Crafty Bands for Valentine's Day!

"Just in time for Valentine’s Day fun and gift-giving. Epiphany Crafts has introduced Crafty Bands, a brand-new line of design-it-yourself custom charm bracelets for kids. 

Crafty Bands allow children, ages 8 and up, to tap their imaginations and create truly custom charm jewelry. Using the innovative Shape Studio Tool, Crafty Bands allow users to mix and match colorful bracelets (in a number of hot Valentine colors such as Bubble Gum Pink, Grape Purple and Ice Blue) and accessorize with personalized charms created from photos, magazines and more. No more expensive pre-made charms with pre-printed designs!

For Parents: Crafty Bands are affordable products that inspire creativity, encourage crafting, and promote social interaction for their children. Crafty Bands are easy and safe to create, providing the catalyst for hours of open-ended activity either individually or with family, friends and school mates.

For Kids (especially Tweens): Crafty Bands lets them express their individuality, based on their interests and personalities. They get in on the newest fun by making and accessorizing their own “cool” charm bracelets with and for their friends. All they need is their imagination.

With Crafty Bands, kids are no longer limited to pre-made charms with pre-printed designs. Here’s how easy it is to create a Crafty Band:

·         Simply find a cool design or picture in a magazine or on the Internet

·         Slide the design into the innovative Shape Studio Tool

·         Place the Bubble Cap over the design

·         Close the lid and press

·         Remove the Bubble Cap and glue it into the Crafty Snap Setting

·         Close the Crafty Snap Setting through the band

The Crafty Bands Starter Kit is priced at $29.95, and includes the Shape Studio Tool, four Crafty Bands, 20 Crafty Snaps, 20 Bubble Caps and adhesive. Refill Kits, including four Crafty Bands and 20 Crafty Snaps, are priced at $6.99.

Crafty Bands are available to order online or by visiting Paperwishes.com or Hearthsong.com. For more information on Crafty Bands, please visit www.craftybands.com and on Facebook."

What we thought:  Both kiddos really enjoyed making our Crafty Bands!  The kit was all-inclusive and easy to use.  With a little supervision, my 4 and 6 year olds were able to complete this fun craft.  The kit is designed for kids 8+ and little to no supervision would be needed with that age group.  The bands turned out really cute and the kids were so proud of them!  The versatility of the bands allowed for each kiddo to express their own personality.  The Crafty Band Starter Kit would make a wonderful gift for your crafty valentine:)  ABCD Diaries gives Crafty Bands an A+!
