"I still think this was a great kit, but guess I thought the sparkle on the sticks was in the color or already on the sticks. They aren't. Be prepared to spend some time putting glue on each side and sprinkling glitter, dry time, glue shape together, then beads and hanging ribbon. More steps than I thought, which makes it kinda tough this time of year, but my 4 year old and I enjoyed the time together."
