My daughter has been trying to figure out how to make things using the candy wrapper technique. This kit was perfect. She's already made 2 bracelets and there are plenty of materials to make several more. She only wishes they would make a kit that would let you make a coin purse.

My daughter loves doing eco-crafts making things out of our recycling and whatnot. This is a perfect extension to that it comes with the materials to make a bunch of things, but the nice thing is that she can then apply the same ideas to recycled materials she gets around the house. She loves looking for new materials to make things out of wondering what this or that will look like as a bracelet when she's done.Warning your child may not let you throw things out anymore and will want to keep an inordinate amount of trash around because she wants to use it to make things!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program When we received this kit, my daughter was very excited. Visions of candy jewelry danced through her head and she set straight to work. We read the directions and then watched the video online to make sure we understood what we were doing. The problems started right off the get-go, the glue stick wouldn't twist nor was the glue actually sticky. Ok, not a problem, grab a glue stick from the craft box and press on. Unfortunately, that initial incident set the tone for the whole project. Neither one of us could get the folded papers small enough to fit in the hole punch, so again we used a real hole punch I happened to have. Then the papers wouldn't stay stuck, even after being glued and having a heavy book placed on top to help make it stick. Overall, I'm sure it's a great idea but for us the execution failed. My daughter lost interest after an hour of not-sticky, non-folding papers and having to raid my craft supplies. I'm sure it'll get picked up again (eventually) but my overall first impression was only 'meh'.Honest reviews on ALEX® Toys - Craft M&M'S Candy Wrapper Jewelry 759W
worth about $5. cheap and is in a very small box. This as a gift alone would look very cheap and cheezy!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for ALEX® Toys - Craft M&M'S Candy Wrapper Jewelry 759W
I love the idea of recycling and reusing materials, but this kit falls short. I remembered making gum wrapper chains when in grade school and thought this would be a great gift for my granddaughter.* The paper is too "slick" and doesn't hold the folds. There's glue and a burnisher included, but that adds a lot of steps. Fold. Burnish. Glue. Fold again. Glue again.
* The glue didn't stick! In fact, the instructions recommend putting the folded pieces UNDER A BOOK or heavy object to help flatten them.
The kit could be improved by using a matte or dull paper that is a little thinner.
I plan to return it.
