"Well, worth the price. I did not have a problem with the cord or anything. They give you well over enough to work with and the good thing is you can make them any size you want. beads were made of glass as said and they are beautiful. I did not have a problem telling the red from the purple. I did however, have a a few of the beads stuck together, but if you put the bead in a cup in you shirt and press against the corner of a desk they will come apart and still look good. When you use all the beads in a bag it makes a good size adult bracelet. I am also a "beginner beader" and I found this easy and enjoyable. i think I will be ordering more bracelets off this site next year. I did have one angel missing, but I did not worry about it because I was gonna make an anklet for my baby niece and she did not anything bother her poor little legs. I even made a necklace for my son with some crosses I had. I ended up making 10 bracelets, one necklace, a pair of earings, and an ornament for our tree. I would enthusiastically recommend this product!"
