I loved making these up. They were my FIRST beaded project and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! I wish I could've gave this 5 stars cause I'm very happy with this kit bit the reason I gave it 4 (as mentioned in my title) is because there was just enough beads to finish the pair. Before I started the fringe, my initial bead count was off by 1-2 beads (again, first timer so of course my fault lol) but had I gotten the right count, there would've been enough magenta beads to make up one full earring and ½ MAYBE ¾ of the second one. I was already expecting the possibility of there being a shortage due to the review that mentioned it but luckily with my count, I had enough to complete them. Overall, I am satisfied and would definitely purchase again.
