Book Nook Magic: Build Your Ultimate Reading Retreat With DIY Book Nook Kit

Book Nook Magic: Build Your Ultimate Reading Retreat With DIY Book Nook Kit

Review: "Beware of counterfeit versions of this set. I purchased a counterfeit set that was far inferior and was missing several parts. I returned that set and purchased this one from CUTEBEE and I am very impressed. The wood used is crisp and straight, the laser cutting and patterns are precise and overall just like the marketing images. Very good attention to detail" - Thomas Aaron

I have a stressful job and making these dioramas has become my way to de-stress! When I make them I don't think about anything else because I have to concentrate so hard. I loved making this particular one. The details are impressive and oh, so many tiny books to make!

     Needle Felting Starter Kit: Your Stab At Creativity Begins Here!

    Review: "This was the most satisfying project I've tried in a long time. I've never felted before, but this kit had everything I needed to get started. There are a lot of needles included, and the felting pad seems to be very good quality for a beginner. It took me about two hours this afternoon to make my first kitty - I made him a little more detailed than the instructions showed. I think he turned out super cute for a first attempt. :) I'm hooked!" - Nursery Nurse

    Review: "I bought this as a casual gift for my cousin who just moved to the States and started her studies. She loves doing everything related to arts so I sent it to her during autumn break and she enjoyed this a lot. The package includes all the tools including paints, palette, brush, etc and there's really nothing else to prepare on your end. You're drawing on a sphere, not a flat canvas so that must be adding more fun to it. Highly satisfied that the gift receiver was happy with it!" - ERIC IHM

    These kits are cheap and the rendering is horrible. The designs are most likely stolen from the artist. If you are interested in diamond painting buy from a reputable company that pays the artists, and has good quality products, like Diamond art club or dreamer designs

    Boba Bliss In A Box: Unbox 6 Rounds Of Bubble Tea Kit Joy

    Boba Bliss In A Box: Unbox 6 Rounds Of Bubble Tea Kit Joy

    Review: "This kit is perfect for party and group hangouts! There are cups, syrups, boba, straws, stirring… all you need is a carton of milk and a microwave to make delicious boba for the group. I recommend chilling the syrup for a while before drizzle on the cup since it holds the marbling pattern better. The matcha syrup taste like high quality matcha and the brown sugar syrup are my faves! Not so impressed by the ube one since it doesn’t make cute purple color as the packaging, and the flavor is not as strong. But other than that, this is such a cute kit for party or hangout. Legit looks like I got a cup from the boba shop!" - Quinn Ngo

    Wing It With Science: Grow Your Own Butterflies With Nat Geo Butterfly Kit

    Review: "Ordered this for my son to do over summer break and we had so much fun doing this. It comes with everything that you need to care for the butterflies. One thing I might add is, you have to order the butterflies and pay a shipping and handling fee. On top of the kit. But it’s honestly so worth it. It says it comes with 5 caterpillars, but I was sent 6! It was so much fun watching the whole process. My son did become attached to his butterflies and cried when some died. So after 2 weeks of them in their butterfly stage, we set them free." - Meli

    So those poor butterflies where kept in that net or another enclosure for 2 weeks? Probably shattered those fragile wings before they've been set free? That's just cruel! Animals are living beings, not Toys! I hope they've been feeding right in the catarpillar stage.

    Or take your $40 to the hardware store and get yourself a bundle of cedar undercourse shingles ($15.10), a basic miter box and saw ($5.32 & $3.55), brad nails ($1.33) and exterior glue ($3.81). Not only do you get a miter box and saw out of the deal, you can take the leftover $10 and get ice cream. (Prices from Menards in Illinois).
