Why it works

Flat-bead bracelets are the ones being swapped at school right now. This kit takes away the frustrating part: a pen picks up the discs and the machine fastens the bracelet without knots. It makes fifteen, enough to share out among a group of friends.

Our verdict

For a child who already makes bracelets and wants to step up a level. If it is their first kit or they are under 7, start with Aquabeads.

They will like it if

  • they make bracelets and give them away
  • they have the patience to sort colours
  • they get together with friends to do crafts

Bear in mind

  • more than a thousand tiny beads: best on a tray
  • when the beads run out you have to buy refills
  • the workshop takes up a lot of room for what it does

What's in the box

  • 1220 heishi beads and 10 special ones
  • Materials for 15 bracelets
  • 17 cords and 16 clasps
  • Bead-collecting pen and ruler for measuring the wrist
  • Can be used alone
