Moose Toys Blingles Bling Studio

My 10-year-old daughter begged for this for Christmas, and she was thrilled to get it.The instructions are easy to read and the steps aren't that complicated. There are a few steps to get the final product though, so the details are important to pay attention to.It comes with templates the child can use or she/he can create one. The studio is pretty sturdy; it won't break easily.The jewels stay on whatever is "blinged" pretty well. My daughter has put them on her school binder, backpack, and lampshade.I would recommend this as a fun toy for ages 8 and above. Anything below will need an older person's help.

I bought this for my seven year old g-daughter for xmas and she absolutely loves it. She did have to have some help at first to figure out how it worked, but after a few times she blinged everything she could, even the dog's leash. I like the fact that the gem holder is covered to prevent spills, although I did buy a plastic container w/lid to hold the whole thing which makes it easier for her to carry around. I also bought the Shimmering Candy pack to go with it. I have a feeling I will be buying refills!

I would rate this a four or five star product if refills were available. I gave this to my 10 year old niece for Christmas and it was an immediate hit. She blinged her ipad case, iTouch, her mother's iphone case, and more. The product worked better than expected and the results were cute! But, the included gems and adhesive ran out after one day. It seems refill kits are not available, only additional sets. If the manufacturer would offer refills, I would rate this a four or five star product,

I'll be honest, these things drove me a little nuts, which is probably why the target audience is my 8 year old daughter's age. She loved this and has spent literally hours creating a wide variety of decorative bling. The pieces are tiny and it takes a steady hand (which is why I struggled when asked to 'give it a try', but if you've got a child with some real design flair and a bit of patience, this will be a big hit in your house.

Great kit, only downside is no extra bling available at stores... i.e. sell just bags of colored jewels. My daughter hates pink... loves purple, ran out of purple bling on day one. Other than that the kit is great, my daughter spent hours playing and making things sparkle.

Blingle Studio my grandaughter was so happy to receive this as a Christmas present.When she opened the box there were missing parts. Had to send it back, I did get mymoney back with no problem

For the price I paid, I expected a bit more. Clearly $40 doesn't give you much. Although my daughter did enjoy it; however, the limited supplies it came with were gone quickly. When I searched to get refills, I couldn't find it. I even went to the blingles' web site and still nothing. I sent an email to the company and have YET to hear from them. What's the point of this? One would think it shouldn't be difficult to purchase refills. Did the company go out of business after Christmas?

The little blinges chips are easily displaced and lost in the carpet. Takes a little to get used to when trying to figure out how to work it. Otherwise, its a nice gift.
