Customer Reviews

Great activity for all ages!
I bought one of these for myself (just for fun) but the two wheels were quickly taken over by my 6 and 9 year old kids. There is only one set of four motions required to make all the brackets (the pattern is set by the initial ordering of the threads, and the wheels are color-coded to help you set up 4 different, very cute patterns: hearts, flowers, diamonds, and a four color barber-pole stripe) With a little tutoring even my 6-year old was able to produce bracelets as long as I was there to provide the occasional reminder. The bracelets take a while to produce so the child you purchase this for should have a good attention span, but the end product is very nice. I'm buying one for my little girl's friend. I hope she likes it as well as my kids do. Now I just need to get another for me!

Absolutely amazing!
This wheel is incredible. The first night my daughter got the wheel, she had a new friendship bracelet surrounded in hearts within hours. It seems like magic how something so simple as moving a string from the top to the bottom, turning, and doing it again can produce beautifully stiched and intricately detailed friendship bracelets. My nine-year old told me she thought it was relaxing, and I agreed so much that I came back and bought another set for myself and several of my co-workers! It's fun and amazing all at the same time, for young kids through grown-up kids.

View Instructional Video on YouTube
There is a professional instructional video on YouTube ([...]) that shows you step-by-step instructions and tips on using these wheels. A lot of reviews say that the instruction manual is confusing so I hope some of you find this video helpful. My 9 yr old and I have so much fun making these bracelets. It's very relaxing...I can sit and do them while watching TV. We found a pattern maker online and that has been a lot of fun to make up our own patterns. This is well worth the money!!
