[@yelljal2764]

Oh! I just thought of a really fun challenge series you can both do! So my idea is that you (Sika) purchase a craft kit of your choice and you (Jackie) purchase all of the materials included in the kit on your own. You then make the same project using the instruction booklet with one of you using the materials from the kit and one of you using your own materials. You can then compare the final outcome with time, efficiency and cost, seeing if the craft kit was really worth it.

Water actually gets moldy, it's why even with shakers it's advised to used distilled water or oil.

[@SoCalJellybean]

Exactly. Obviously can’t use sterile water in this situation, so preserver tablets are necessary.

[@JayofallTrades]

Good to know. I have a snow globe that was diy and it said just add water and glitter. I'm tempted to empty it and add distilled water but for now it hasn't gone cloudy on my shelf

[@taylorm1965]

Could the water also evaporate? I made some resin shakers a while ago with just regular water and I’m not sure if the water evaporated or I just didn’t seal them right

[@audi2121]

@@taylorm1965 so with airtight sealing it would but since the particles are still be contained so would stop. My guess is there was probably a bigger air bubble than it looked.

I almost bought the sew your own character kit for my daughter. I'm kind of glad I didn't. We opted for the Ravel Tales instead. Its a mystery toy wrapped in yarn. The yarn is used to stuff a pillow you can sew for the mystery stuffie. Then there's more yarn for bracelets and pom poms. $5 at giant tiger.

Ah I think that's why they have you put the glitter and water in the machine thing, the glitter that gets stuck in the thread of the valve messes with the seal

[@darkstrifequeen1458]

Sika and SalteCrafter are my spirit animals! Salte paid me a visit at a thrift store and gave me some cross-stitch craft kits. the only thing about cross-stitch craft kits that makes me salty is when the kits don't provide enough embroidery thread for a project, and you have to look for the exact color(s) at a craft store just to complete the project. *saltiness intensifies*

[@loverlei79]

lol the sewing kit was literally just an unfinished toy. Like buildabear only gar'bag'e

[@doubtful_seer]

I can see it being really good for a very young kid, just maybe closer to the $5 price point. It introduces them to sewing by teaching them a basic (very useful) stitch, showing the basics of how a plush is put together, and gives them a sense of accomplishment. Plus, it’s not so overly complicated that they might get bored and leave it unfinished. For 8 or 10 and above I could see a more intricate, start from the beginning project, but for the very young this is the equivalent of my grandmother only letting me sew buttons for several years.
