheap. The stretch cord is not that durable. The plyers work great for me, I had no trouble cutting anything with them. The beads are really pretty and very colorful.

Good quality !

too complicated. my daughter did not like it at all.
