myStyle Deluxe Charm Bracelets

I have loved doing arts and crafts since I was a little girl myself, anything from lace-making to painting, knitting to jewellery making. I like to try anything given half the chance, so when I was asked if I would like to review this Deluxe Charm Bracelets kit, I couldn’t wait to get started.

When I opened the kit, I was surprised by just how much there was in the kit. It says there is enough to make 2 bracelets, including 2 gift pouches, 10 charms, eight dice charms, 80 eyelets (enough for 40 beads), 10 charm split rings, 7 colours of polymer clay, 3 bags of glitter, 2 colours of craft foil, a storage box, and tools, as well as a 20-page step-by-step instruction booklet.

The last time I made something with polymer clay, I was probably about 11 years old, so that was only a few years ago (I wish!). I followed the instructions in the booklet and decided to jump straight to the marbled effect beads, which were easy to do and very effective. The only colour that I had problems with was black. I wanted to create a black and white zebra-style bead, but the black colouring came off my fingers and made the white look a little bit dirty, so I disguised it with a bit of silver glitter.

Once I had finished making the beads, I popped them in the oven for 15 minutes at 130°C and then left them to cool for 15 minutes before making up my bracelet. I don’t think I should be expecting any calls from major companies wanting me to design their beads for them, but my excuse is, it was late, and I have two poorly children and one poorly Hubby!

The Deluxe Charm Bracelets would make a great present for children aged 8-99 years, and with a bit of imagination, they will create a beautiful bracelet to admire for years to come. Why not make loads of different beads so that you can chance them to match your outfit?
