(More customer reviews)I love craft kits whenever I want to try something new because they typically provide everything you need to make a few basic projects and get a feel for that particular craft. Then, if you enjoy doing it, you can always upgrade and add any tools you want. This kit had everything I needed to make quite a few beads (except a tank of MAPP gas which I picked up at the local hardware store for under 10 dollars, and the special tinted safety goggles. These are expensive but so far I have had no problem with regular safety goggles.) Add the gas and safety goggles and you are ready to go...except for one problem, the instructions consist of a measly folded over pamphlet! That is the reason I took one star away. There weren't even any good pictorial examples. I ordered an instructional video at an additional 20 dollar expense (there are many to choose from and books as well) but once I had that I was ready to go and even though I mangled my first three beads, I was soon getting the hang of it and have made many successful beads since. With the proper instruction and this kit, making the basic bead isn't nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be and I have even begun experimenting with more advanced beads and adding dichroic glass. This hobby is a lot of fun if you have patience, enjoy a challenge and love making something unique and beautiful. This kit gives you the necessary tools but not the necessary instruction in my opinion, but compared to buying everything separately and still having to seek instruction, the price is just right!
