Product description
The product is comprised of 12 plastic bracelets of varying colors and widths and over 700 acrylic tiles in 17 styles. The acrylic tiles, made to resemble gems, are pre-cut pieces backed with a pressure sensitive adhesive allowing the user to peel the tiles from an acetate release sheet and press them onto the plastic bracelets. The kit includes instructions and example patterns but the variety of styles and colors of the tiles is meant to encourage creativity in designing bracelets with unique combinations and decorative patterns. The item is designed for the amusement of children 5 years of age and older. The craft kit’s amusement value is greater than the utilitarian value of the finished article.
