Guide Review - Invent it! Puzzle Kit
I've tried other Invent it! kits including the Mousepad Kit and have always found them fun, clever, and easy to use. The Puzzle Kit falls a bit short in ease of use. While the instructions are spelled out step-by-step, I found that the entire process is much more tedious than the package leads you to believe. That doesn't mean it isn't a fun project that is worth experimenting with. Just be forewarned and take heed of their warning: "Do Not Hurry!" The Puzzle Kit doesn't leave room for much trial and error. There are only two puzzles and 2 sheets of transfer paper. A neat idea for the dedicated crafter and those experienced with iron-on crafts but if you've never done iron-ons, start with t-shirts or mousepads first.
