4 out of 5 stars The best way to make friendship bracelets!   November 23, 2008
Jennifer Leigh Jacobs (Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexcio)
This kit has everything you need (including super easy instructions) to begin making the coolest bracelets! Your friends will beg you to make them one, since you can't find bracelets like these in the store. Custom design the color and pattern and make a different one for everyone you know or for every outfit you own.

Awesome kit!

I have made bracelets for some of my grandaughters & grandson,friend in the neighborhood,a friend was in the area and seen her nephew with one and ask how did I make it.I showed her it and told her I bought it on amazon.com.Both my daughter in laws asked me to make them one.Only Destiny wanted to try to make her own.Everyone said it looked easy but had a hard time.It took me 10 minutes to figure it out.But showing people is alot easier them from directions & pictures.I enjoy this item very much.I make at least one a day.My grandaughters have quiet a few they wear.Ashley(6 yrs.) gave one to her best friend in school


5 out of 5 stars View Instructional Video on YouTube   September 25, 2008

There is a professional instructional video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWlVhBOqkuo or search for Friendship Bracelet Wheel) that shows you step-by-step instructions and tips on using these wheels. I've ordered the wheels for my 9 yr old but haven't received them yet. We've watched the video several times and are very excited for them to arrive. I see many people are saying the instruction manual is confusing so I hope some of you find this video helpful.

I purchased this for my 8 yr old. I love it so much that she hasn't had a chance to use it yet because I can't put it down. Unlike some other reviewers, I didn't think that the instructions were hard to understand. The wheels make 4 different bracelet patterns but the procedure is the same for all 4 patterns. All that differs is where you put the colors on the wheel to start. The bracelets are made by repeating just a couple of simple steps over and over again. The hardest part is that you move two strings, turn the wheel, move two strings, etc and if you look away from the wheel and then look back it can be hard to tell where you left off. My daughter may have trouble with it because it does take some concentration and you have to remember to mark where you left off before you take a break. The wheels are made of durable foam so they are very lightweight. I would recommend this for ages 8 and above.

I got this for my 9 year old for her birthday. She's really enjoying it and wants to make bracelets for all her friends. I've also made one and it is hard to put down. Once you get the basic instructions down, it's really easy. Something you can do while watching TV.
