"I've been wanting to make bookmarks, and found this kit for 12 at a great deal. Only thing I didn't use is the jump rings, which are rather flimsy, so I used my own instead. Otherwise, nice looking bookmark/beads/cross charm. On several, I used beads from my own stash to personalize, including alphabet beads, which I strung on wire instead of the pin, but always used the main bookmark and the cross. This would be an older kids project if you want them to do the plier-ing, unless they did the beads and you did the attaching for younger kids. They're making nice Christmas presents."
