Amazon.com Product Description
Create beautiful colorful beads from pre-cut foil strips! Make necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings with the easy to use bead-making machine. Just roll the foil strips onto a roller and crank the arm to form the beads. String these beads onto the included satin cord, elastic, and earring hooks to make funky jewelry that will dazzle your friends!
Just roll the foil…
Turn the crank…Just Roll, Crank, and Wear! The kit contains 72 pieces of foil in 4 colors for hours of fun and exploration. The child first folds and rolls the foil strip, then sandwiches it between one of 3 color-coded mold shapes. Turning the arm crank compresses the foil into a compact bead, which feels solid and looks great. The child can make round, cylindrical, or cone-shaped beads, or combine the molds to create funky, asymmetrical shapes. Combine 2 colors for a cool two-tone look!
Totally Unique, Totally Fun The Foil Bead Maker is a completely unique device which transforms flat strips of foil into gorgeous beads. Your child will quickly get the hang of this fun, engaging activity which is truly addictive. She can experiment with different color combinations and mold shapes, then plan her necklaces and bracelets. Girls become empowered when they are able to create jewerly that they will be proud to wear. Your child will make fashionable accessories that look like store-bought finished products.
Special Features Make it Easy to Use! The Foil Bead Maker has a special ratcheting feature which clicks when it's time to stop cranking. The special roller tube snaps into the back of the device for storage, and the two halves of each mold are color coded for easy recognition. It comes with great printed instructions for getting started, as well as an exciting online video which makes visualizing the activity even easier.

Customer Reviews
My daughter just received this as a gift and she and a friend are having a lot of fun making beads and stringing them. I would recommend for 8, maybe 7, and older.
I bought this for my 7 year old niece as a Christmas gift. She was extremely excited when she opened it and insisted that her parents let her use it right away! I should have known that it was going to be difficult to use, however, when they opened it and saw and instructional VIDEO! While the end beads are really neat (vibrant colors and varying shapes), it was really difficult for my niece to do on her own. As long as you are buying it for a child who has an adult who will be willing to help, I think it's a very neat gift. If the child is going to have to use it on his/her own, I would suggest that he/she be older than my 7 year old niece!
