DIY Fairy Light Bulb

My daughter was just as excited with this as was my 8 year old grandchild.

purchased this quite awhile ago and I would like to address the other reviewer that stated this book is hard to understand and that the age recommendation of 5 is "pure comedy gold". Since this reviewer has been kind enough to share a photo of the first page and explain their reasoning behind this rating, you can decide for yourself.Please keep mind though, this negative comment referenced states that 2 "adults had a great deal of difficultly. One of whom has a LOT of craft experience!"And "after many I'll fated attempts" they came to the conclusion that "from the start, you get poor instructions. " as well as that "from the onset it doesn't tell you which side UP you should start with (the printed side or unprinted side?).--------Now, I am not a rocket scientist nor have I ever solved a game of Soduko, but wouldn't a 5 year old's common sense just take look at the first picture and interpret that obviously the blank side of the paper is the side that is facing up.By taking a quick micro-glance at the other steps of the process, I am sure that, like me, most people (including children) are bright enough to realize that every step shows both sides of the paper. It's also pretty obvious that one side is colored and one side is blank.If you take a look at Step 2, you can clearly see that white side is facing up and 2 colored flaps fold on top. How 2 grown adults and a 9 year old child were unable to realize this, is beyond my mind.I am not sure if they were expecting:1) Place book on table2) Read instructions in book3) Place paper on table with printed side facing down so that the blank side is facing up. Please make sure the printed side is facing down.4) With the blank side still facing up, fold diagonally from corner to corner using a combination of your hand muscles and finger muscles so that the flaps of the printed side are facing up in the same direction at the sky.5) Etc. Etc...I own this book and it's origami so its fun.I didn't graduate high school but if you are able to tell the difference between the colored, printed side of the paper compared to the blank, white side of the paper, (which is Kindergraden-level problem solving) then think you'll be able to do it.

Put this together with my 7-year-old in under an hour. Very pretty result, but there are some possible issues.When you open the box, some of the items are loose and some are in a bag. After you remove everything from the box, look inside to see if the plastic sheet۝ is stuck to the inside of the box like ours was. You need to place the fairy sticker on that plastic to make the silhouette.The kit includes two small glitter packets, but only one small craft glue packet. We only used one glitter packet. The glue packet only seems to be about half of what you need. Luckily I had my own craft glue to use when the packet ran out. You could probably use school glue, if that۪s all you have.The instructions are helpful, so look them over before you begin. You receive two sheets of tissue paper that need to be cut into thin strips before gluing them to the outside of the bulb. I cut one sheet before starting to glue and we didn۪t end up cutting the second sheet. When gluing them onto the bulb, try not to overlap the strips too much or you۪ll have some dark spots.

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas... she loves it... lights change colors and makes a cute addition to her reading nook

This is a great book! I'm paralyzed and always wanted to learn to knit. But how do you knit with 2 sticks and only 1 hand? you may ask. Well get , read, and follow the instructions in this book and just take your time and be patience and you'll be real happy on it's results - Now I can knit with a loom. :-)
