Not the typical, cheap plastic beaded ornaments, these! The ease of assembly alone is unmatched. You start with the pre-formed, six-pointed wire armature, and simply thread on beads. A round-nose pliers loop holds the beads on each spoke, and the ornament is ready to hang on tree or in window. And, oh what beads! We use real crystal beads, for an unmistakable sparkle, and jewelry-quality, gleaming glass pearls and metal spacers. Kit makes two each of three different designs.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
The threading of the beads is easy enough, but holy cow....did you need to use such strong metal for the prongs. Even with the appropriate needle nosed pliers, it's nearly impossible to twist the ends, so that affects the overall product.
These look very pertty, however 2 of our metal 'snowflakes' fell apart during assembly (with very little pressure applied). This was very disappointing as there were only 6 in the package. I do not recommend this product.
