Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought this kit after thinking about making the elf more poseable. I think you would need to have an idea of how sewing works to do this, but you don't need to be a professional seamstress. Most of the things in the kit (red/white thread, needles, thread remover) I already owned, but the magnets and soldering pieces, I did not. I'm not really sure if there is a dedicated method on how to do this, but I actually undid the threading that serves as the bends in the knees and elbows. I placed the magnets in hands and feet. Be careful which way you face them, as you may make them opposing if you face them in the wrong directions (I made this mistake, LOL). I also found the magnets to not be as strong as I would have liked. I used a needlenose plier to round off the edge of the solder that formed the hands and feet. This helped me to re-sew the area back up without concern of the sharp edges sticking out. The kit gives you 6 needles, which is not necessary, but very nice to have for future projects. I can't complain. Kit was convenient, took me 30 minutes to do and had everything but the scissors. The elf didn't complain either. I gave her a couple thimbles of whiskey and a Demerol to help with the pain. After a couple shots of my own, we got to work. I would definitely suggest this kit.
