A bit text heavy for a young kid to follow. Four Looms for the Cell Phone case? I cant imagine anyone has four rainbow looms at home (thats $68 worth of plastic looms!) Even the simple Candy Cane design made on two looms. Many of the other projects require purchasing extra items beyond your $17 Rainbow Loom kit -- a craft hoop for the peace sign; specialty beads; even a watch face. If you are considering purchasing this book as a gift for your child; be prepared to be asked to buy more and more items so they can complete the projects.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. horribleBy S. Slovinthis book lacks so much detail as to how to place and loop the bands that its a miracle that anything comes out right. THe amount of time it takes to do these multistep projects only to find that 1 band wasnt looped properly and the whole thing is ruined; is truely frustrating and annoying! They just show you a picture of how it should look with bands placed and then a picture of how it should look looped without telling you which order to place bands or loop them. its a total guessing game based on what you see in the picture. I WISH that there were other books out there that used the real Rainbowloom technique with Susanne Peterson.horr1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Terrible instructionsBy MonicaWe purchased this book for my 8 years old daughter. It was her first book on the subject and we believed the images were nice and very appealing to make. However; when we got it we had no clue how to make them by reading the instructions. So we looked at the rainbow loom web page and saw the videos that are really helpful. I thought maybe with some practice on the basics we could get back to the book. My daughter has made already about 9 different designs from the web page and we still canrsquo;t make any from the book. I have tried myself without success. The instructions for the mustache are very clear from step 1 to 19; but the final step is summarized in just one image that we cannot clearly see the details. It was useless. We tried twice and gave up after 2 hours of trying. Not fair for a girl that wants to do creative things; while on the videos you can follow and have a final very nice item in less than 30 minutes. I cannot send it back because I live in Mexico and to do so will cost me more than purchasing a new one. Not worth it.
