It's called Snap Fashion Jewelry Studio by SmartLab Toys. SmartLab Toys makes all kinds of fun hands-on toys for ages 4-12, from Art Kits, to Science Kits, to Puzzles.
The Snap Fashion Jewelry Studio is a fun art craft for girls that teaches them how to make interchangeable fabric-covered snaps that mix and match into things like rings, bracelets, necklaces, ponytail holders, and headbands.
The kit includes an idea book, customizable snap maker, 25 domes and backs snaps to cover with fabric, 5 necklace and bracelet snaps, 2 snap rings, a necklace with hook and clasp, a charm attachment, 16 precut fabric circles, 12" ribbon, 12 birthstone gems, a transfer sheet, and a 5ml bottle of glue. My daughter was excited to start and dove right in. The steps to making an interchangeable fabric-covered snap are simple.
1. Choose a piece of precut fabric.
2. Put the fabric circle in the snap maker and put a dome over it.
3. Press down on the arm of the snap maker.
4. Raise the arm and tuck the fabric into the dome. Place a back on the snap maker.
5. Press down to "click".
6. Press the release button and you have your snap!!
My Thoughts: I think this is a great craft kit for young girls. It was very simple to use and easy to make fun jewelry. When you run out of precut fabric circles you can simply use your own fabric. The only concern right now is that there are no refill kits available to purchase but they plan on making them in the near future. For now, you can call customer service and they will assist.
Thoughts of an 8-Year Old: I really like that they are fun and easy to make and they can come on and off the necklaces in case one day I feel like yellow, and others not so much. I might feel a little blue and wear the charm bracelet above on my wrist. (The blue one) After all, they're so easy and fun to make, that there are loads for me to wear!
